Log Progress: Reduce Friction When Exceeding Weekly Habit Targets

Hi, thanks again for the explanation — I understand the goal of keeping the interface clean and focused.

However, in real usage, the problem still exists.

Exceeding a weekly habit target is often not a single extra action.

Some habits (for example repetition-based tasks or short drills) may be performed 10+ times after the target is already reached.

In these cases:

• Adding progress still involves extra steps or friction, and

• Once the habit moves to the Success section, it becomes out of sight, which significantly reduces the chance of continuing — especially when there are many pending habits or habits that naturally end with the day.

The assumption that users will return to the Success section later is often not realistic.

When motivation or time is available now, continuation depends on the habit remaining visible and active.

So the core issue is not the ability to add progress —

it’s the automatic transition to the Success state, which breaks momentum for progressive habits.

Simple, low-impact solution

An optional setting would fully solve this without changing your design philosophy:

• Automatic Success (current behavior)

• Disable automatic Success state — the habit stays active until the user decides it’s done

This:

• keeps the UI clean for users who prefer it,

• avoids introducing new habit types,

• and supports real-world, progressive habit building where the target is a minimum, not an endpoint.

Thanks again for considering this — I believe this small control would make a big difference.
