Challenge: Option to schedule a future start date for challenges

Feature Request

Currently, Habitify Challenges must be started manually, and the countdown begins immediately. It would be helpful to schedule a challenge to start on a specific future date - for example, setting up a “January 2026 Running Challenge”, challenge weeks ahead of time.

Feature proposal:

  • Add a date picker when creating a challenge (“Start on…”).

  • Allow participants to join before it starts.

  • Start automatically at 00:00 on the chosen date, with notifications for all participants.

  • Show countdown (“Challenge starts in 3 days”).

This would make planning easier for teams, groups, and individuals preparing for month‑long or new‑year challenges.

    It would also be great to have the choice to backdate a challenge. Might be a minor case, but we found the app after we had started a challenge. It would have been nice to have it align.
