BeHabit reaches a little further than the Home Screen. Most of these are on iPhone; Premium is marked.

## Year widget for the Lock Screen (iPhone, Premium)

Every day of the year as a dot: what has passed, and what is left. It comes as a rectangle, a circle, or a line above the clock.

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen, then tap **Customize**.
2. Choose **Lock Screen** and tap the area under the clock.
3. Find BeHabit and pick the **Year** widget.

## Year wallpaper (Premium)

**Settings › Widgets › Year wallpaper** turns your whole year into a full-screen Lock Screen picture, in **Dark**, **Black** or **Light**. Tap **Save image**.

- **Android**: switch on **Update every night** and BeHabit redraws your Lock Screen wallpaper just after midnight.
- **iPhone**: a wallpaper is a still picture, but Shortcuts can set a fresh one every day. In Shortcuts, add a daily **Time of Day** automation with the BeHabit action **Get Year Wallpaper**, then **Set Wallpaper Photo**. The steps are on the Year wallpaper screen.

## Today on Lock Screen (iPhone, Premium)

**Settings › Habits › Today on Lock Screen** shows a Live Activity with your progress and next habit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, until the day is done. It’s off until you turn it on.

A running [focus timer](https://behabit.app/help/counts-and-timers) shows there too, on the free plan.

## Control Center, Lock Screen buttons and the Action Button (iOS 18+, Premium)

Two controls:

- **Check Off Habit** marks the habit you pick done for today.
- **Log Today** opens BeHabit on today’s habits.

Add them to Control Center (swipe down from the top right, hold an empty spot, tap **Add a Control**, pick BeHabit), to the Lock Screen (hold it, tap **Customize**, replace one of the bottom buttons), or to the Action Button in your iPhone’s Settings.

## Free extras

- **Quick actions** (iPhone and Android): touch and hold the BeHabit icon for **Log today**, **New habit**, and up to two of today’s habits to mark done.
- **Spotlight** (iPhone): search for a habit by name to open it, or for “add habit”.
- **Focus filters** (iPhone): show only some habits while a Focus is on. In your iPhone’s **Settings › Focus**, pick a Focus, tap **Add Filter**, choose BeHabit, and pick the categories to keep, or hide quit habits. Today follows the Focus; the Planner and Insights keep everything.
