Reminders that only show up when they're needed
habiloop sends push reminders per habit at the time and on the weekdays you choose, but only if the habit is due and still open that day. If you've already done it, your phone stays quiet.

Setting a reminder
Open the habit
Go to Habits, open the habit and scroll to Reminders.
Pick a time and days
Add a time, for example 07:30. The weekdays follow the habit's schedule, and you can change them.
Allow notifications
Tap "Turn on reminders". Your browser asks for permission only at this moment, never when a page loads.
You can add more than one reminder per habit, say a nudge at 8 am and a second one at 6 pm for the water glass.
The evening check
In the settings you can turn on a daily summary. It's off by default and comes at 8 pm unless you pick another time. It simply says how many habits are still open, like "2 of 5 still open", and stays silent on days when you've done everything or your whole account is paused.
Reminders on iPhone and iPad
Apple only allows web push for web apps that have been added to the Home Screen. Open habiloop.com in Safari, tap Share, choose "Add to Home Screen", start habiloop from the new icon and turn on reminders there. On Android, Windows and macOS it works directly in Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
Tone of voice
Reminders are written to sound like a friend, not like a debt collector: "Loopi is waiting for the water glass". For quit habits they're optional and only encouraging. Tapping a reminder opens the habit directly.
Questions about this
Why didn't I get a reminder?
Either the habit was already done, not due, paused or skipped that day, notifications are blocked in the browser or system settings, or on iPhone habiloop wasn't opened from the Home Screen icon.
