## What is HipHabit?

HipHabit ties screen time controls to the completion of daily goals. Limit time on distracting apps until you get out of bed, fall asleep, exercise, and more. Start building healthy habits with three simple steps:

· Set goals - Everyone will have Sleep and Move goals. If you have an Apple Watch, you'll have an Exercise goal as well.
· List bad habits - List discouraged activities so that we can set app limits for them whenever you should be focused on your goals instead.
· Earn rewards - Whenever you meet all daily goals, you'll earn a reward that allows you to temporarily skip some goals.


Through setting app limits, HipHabit can prompt you to complete a variety of goals:

· Get out of bed
· Move
· Exercise
· Go to sleep
· Take a break
· Meditate
· Journal
· Study
· Track medication
· Track your diet


HipHabit implements several subtle behaviors that motivate you to stick to your goals:

· Getting you out of bed - Do you doomscroll in bed before starting your day? We'll bug you to get off your phone until you literally get out of bed.
· Overcoming laziness - Whenever you've been lying down and on your phone for too long, we'll remind you to stop before making you take a short break.
· Adding friends - Recruit an accountability buddy to help you stick to your goals. Friends receive emails anytime you share achievements or disable the app.
· A gentle strategy - HipHabit can be repeatedly paused, but each pause requires an incrementally longer waiting period (up to 30 minutes).
· Anti-cheating measures - Exercise-related goals can't be changed midday. If enabled, HipHabit can prevent itself from being removed.
· App-base goals - HipHabit can check if you've opened assigned apps to encourage a variety of habits like meditation and food tracking.


We first built HipHabit to help ourselves, and we hope it will help you too. Use the app if you’d like to:

· Improve your sleep hygiene - We'll help you stick to a bedtime routine and stay off your phone until you get out of bed in the morning.
· Push yourself to exercise - Screen time limits are set based on time of day and how much progress you've made towards completing your Apple Fitness goals.
· Reward yourself with breaks - Take a break from daily routine with a reward such as a "cheat day" or a "late morning start".

### 5/5 — Helps me stay focused

*2024-07-09*

I love how the app helps me set goals to stay off my phone. I didn’t realize this but it uses the phone’s gyroscope to see when you’ve been couch-potatoing/doom scrolling and kick you off tik tok. It also uses the phone’s step counter to get me out of bed. It uses a lot of creative methods to help me stay off of social media and more focused on the tasks at hand.
