Tell the kinds of group apart
Each group is one schedule of a habit. Its colour sits in the corner of the habit's cards.
| Group | How you add it, and when it repeats |
|---|---|
| Default group | Made with the habit by Create habit. It repeats on the habit's Recurrence. |
| Group 1 and later | Alt and drag from the Habits list, or Create new group. Each repeats on its own Recurrence, from the day you add it. |
| One-off | A plain drag from the Habits list: Schedule habit. One day only. The app calls it an Individual habit. |
Groups take the next number and keep it. They have no name to edit, and each one belongs to its habit. Creating the habit itself is in Habits and streaks.
See what happens when you change or delete
Your completions, coins and logged time never change. The schedule around them can.
| If you | Then |
|---|---|
| Change a group's time | That day and later days move. Earlier days keep their time. |
| Change the Default group's days | Every day follows the new days, earlier days too. Past days in the schedule, the heatmap and the streak in Analytics follow them. |
| Change a reward, tracking, checklist or tags | The value starts that day and becomes the habit's default. Earlier days without a value of their own show it. |
| Rename the habit or change its topic | Every day shows the change, in Analytics too. |
| Delete one day | Only that day goes. A completed day also leaves Analytics, and its coins stay. |
| Delete Group 1 or a later group | Its coming days go and its completed days stay. The habit, its other groups and its streak carry on. |
| Delete the Default group | The habit and all its groups go, and it leaves the Habits list. Completed days stay in the schedule and in Analytics. |
| Delete by mistake | Press CtrlZCmdZ. Later, a new habit with the same title in the same topic brings the old one back, with its history. |
| Look for pause or archive | Dabadoro has neither. |
Add a group to a habit
A group starts on the day you drop it. Past days take no new groups.
Hold Alt and drag the habit
Drag it from the Habits list into the hour you want. Create new group opens.
Set its time and recurrence
Then press Create new group.
Create new group in the habit's menu in the Habits list does the same on the day shown.
A plain drag opens Schedule habit instead: a one-off on that day only, even a day the habit is not scheduled on.
Change a whole group
Hold Alt and choose Edit on one of its cards. The change starts on that card's day.
| What you change | Before 21 Oct | From 21 Oct |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Unchanged | New |
| Reward, tracking, checklist and tags | New, unless set for that day | New |
| Days it repeats (Recurrence) | New on every day | |
| Days you moved or deleted one at a time | Unchanged | Back to the group |
- The switch at the top of Edit habit picks Single, that day, or Group.
- Only the Default group's Recurrence can change. Other groups keep the days they started with.
- Title and topic belong to the habit: choose Edit habit in its menu in the Habits list.
hold Alt and drag one of its cards.
Earlier days keep their time.
Delete a day or a group
On a Default group card, and in the Habits list, Delete asks which group.
| Do this | It deletes |
|---|---|
| Delete on a card of Group 1, a later group or a one-off | That day |
| Hold Alt and choose Delete on one of those cards | Its whole group, after Delete entire group? |
| Delete on a Default group card, or Choose group to delete in the Habits list | The group you pick. Delete all groups deletes the habit. |
| Hold the × on a completed or past card | That day |
In the picker, the Group individual row deletes every one-off of the habit. To log a missed day instead of deleting it, use Complete activity.
