An account keeps your habits safe. Once you're signed in, every change is backed up automatically and syncs to any iPhone where you log in. Without one, your habits live only on your phone.
- Open the Profile tab and tap Create account. (It's also in Settings.)
- Choose Continue with Apple, Continue with Google or Sign up with email.
- If you signed up with email, enter the 6-digit code we send you.
That's it. The habits already on your phone are uploaded to your new account, so you don't lose anything.
To check that backup is on, open Settings and look at Backup under Data. It says On when you're signed in and Off for guests.
How syncing works: changes are saved on your phone first and sent to your account a moment later whenever you're online. If you're offline, nothing is lost. Everything syncs once you're back online.
Logging out removes your habits from the phone, but they stay in your account and come back when you log in again.
