Guides

These guides are written to be useful whichever app you use. Where Streaks can help, they say how.

• How to track habits automatically with Apple Health

  Which habits Health can track for you, from steps and sleep to water and mindful minutes, and how to set one up.

• How to use Screen Time to build or break a habit

  Daily limits for the apps you want to use less, and targets for the ones you want to use more, with their limits.

• Don't break the chain: the Seinfeld method, and why days off matter

  How the method works, where it goes wrong, and how planned days off keep a streak going.

• Switching habit trackers: how to bring your history across

  Export from your old app, reshape the CSV in a spreadsheet, and import it step by step.

• How to drink more water with Apple Watch and iPhone

  How much to aim for, logging water on your wrist so it's saved to Apple Health, and reminders that help.

• How to track medication on iPhone and Apple Watch

  Set up medications in the Health app, get reminders, log doses and keep a streak of the days you took them.

• How to reduce screen time on iPhone

  Find where the time goes, use App Limits, Downtime and Focus, and make your phone less tempting.

• How to quit smoking gradually: a cut-down-then-stop plan

  Set a quit date, lower your daily limit week by week, and get support along the way.

• Accountability partners: how sharing a habit helps you keep it

  Choosing a partner, agreeing how it works, and sharing a habit privately.
