Common questions
How do I report a bug or send feedback?
Open Settings → Help & feedback in Abby Habits, then choose Report a bug or Send feedback. Describe what happened and what you expected; for a bug, choose how often it happens. You can choose whether to include the app version and build, iOS version, device type and language details. These technical details are included unless you switch them off before sending. The form does not automatically include your habits, notes or Apple Health data. Nothing is sent until you tap Send. Keep the reference shown afterwards if you want to follow up. You do not need an active Pro plan to send a report.
Can I get a reply to an in-app report?
The in-app forms do not ask for your name or email and cannot receive replies. If you need an answer, email paul@paulcalver.com. Include your report reference if you have already sent one. Please leave sensitive personal information out of reports.
Which devices can I use?
Abby Habits is for iPhone and requires iOS 26 or later. It includes an Apple Watch app for watchOS 26 or later, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Control Center controls and Siri.
How do I check in?
Press and hold a habit until it fills. Let go early and nothing is logged. To undo, hold a finished habit again. You can change how long the hold takes in Settings. With VoiceOver, double-tap the habit; no hold is needed.
What happens if I miss a day?
The rest allowance is one day in any rolling seven days by default, adjustable in Settings under Habits. Missed days within that allowance count as rest and keep your current run going. Beyond the allowance, a run can end; earlier check-ins stay in your history. If you did a habit and forgot to check in, you can log that earlier day from its page.
How do quit habits count, and how do I log a slip?
A quit habit counts days or nights without it. Its page explains when the count moves. Tap Log a slip and choose the day; before you save, the sheet explains whether the count keeps going or starts again. Slips use your allowance over any rolling seven days. Earlier check-ins stay in your history. How quitting works explains the rules and links to the rest-days setting.
Can I share quit progress without naming the habit?
Yes. Open the share button on the quit habit’s page and choose whether to include its name. A private habit starts with its name hidden. The card does not include your plan, notes or slip dates. Review the card before you share it.
What is a rough day?
Tap Rough day? under the date on Today and every habit drops to its smallest version, its minimum, for the rest of that day. A minimum counts as done and keeps your days in a row going. Tap it again to go back to full goals.
How does Apple Health work with Abby Habits?
Apple Health is optional and read-only. It can fill steps, time in daylight, exercise minutes, mindful minutes, running and strength workouts for the habits you choose. Time in daylight and exercise minutes need an Apple Watch. Settings → Apple Health explains what Abby can read, what it fills in and how to change access. Raw Health values are read fresh and never saved; only whether a habit’s goal was met can sync through private iCloud. Permissions are managed in the Health app.
A habit isn’t filling from Apple Health.
Check that the reading appears in the Health app and that Abby Habits has permission to read it. Watch readings can take a little while to reach your iPhone. Abby reads Health again when you open it or pull down on Today. Steps uses Health when connected; if you declined Health during onboarding, the Steps starter can be logged by hand. Other supported habits can still be held or logged manually. Morning sunlight and exercise minutes need a Watch to fill from Health.
How do I sync between my devices?
Abby Habits syncs through your own private iCloud. Sign in to iCloud on each device with the same Apple Account, and make sure iCloud is allowed for Abby Habits in Settings, under your name, then iCloud. In Abby Habits, Settings under Your data shows whether iCloud sync is on.
I have a new iPhone, or I reinstalled the app.
Sign in to iCloud with the same Apple Account and open Abby Habits. The welcome flow looks for your habits in iCloud. Tap Restore on the paywall to restore Pro using the Apple Account you bought with; access does not unlock just by opening the paywall. Without iCloud, you can bring back a file you exported from Settings → Your data → Import from a file, once you have access.
How do reminders work?
Reminders are off until you turn one on for a habit. By default you get at most one notification a day; you can allow up to three in Settings. There are none on a rough day or for habits already done. A reminder you haven’t answered for five days pauses itself, and the habit’s page asks whether to turn it back on.
What does Abby Habits Pro include, and how do I cancel?
Abby Habits Pro includes all features and unlimited habits. Current plans, prices and any free trial are shown in the App Store and in the app before you buy. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. If Pro ends, existing habits and history remain readable.
How do I restore a purchase or ask for a refund?
Tap Restore on the paywall, or Restore purchases in Settings, using the Apple Account you bought with. Pro starts only after a purchase or a Restore tap; the paywall does not close by itself. Apple handles payments and refunds; request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Are my habits backed up?
Yes. Each day Abby Habits keeps a copy inside the app on your iPhone, the last seven at most. Settings, then Your data, then Backups lists them and can restore one. To keep a copy somewhere else, use Export your data.
What does private mean for a habit I’m quitting?
A private habit shows only inside Abby Habits. It’s kept off the Apple Watch, widgets, Control Center and Siri. It still syncs through your private iCloud and is included in backups and exports.
Is Abby Habits a treatment for addiction or a medical device?
No. Abby Habits is a habit tracker for everyday wellbeing. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. The quitting guide links to support services where you are. If you are worried about your health or your use of alcohol, gambling or another substance, speak to a doctor or a support service. Stopping drinking suddenly can be dangerous if you drink heavily; get medical advice first. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
How do I delete my data?
Delete any habit from its page, or let it go for now with Archive. To remove everything, delete the app, then delete its iCloud data: in Settings, tap your name, then iCloud, then manage storage, and choose Abby Habits. Copies you exported yourself are not deleted. Deleting the app does not remove feedback, support, purchase or analytics records held separately. To request deletion of a report, email paul@paulcalver.com with its reference. The privacy policy explains retention and deletion.
Still need help?
If you already sent an in-app report, include its reference. Include your iPhone model, iOS version, the Abby Habits version and build number, what you were doing and any message you saw. You’ll find the version in Settings under About. For a sync or Apple Health problem, mention the devices involved and the date affected.
Please don’t send notes, health details or an export of your habits unless you choose to share them for a specific question. Review screenshots and files before sending.
