Quit or cut back, without the guilt trip
habiloop tracks habits you want to build and habits you want to get rid of. For quitting or cutting back you set a daily limit, from "at most 2 coffees" to "0 cigarettes", and habiloop counts how many days you stayed within it.

Two kinds of habits: build and quit
When you create a habit, the first switch asks what you're after: Build or Cut back. Build is the classic tracker, you aim to reach a target. Cut back turns it around: the number is a ceiling, and a good day is a day at or under it.
- Cut back: "Coffee, at most 2 cups a day". You tap + for every cup you have anyway.
- Quit completely: "Cigarettes, at most 0". The card shows how many days you've been free.
- Yes or no: "No sugar". There's one button, "Report a slip", for the days it happened.
Nothing logged means nothing happened
You don't have to confirm every day you didn't smoke. For quit habits, past due days without an entry count as clean, starting on the day you created the habit. You only open the app when something did happen.
Today counts as on track as long as you're within the limit. It only adds to your streak once the day is over, but going over the limit breaks it right away. Freeze days apply here too: a 7-day run under the limit earns one.
What a slip looks like
The card changes colour from green to yellow when you reach your limit and to coral when you go over it. There's no confetti for counting up and no red warning, just a short "tomorrow is a new day". On the habit's page the heatmap is inverted, so the calm days under your limit are the ones that light up.
Templates to start from
- Less coffee: at most 2 cups a day
- Smoke-free: at most 0 cigarettes
- Less screen time: at most 60 minutes of social media
- No sugar: report a slip when it happens
You can change every template or build your own with any unit: cups, minutes, euros, episodes.
Badges for staying away
Quitting has its own badges: one for your first quit habit, one for 7 days in a row under your limit, and three for 7, 30 and 100 days completely free. Reminders for quit habits are optional and only ever encouraging, for example "1 of max. 3 so far, going well". Once you're over the limit, Loopi stays quiet.
habiloop is a tracker, not a treatment. If you want to stop smoking, drinking or another addiction, talk to your doctor or a local support service as well.
