You can use Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers — just export as .csv or .txt.

→

Habit names must match exactly: 'Workout' and 'workout' both work, but 'Work out' won't match 'Workout'.

→

If a date + habit already exists, the import updates the existing value — not duplicates it.

→

You can mix multiple habits in one file.

The app auto-detects whether you're importing a backup (has #HABITS section) or just log entries. One import button handles both.

Pre-built Habits

The app comes with 9 default habits ready to track:

Habit	Unit	Daily Target
Sleep	hours	8
Workout	minutes	45
Meditation	minutes	15
Running	km	5
Calories	kcal	2000
Water	liters	2.5
Reading	pages	25
Biking	km	10
Intervals	sprints	6

→

You can also create unlimited custom habits with your own name, unit, icon, color, and schedule.

Daily Reminders

MyHabitStats can send you two daily notifications:

→

Morning Reminder — a summary of your scheduled habits for the day. Default: 9:00 AM.

→

Evening Nudge — a gentle reminder to log any habits you missed. Default: 9:00 PM.

Both are customizable in Settings → Notifications. Messages rotate daily with motivational text.

Track Pace & Speed

For habits like Running and Biking, enable "Track time" in the habit settings to log both distance and time. The app auto-calculates:

→

Running → Pace (min/km) — e.g. 7 km in 38 min = 5:25 min/km

→

Biking → Speed (km/h) — e.g. 10 km in 30 min = 20.0 km/h

In the Charts tab, switch between Distance, Pace/Speed, or Both views.

How Streaks Work

→

Logging a value of 0 doesn't count — you must actually do the habit.

→

Your value must meet the target — 2 hours of sleep (target: 8) won't count.

→

Streaks respect your schedule — if you work out Mon/Wed/Fri and hit all three, that's a 3-day streak. Tuesday and Thursday don't break it.
