Getting started
How do I add a habit?

Tap the empty dial with a plus on it. ComboLoop asks what you want to work on, offers ideas by area, and lets you write your own. Everything (the name, the mark, the schedule, the reminder) can be changed later. Your combo will not.

Why can’t I choose the colour?

The colour comes from the mark. Water is aqua, reading is coral, sleep is indigo. It means every habit is a different colour without you having to pick one, and a grid never ends up as six blue rings. Change the mark and the colour changes with it.

How do I stamp a habit?

Tap its ring. A habit with a target (eight glasses, three chapters) takes one tap per step, and the ring fills as the day goes on. Tap a finished ring again to undo it.

What is a combo?

Your unbroken run of scheduled days. Today stays open until it passes, so a combo never breaks just because it is the afternoon.

Days, schedules and misses
I forgot to stamp yesterday. Can I fix it?

Yes. Open the habit, choose Edit days, and stamp or undo any recent day at full size. The combo recalculates around it.

I was ill for a week. Do I lose everything?

Not if you pause the habit. A pause sets those days aside. Nothing is owed, and the run waits where it is. Off days work the same way: they never break a combo.

I go to bed after midnight. Does that count as the next day?

Only if you want it to. Set the hour your day starts in Settings, and a stamp before that hour belongs to the day before.

Can I track something I am quitting?

Yes. Set the habit to “something to quit”, and a day you stayed clean is what gets marked. It builds a combo exactly the same way.

Widgets, Watch and sync
How do I add a widget?

Touch and hold the Home Screen, choose Add Widget, search for ComboLoop, then pick a size. Habit widgets can be pointed at one habit by long-pressing the widget and choosing Edit Widget. Tapping a dial in a widget stamps it.

How do I use the Apple Watch app?

Install ComboLoop from the Watch app on your iPhone. Tap a row to stamp it, use the details button to open a habit, and turn the crown for a counted habit.

Do my habits sync between my iPhone and iPad?

Yes, through your own iCloud, as long as both devices are signed into the same Apple Account with iCloud on. There is no sync button and nothing to log into. It just stays the same on both.

My devices are showing different things.

iCloud sync needs a moment and a network. Open ComboLoop on both devices, wait a few seconds, and check that iCloud Drive is on for ComboLoop in iOS Settings. If a day disagrees, the most recent change to that day wins.

Data, reminders and trouble
Can I get my data out?

Yes. Settings → Export writes your habits and history to a file you can keep or move anywhere.

My reminder did not arrive.

Check that notifications are allowed for ComboLoop in iOS Settings, that the reminder is switched on for that habit, and that today is a day the habit runs on. ComboLoop never nudges on an off day.

I deleted a habit by mistake.

ComboLoop archives rather than deletes. Look in Settings → Archive: the habit is there with its history, and can be restored.

Something is wrong. What should I send you?

What happened, what you expected instead, and the ComboLoop and iOS versions. ComboLoop’s is in Settings, under About. A screenshot helps more than anything else.

Reporting something broken

The fastest fix comes from the smallest description. Send what you did, what happened, what you expected instead, and the two version numbers: ComboLoop’s, from Settings → About, and iOS’s, from the Settings app. A screenshot of the screen it happened on is worth a paragraph.

Feature requests are welcome at the same address. ComboLoop stays a habit tracker, so the answer is sometimes no, but it is always read.
