Habits - Small Steps, Big Change

Build daily, weekly or X-times-a-week habits in the Rio mobile app. Create one with +, check in each day, and watch your streak grow.

Tasks end. Habits repeat. The Habits tab is where the person you're becoming gets a little better every day.

The page keeps today's score up top - 0 of 2 done today - and every habit below with its week. Three kinds of circles mark them: every day habits, habits pinned to a specific day (the dashed circle), and X times a week habits with a −/+ counter.

Every Day or Every Week - Your Rhythm

One page, two rhythms - the HOW OFTEN toggle decides:

  • Every day - pick the days it repeats on, flip the reminder on, and the line below sums it up: "Go to gym, every day, reminder at 8:00 PM."
  • Every week - set how many times in a week (3 here), optionally what counts as one - times, pages, minutes - and the reminder follows: "3 times in a week, any days."

The Weekly Counter - Your Own Pace

Weekly habits bend to real life: choose 3 times a week and any three days count. After each session, tap + to add one - or − to take one back. The moment the count hits the target, the habit earns its green check: 3 of 3 this week - done.

Watch Your Streak Grow

Every habit keeps score:

  • Streak - consecutive scheduled days you kept it
  • Best - your all-time record
  • Kept - total times you've shown up

Below the numbers, a colour-coded grid maps your last 365 days: green for kept, grey for missed, empty for not scheduled. Tap a past day to mark or unmark it - and Rio plays fair, a weekday habit isn't broken by a Saturday.

In the screenshot, a habit's month is laid out - 3 day streak, Best 3, days kept in green and missed in red, one tap to fix a past day.

Or Just Tell Rio

Starting a routine is one sentence away:

  • "Track reading every weekday."
  • "Add a habit: drink 8 glasses of water daily."
  • "Remind me to meditate every morning at 7."

Rio builds the habit, sets the schedule, and keeps count.

Tip

Start smaller than feels worth it. "Read 20 minutes" sticks; "read 2 hours" dies by Thursday. Streaks reward showing up - not heroics.
