Habit Goal: X days cycle as an alternative to weekly habits

Feature Request

As a firefighter I spend 24hours at work 1 day out of 4.

It’s way easier for me to plan my habits in a 4 days cycle instead of a weekly schedule.

I would love to be able to set habits in the app that would be flexible (the strict « 4 days interval » is not a good option because I’m sometimes so exhausted after my shift that I need to delay my workout to the next day) but would be anchored to a 4 days cycle.

(Example : go for a run 2 days /4 (and not specifically on day 1 and 3; it could be any of the 4 days).

Thanks a lot 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Hello!

    Thank you so much for the incredible work you do as a firefighter! I can definitely see how a standard 7-day week doesn't quite align with a 24-hour shift rotation.

    For your specific situation, we have a recommendation that Habitify might provide the flexibility you need:

    • Set a Weekly Goal: Instead of an interval, set your habit to "2 times per week" (or however many sessions you aim for across 7 days).

    • Use the "Skip" Feature: On the days when you are on a 24-hour shift or too exhausted to work out, you can mark the habit as Skipped.

    By using the "Skip" function, you acknowledge that the habit wasn't possible that day without it counting as a "Fail" or breaking your streak. This leaves you the space and flexibility to complete your two sessions on whichever of the 4 days you feel most energized.

    We’ve noted your request for "Cycle-based" tracking for our product team to consider as we look for ways to support our users with non-traditional schedules.

    Stay safe out there, and thank you for being a part of our community!
