For habits such as nail biting or other “avoidance” habits, the app currently assumes success if the habit is not manually marked as failed. This makes it hard to track habits where success should only be counted after deliberate confirmation.
It would be very helpful to have an option like
“Only count this habit as completed when I manually confirm it.”
This would give users more control and make Habitify better suited to habits that require conscious reflection rather than passive completion.
Similarly, for basic hygiene habits like brushing teeth, some users prefer a simple yes or no check-in without timers or quantities. Making the default setup clearer or easier to switch to a simple confirmation mode would reduce friction.
I think both changes would improve accuracy, reduce mental load, and make Habitify more flexible for different habit types.

Hello!
Thank you for spending time sharing with us your pov!
As I understand, there are 2 main points here:
The ability to control the auto-succeed check-in on bad habits
Track the good habits with a simple Yes-No check-in
For the good habits, if you just simply to track if you complete it or not, you can set the goal as 1 time per day.
Regarding the suggestion for bad habit tracking, we have another post with the same idea, so I will merge the two, so the ideas can be contributed better!
