Clear Habits FAQ

Clear Habits is a daily execution app built around commitment and follow-through. You choose what matters for today, lock it in, then review execution honestly.

Yes. You can track routines, recurring habits, personal tasks, and study or work actions. The app focuses on execution — not what the habit “means.”

No. Clear Habits does not require accounts, logins, or sign-ups.

Your DayPlan is your committed set of habits for a specific day. It represents what you agreed to execute for that day.

To remove mid-day negotiation. Changing the plan during the day usually lowers standards and makes feedback unreliable.

After you commit, edits apply to tomorrow — not today. This keeps today’s commitment honest and pushes better planning instead of reactive changes.

You can still mark habits as Done or Missed, but you can’t change the plan itself. Once the day is completed (perfect or broken), Home locks for the day and planning continues with tomorrow.

If any committed habit is missed, the day is marked as broken. Clear Habits doesn’t punish misses — it uses them to generate accurate feedback for tomorrow.

Challenges are time-bound streak goals — commit to a habit for a set number of consecutive days (7 to 90 days). Miss a day and the challenge resets to day 1. Free users can run 1 challenge at a time, Premium users can run up to 3. Challenges appear in your daily plan automatically alongside your regular habits, and completing them earns XP, raises your level, unlocks titles, and grows your identity plant — visible on the Challenges tab.

Premium users can create custom challenges with their own title, duration, and category. Free users can start any of the built-in challenges.

Every day you check in on a challenge earns you +10 XP. Completing the full challenge earns a bonus of 5 XP × its length (a 30-day challenge = 150 bonus XP on top of 300 from daily check-ins). XP and levels are never lost — even if a challenge resets, the XP you earned from it stays. Levels go from 1 to 50, and your identity plant grows through 5 stages: seed, sprout, sapling, tree, and bloom. Titles are unlocked by completing challenges of specific lengths — Discipline Apprentice for your first finish, Consistency Builder for a 7-day, all the way up to Iron Discipline for a 90-day.

Habits and challenges serve different purposes. Habits are your daily routine — already rewarded through streaks, perfect days, and Insights. Challenges are time-bound commitments with a clear finish line, which is a natural fit for XP and progression. Keeping XP exclusive to challenges also prevents habit-farming — adding trivial habits just to rack up points. Both systems stay honest because of it.

Circles let you and your friends track daily progress together. Create a circle, share the invite code, and see who's committed, in progress, or not started each day. Free users can join one circle. Premium users get unlimited circles.

A nudge is a one-tap reminder you can send to a circle member who hasn't started their day yet. Each member can only be nudged once per day.

Premium unlocks unlimited habits, advanced insights (weekly/monthly/yearly analytics, completion trends, blocker patterns), time-block performance, fragile day forecasts, coaching verdicts, streak protection (2 per month), custom challenges, unlimited accountability circles, and editing yesterday's habits after cutoff.

Some insights only become useful when enough history exists to detect patterns reliably. Premium focuses on deeper pattern recognition and clearer next-step feedback over time.

Yes. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time through your device’s app store. Access remains until the end of the billing period. Refunds follow the app store’s policies.

Use Restore Purchases on the paywall. Premium access is restored through your Apple App Store or Google Play account if an active subscription is found.

Streak protection is a Premium feature that lets you save your perfect-day streak when life gets in the way. You get 2 protections per calendar month. The day still counts as broken in your insights and circle status — only your streak counter is preserved. Protected days show a shield icon in your calendar. Note: streak protection applies to your perfect-day streak only — it does not cover challenges. Challenges reset on a missed day with no protection, and that's part of what makes finishing one meaningful.

No. A protected day is still a broken day in your insights, blocker analytics, and completion rate. The only thing it protects is your perfect streak counter. Your data stays honest.

Your habit-tracking data is stored primarily on your device. Premium purchase and subscription status may also be handled by Apple App Store, Google Play, and related subscription infrastructure.

Yes. Clear Habits syncs your data securely to the cloud using your device ID. This includes your habits, daily plans, records, streak protections, and challenge progress. If you reinstall the app on the same device, your data is restored automatically.

Your habits, daily plans, completion records, streak protections, challenge progress, and circle memberships are synced. Notification preferences and display settings remain on-device only.

Yes. You can delete all stored data instantly using Reset all data in Settings.

After positive milestones like completing 7 days, the app may ask if you're enjoying Clear Habits. If you say yes, your device's native App Store or Play Store review dialog appears. If not, you're offered a way to send feedback directly. The app asks at most 3 times per year with at least 60 days between prompts.

No. Clear Habits is a general productivity and habit-tracking tool. It does not provide medical, psychological, or professional advice.

Clear Habits is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13.
