Building habits is always better together. That’s why we built Challenges—to help you find your tribe and push your limits. Today, we are releasing an update designed to make your Challenge experience smoother, clearer, and more connected.
Here is what’s new for Challenges in Habitify:
Not all habits are created equal, and neither are Challenges. We’ve introduced a Scoring & Difficulty system that lets you define the stakes. High penalties make the challenge more intense, while lower ones keep it encouraging for beginners.
You can now choose from three distinct modes:
🍃 Friendly: Perfect for building consistency without stress. There are no penalties for mistakes—just focus on showing up.
⚔️ Competitive: A fair fight for those who want a nudge. A small penalty (-50 points) keeps you on your toes if you miss a day.
🔥 Hardcore: High risk, high reward. One miss wipes out 1.5 days of progress (-150 points). Only choose this if you are ready to play for keeps!

Healthy competition requires transparency. We’ve improved how you view your fellow challengers.
Tap to Peek: You can now tap on any member within the Challenge list.
See the Journey: Tapping reveals their specific progress details for that challenge. See exactly how they are maintaining their streak or how many reps they’ve logged. It’s perfect for verifying the leaderboard or getting inspired by the top performers!

We’ve removed the friction between you and your squad.
Tap and Go: Previously, tapping a Challenge notification just opened the app, leaving you to navigate to the right screen. Now, tapping a push notification from a Challenge will deep link you directly to that specific Challenge page.
Never Miss a Beat: Whether it’s a leaderboard update or a new chat message, you can jump straight into the action in seconds.
Head over to the Community Tab to explore new challenges. Will you play it Friendly or go full Hardcore? The choice is yours.
