Create a habit
Tap the purple +. Name it, pick an emoji, then set it to every day or specific days (e.g. Tue · Thu). You can change the schedule later.
How dailio works
Habits solo or shared—here is exactly what the app does: buttons, streaks, flames, percentages, and what happens when you miss a day. If something is unclear, email us; we update this when people call it out.
Check in for today
Each card has a big circle on the right. Tap it when you have done the habit. The week row updates immediately.
Understand your progress
The flame is your streak. The percentage is recent performance. Both are data—use them to adjust the habit or ignore them; your call.
Sharing with friends
Only habits you choose are visible to anyone else. The rest stay on your phone like normal.
Shared habits show a Shared badge. People you add can see that habit and use the Social tab to react and comment. They do not see your other habits unless you share those too.
To stop sharing, open the habit, remove people in settings. It goes back to being just yours.
Streaks and missed days
Streaks use the schedule you set. Same rules for private habits and shared ones.
- Daily habits expect a check-in every calendar day.
- Specific-day habits only care about the days you chose.
- If you miss, your history stays. Shrink the habit, change the days, or reset expectations with a friend—then get back on it.
Questions we hear a lot
Short answers. Do not see your question? Email us—we read what comes in.
Can I change a habit from daily to specific days?
Yes. Open the habit, change the schedule, save. New weeks use the new plan. Past check-ins stay
where they are.
What happens to my streak if I miss a day?
The current streak resets per your rules. Your history stays. Most people use a miss as a signal to
resize the habit—not to quit.
Is my data private?
Habits are private until you share them. People only see what you invite them to. Defaults lean
private.
Does dailio work offline?
Check-ins are meant to be quick on your device. Offline details depend on your OS version. Sync,
backup, and social stuff work best when you are online.
How do I suggest a feature?
Email hello@dailio.app with subject “Feature idea”. We read
those.
Try it for a week
One habit. Seven days. Keep it private or loop in one friend. See if the flow feels right.
