Find your way around Settings

Theme and language, week start, Today screen options, reminders, App Lock, backup and export: where each setting lives.

Updated

Settings is grouped into a few screens. Here’s where things live.

Appearance

Settings › Appearance holds Theme and Language.

  • Theme: Light, Dark or System. System follows your phone and switches automatically.
  • Language: BeHabit speaks English, Français and العربية. Arabic uses a right-to-left layout. When you switch to or from Arabic, close and reopen the app so the layout direction can flip.

Habits

Settings › Habits holds how your habits behave and look:

  • Your goals & routine: the answers BeHabit uses to suggest habits.
  • Week starts on: Monday (the default), Saturday or Sunday. It changes the week strip, weekly habits and your weekly recap.
  • Today screen: Show streaks, Show progress on Today (the month grid under each card) and, on iPhone with Premium, Today on Lock Screen.
  • Archived habits.

Reminders

The Reminders switch and Reminder style sit right on the main Settings screen. See Set up reminders.

Connected

Widgets, Siri & Shortcuts (iPhone) or Gemini (Android), Apple Health (iPhone) and Calendar sync.

Privacy, data and help

  • Settings › Privacy & security: App Lock (Face ID, Touch ID or passcode, with a choice of how soon it locks again) and Share anonymous usage.
  • Settings › Data & backup: Backup & restore, Export to a file, Import from a file and Erase local data.
  • Settings › Help & about: Guide tips, Replay the intro, Contact us, and the privacy policy and terms.
