Signing in and passwords
You can sign in with an email address and password, or with Google. If you signed up with an email address and have forgotten your password, choose “Forgot your password?” on the sign-in screen and a reset link will be emailed to you.
If you are already signed in, you can change your password at any time in Settings. If a confirmation or reset email does not arrive, check your spam folder before trying again.
What the bead colours mean
- Green — Habit fully completed
- Orange — Partially completed
- Red — Habit not completed
- Grey — Planned rest day
A day you simply have not recorded shows as a dashed ring, not a red bead. Nothing is ever marked as missed on your behalf. Grey rest days are left out of your green completion percentage, so planning a rest day does not count against you.
Habit Beads has no streaks. A red bead resets nothing — it stays on the string as part of an honest record.
Free and Plus
The Free plan gives you one active string at a time, up to 30 days long, and keeps every finished string in History for as long as you have an account.
Habit Beads Plus adds unlimited active strings, strings of any length, and weekly and monthly progress strings that roll your daily beads up so you can see the longer view. Plus is not yet purchasable — you can read about it on the Plus page.
Finishing or archiving your current string frees your Free slot straight away, so you can start a new one.
Deleting your account
Settings has a Delete account button. You will be asked to confirm by typing DELETE, because deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
Deleting removes your profile, every habit string, every bead and note, and your analytics events, and then deletes the sign-in account itself. Afterwards the same email address can be used to create a fresh account.
