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](https://behabit.app/help/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.
