Feature Request: A Proper Tasks Widget with Multi Check-in Support

Feature RequestHigh Priority

Hello Habitify Team,

I’d like to submit feedback regarding one of the biggest missing features in Habitify.

It’s disappointing that there is still no proper home screen widget that displays my tasks and lets me check them off directly without opening the app. The current widget only supports checking off a single task, which is extremely limited and doesn’t reflect how people actually use habit trackers.

In 2026, this feels very outdated. Even simple apps built by individuals using platforms like Replit often provide widgets that display multiple tasks with one-tap check-ins. It’s surprising that Habitify, as a dedicated habit-tracking app, still lacks this basic functionality.

A proper widget should:

  • Display multiple habits/tasks at once.

  • Allow checking them off directly from the home screen.

  • Update instantly without requiring the app to be opened.

  • Offer different widget sizes so users can choose how many tasks to display.

For many users, the home screen widget is one of the most important parts of a habit app. Having to open the app every time adds unnecessary friction and makes it less likely that habits will be tracked consistently.

I hope you’ll consider making this a priority, as it would significantly improve the overall user experience.

Thank you.

    Hello @Ahmad !

    Thanks for keeping it real with us!

    I completely hear you, and to be honest, you make some incredibly fair points.

    I’d love to pull back the curtain a bit and share why our widgets are currently set up this way, the technical hurdles we're dealing with, and where we want to take things next.

    Unlike a standard to-do list app where tasks are just "done" or "not done," habits are a bit more complex to track. Some of our users have simple habits (like taking a daily vitamin), but many others track habits with specific goals and units—like running 5 km, reading for 2 hours, or staying under 500 kcal. Each check-in requires logging a specific, custom value rather than just a simple tap.

    To keep the user experience consistent for all habit types, we unified the widget behavior. Tapping a habit on the widget instantly opens the app and brings up a quick-log pop-up window so you can input your precise progress.

    We absolutely hate any unnecessary friction just as much as you do! We are actively looking into how we can redesign our widgets to support instant, one-tap check-ins for simple habits while still keeping the detailed tracking intact for others.

    Thank you again for pushing us to make Habitify better. It’s feedback like this that keeps us on our toes and helps us figure out what to prioritize next!
