Building Habits

Tap the + button on the Habits tab to open the habit creator. Give your habit a name, pick an icon, and choose the schedule and tracking type that fits your goal.

Pilli supports three repeat schedules:

• Daily — the habit appears every day. Miss a day and your streak resets.
• Weekly — set a target number of days per week (e.g., 3×/week). You choose which days. A week counts as completed when you hit the target before Sunday ends.
• Monthly — pick specific calendar days (e.g., the 1st and 15th). Only those days appear on your grid.

Each habit tracks progress in one of two ways:

• Count — tap a number (e.g., 8 glasses of water). A single tap marks +1; long-press opens a custom entry sheet.
• Timed — run a stopwatch directly from the habit card. Learn more about timed habits →

Assign one or more categories to a habit (Health, Fitness, Mindfulness, etc.) to filter the list and keep things organised. You can create custom categories in Habits → ⋯ → Manage Categories.

Add one or more reminders to a habit so Pilli sends a notification at the times you choose. Reminders are local — they never leave your device.

Archiving a habit hides it from the main list but keeps its entire history intact. Deleting a habit is permanent and cannot be undone. Use Archive when you want to pause a habit and come back to it later.

Tap ⋯ → Reorder to drag habits into any order. That order is saved and will persist across launches.

Tap ⋯ → Preferences to customise how habit cards look — toggle the description, streak badge, weekday labels, and grid shape.
