Gentle

How do I add a new habit?

Tap the + button in the top right corner of the home screen. Give your habit a name, choose an icon, and you're ready to go!

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing bad! Gentle doesn't punish you for missing days. Your progress is cumulative, not consecutive. Missing a day doesn't reset anything - life happens, and that's okay.

How do I check in for the day?

Tap the "Daily Check-in" button at the bottom of the home screen, or simply tap on any habit to toggle it complete for today.

Can I edit past days?

Yes! In the Daily Check-in screen, tap the date at the top to select a different day. You can mark habits complete or incomplete for any past date.

How do daily notifications work?

Gentle sends one gentle reminder per day at your chosen time (default 9 PM). You can customize the time or turn notifications off entirely in Settings. We never nag or send follow-ups.

What is the Garden?

The Garden shows your habits as growing plants. The more you complete a habit, the more it grows - from a seed to a seedling to a flower to a tree. It's a gentle visual of your progress over time.

How do monthly reports work?

Go to Settings and tap "View Monthly Report" to see insights about your habits. You can share the report as an image or save it to your photos.

Is my data backed up?

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, your Gentle data automatically syncs to your personal iCloud account. This also lets you access your habits on other Apple devices signed into the same account.

How do I delete a habit?

Go to Settings → Manage Habits. Swipe left on any habit to archive it. Archived habits keep their history but won't appear in your daily check-ins. You can restore or permanently delete archived habits from Settings → Archived Habits.

Can I change the app's theme?

Yes! Go to Settings and choose from 5 beautiful color themes: Lavender Dream, Ocean Breeze, Sunset Glow, Forest Calm, or Minimalist.
