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.

- 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.
