The quickest way is to long-press the habit in the list and tap Don’t Skip.

You can also do it from settings:

1. Open Settings (gear icon).
2. Tap Sort.
3. Turn Hide skipped off.
4. Close the settings and tap the habit in the list.
5. Tap the Don’t Skip button.

A skipped habit is marked as skipped for that day (shown struck through) and doesn’t affect your statistics, while a missed habit stays in the list and breaks your statistics.

By default, skipped habits stay visible in the list. If you prefer, you can turn on Hide skipped in the day-list filters to hide them.

Skip is meant for when you can’t complete a habit because of unexpected circumstances; otherwise the habit should be left as missed. For example, if you got sick you can skip the habit, but if you just felt lazy you should leave it missed.

Skip doesn’t break your habit statistics — it keeps your streak, success rate, and so on, as if the habit wasn’t meant to be done that day.

Habit groups let you organize your habits into separate sections. Grouped habits stay together in the list and can be collapsed or expanded, so you can easily distinguish them from other habits.

Create a group

1. Open Settings (gear icon).
2. Tap Groups.
3. Tap the + (Add Group) button to create a new group, or swipe/long-press an existing group and choose Edit.

Add habits to a group

Creating a group doesn’t move any habits into it on its own. To group a habit, open the habit’s Edit screen and choose a group under Main Group. You can also add a habit to Secondary Groups so it appears in more than one group at once.

Bad habits can have one of two statuses: completed or missed.

• Completed: your total logged value is below the goal (or 0).
• Missed: your total logged value reaches or exceeds the goal.

At the end of each period (day, week, or month, depending on the habit’s goal interval), if your logged value is below the goal, the habit is automatically marked as completed.

You can change the habit order by following these steps:

1. Tap the reorder button (the list icon) in the top-left corner.
2. On the Reorder Habits screen, drag and drop habits or groups to change their order.

Each habit log records the moment it was made. Which calendar day that log counts toward depends on your device’s local timezone and your Day Starts At setting — not a fixed UTC offset. Your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud, not on a Grit server.

If you travel across timezones, a log made close to your day boundary can shift to the neighboring day, because the app re-evaluates each log against your current local time and day-start setting. Logs made well within a day are unaffected.

This applies to habits using the default Automatic reminder mode. (If you switch a habit to Custom reminders, notifications fire at the times you set instead.)

Notifications are scheduled automatically based on the habit’s most recent completion time. For example, if you complete a habit at 10:00 AM, a reminder is scheduled for 10:00 AM the next day if the habit isn’t completed by then — and it repeats on the following days until the habit is done.

A reminder for a given day is skipped if the habit is already completed, skipped, missed, or not due that day.

You can set specific reminder times for a habit. (Custom reminder times are available for Good and To-do habits.)

1. Tap the habit whose notification time you want to change.
2. Tap the 3 dots (More) button.
3. Tap Edit.
4. Tap Notifications.
5. Turn on Allow Notifications if it isn’t already.
6. Under Reminder Schedule, choose Custom.
7. Tap Add Reminder.
8. Select the desired time and tap Save to save the reminder.
