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.
