Widgets: Show the bad habits on widgets
Currently, the Android widget only displays positive habits (To-Build) but completely hides negative ones (To-Break). For me, being able to see these habits on my home screen is critical. To successfully break a habit, I need a daily visual reminder to track that I didn't eat sweets or drink coffee today. If they only sit inside the app, I simply forget about them and break my streak. The widget functionality was the main reason I chose Habitify, so it was quite disappointing to find this limitation. I am now forced to log all my bad habits as "positive" ones and check them off when I don't break them. However, this ruins the app's internal logic: if my monthly limit for breaking a habit is 2 days, I have to manually adjust my goal to 28, 29, or 26 days depending on the month. Because I can't add negative habits to the widget, your brilliantly designed "To-Break" feature becomes practically useless to me. I would love to see an option to display negative habits on the widget with a quick-check feature for successful days.

Hi!
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the widgets with us. We've noted this for the team.
Meanwhile:
for the habit to quit, you can use the widget “Day Since”.
for the habit to limit, you can set the goal per week or month, then use the widget “Progress Tracker”.
Hope this is helpful!

Negative habits (To-Break) are missing from the widget
