Where your data lives
Your habits are stored on your phone and work offline. Nothing leaves it unless you use Premium backup or share a habit.

On your phone
Your habits and check-ins are stored on your phone. BeHabit doesn’t need an account, and everything works offline.
When anything leaves the phone
Only if you choose to:
- Premium backup and sync keeps a copy of your data in your account, so it can sync to your other devices and be restored. See Back up, sync and restore.
- Shared habits share that habit’s name, icon, colour and check-ins, members’ display names, and any nudges or cheers, with the friends you invite.
- Calendar sync writes the events you ask for into the calendar you picked. The Planner also reads your events to show them on the timeline.
- Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play.
- Crash reports never include your habits. Share anonymous usage (in Settings › Privacy & security) sends a few anonymous events tied to a random install ID; turn it off any time.
Place reminders, Apple Health and Siri or Gemini all work on the phone: your location and Health data are never uploaded.
Take it or erase it
- Export everything at any time: Export and import your data.
- Settings › Data & backup › Erase local data deletes your habits and their history on this phone. Settings are kept, and a cloud backup isn’t affected.
