One developer builds this app, and the same one answers the mail. Write to [email protected] and you will get a real reply, usually within a couple of days.
You bank one shield for every five consecutive days you satisfy a habit, up to three at a time. Miss a day and a shield is spent automatically, so the chain survives. The day is still recorded as missed in the history — a spent shield is shown in the shield ledger on the habit’s screen, so the log never lies about what happened.
No. Turn on Break mode and every habit is frozen for as long as you leave it on, at no cost in shields. Those days are recorded as frozen rather than missed, so a flu or a fortnight away never reads as failure. It is in Settings, under The chain.
In one file inside the app’s own storage on your iPhone. There is no account and no server. Deleting the app deletes the file, so if you are switching phones, use an encrypted device backup or transfer.
Open the unlock screen and tap Restore. Purchases are tied to your Apple Account, so as long as you are signed in with the same one, the unlock comes back. If it does not, email me and I will sort it out.
Health habits read data you already record, and iOS grants that permission per data type. Open the Health app, then Sharing, then Apps, find miniHabits, and check the type in question is allowed. miniHabits only ever reads; it never writes to Health.
Export is on the roadmap and is not in 1.0. If you need your log out of the app before then, email me and I will help you get it.
Email me with the habit name and roughly which days look wrong. Streaks are recalculated from the log every time they are read rather than stored as a counter, so a wrong number usually points at a real bug and I would like to know about it.
Email [email protected]. Tell me your iOS version and what you expected to happen, and I will take it from there.
