Log progress: X times/day habits should have "+1" button in Live Activity and Widget
Example: Drinking Water 5x a day with 5 notifications spaced throughout the day:
in the morning I click +1 in app = 1/5
on next reminder I click the live notification button = 5/5 (because it works like complete so +4)

Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing that example with us!
When we were designing the Live Activities, we wanted to make sure they felt effortless for every kind of habit. While a "+1" works beautifully for counting glasses of water, it becomes a bit tricky for goals like "30 minutes" of meditation or "500 kcal" of exercise.
To keep the experience as simple and consistent as possible across the whole app, we chose a single button that signifies "progress made" for all habit types. We try to lean into a minimalist approach so the interface stays calm and uncluttered, though we know this sometimes means a trade-off in specific convenience for counting habits.
One little tip that might help in the meantime: if you tap the notification itself (rather than the button), it will take you right to the logging screen where you can add that "+1" with just a quick tap.
We’re always listening to how our community uses these features, and I’ve shared your specific use case with our design team to keep in mind for future updates.
Thank you again for helping us make Habitify better!
