What happens when you miss a day

Missing one day is normal, and BeHabit treats it that way. Your streak restarts, but your history stays, and getting back is made as easy as possible.

The morning after

If yesterday was scheduled and not done, Today shows a card at the top:

Missed a day. That is fine.

Under it is your reason why (if you wrote one), or “One small step today puts [habit] back on track.”

• If the habit has a Minimum version, a Just… button logs it in one tap. For example, “Just 2 pages”.
• Open [habit] → takes you to the habit.
• ✕ hides the card for the day.

This card is for Build habits on a daily or chosen-days schedule. Weekly (times per week) habits don’t get it, since any day can still count.

A comeback

Do the habit today after missing yesterday and the card says “You came back. That’s the habit.” Insights counts it as a comeback. See Consistency, comebacks and best week, explained.

Never miss twice

When a habit’s streak is at 0 but it has a history, its screen shows how much of the last 30 days you did, and, if you set a minimum version, “Never miss twice. Today, just: …” with a Log it button.
