Habits and medication, beside everything else

The small daily things — creatine, vitamin D, water, a walk, the tablet you keep forgetting — do not deserve their own app.

A separate habit app

• Its own notifications
• Its own streaks
• No idea about your training
• One more icon to open

In Heala

• Beside your training and food
• Streaks across the same week
• Logged by sentence too
• One app to open

Habits

Set up the handful of daily things you are trying to be consistent about, and tick them off — or say them out loud, since the coach can log a habit like anything else.

They sit on the same day view as your food and training, which is the only reason they get ticked: an app you open for other reasons is an app where a habit survives.

Medication

Scheduled reminders for medication and supplements, with a record of what was actually taken rather than what was scheduled.

Useful for the ordinary reasons — remembering the thing — and for the less ordinary one: having an honest record to show someone.

What we removed on purpose

Streaks used to be repairable by paying, and that is gone for medication. A medication streak that can be bought back is a record that lies, and the record mattering more than the game is the whole point here.
