## What goal types does HabitRix have?

HabitRix has three goal types for personal habits. The goal type also sets how the [streak is calculated](/help/how-streaks-are-calculated/).

| Goal type | What it means | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Do the habit every day, with one or several check-ins per day | Android: 1 or more check-ins per day. iPhone: 1 to 100 per day. |
| Weekly | Do the habit on a set number of days each week | 1 to 7 days per week |
| Monthly | Do the habit on a set number of days each month | Android: up to 30. iPhone: up to 31. |

For weekly and monthly goals, each day counts one time.

## How do I set a goal?

To set a goal, open the goal setting when you create or edit a habit. Choose the goal type, then choose the number.

### On Android

1. Create a new habit, or open a habit and tap the edit icon.
2. Tap **Streak**.
3. Choose **Daily**, **Weekly** or **Monthly**.
4. For a weekly or monthly goal, set **Completions Per Week** or **Completions Per Month**.
5. Tap **Save**.
6. For a daily goal with several check-ins, set **Completions Per Day** on the habit screen.

### On iPhone

1. Create a new habit, or edit a habit.
2. Tap **Goal & Frequency**.
3. In **Goal Interval**, choose **Daily**, **Weekly** or **Monthly**.
4. In **Completions Goal**, set how many times.

## How do several check-ins per day work?

A daily habit can have several check-ins per day, for example “Drink water, 8 times”. Each tap on the habit adds one check-in. The day counts as done when you reach the goal, for example 8 of 8. The activity grid shows lighter colors for days with some check-ins, and full color for complete days.

## How do I track special kinds of habits?

Use these simple setups for common goals.

| Goal | Setup in HabitRix |
|---|---|
| Set days, such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday | A weekly goal of 3 days, plus reminders on Monday, Wednesday and Friday |
| A distance or an amount, such as “Run 5 km” | Put the amount in the habit name, and check in when you reach it |
| Small counts, such as 8 glasses of water | A daily goal with 8 check-ins per day |
| A habit to quit, such as smoking | Track the positive version, “Smoke-free day”, and check in each day you keep it |
| Rest days, such as a workout 5 days a week | A weekly goal of 5 days |

## How do goals work in a room?

A shared room uses one simple daily check-in. Each member taps to mark today as done. Weekly goals, monthly goals and several check-ins per day are for personal habits.

For a weekly group goal, such as 3 workouts per week, use the room as a daily “did you do it today?” check-in. Each member checks in on their workout days. Then compare totals on the room leaderboard. Android ranks members by days done. On iPhone, choose **Total**.

To start a room, read [Create a room and invite friends](/help/create-a-room-and-invite-friends/).

## Good to know

- **Change a goal at any time.** Edit the habit and choose a new goal. HabitRix uses the new goal for your past check-ins too, so the streak updates.
- **Reminders follow the days you choose.** A weekly goal can have reminders on set days. See [Reminders and widgets](/help/reminders-and-widgets/).
