habstickOne habit, several reminder times
A habit supports more than one reminder time, so a morning routine and an evening check-in can share the same habit without sharing the same nudge.

HABIT REMINDERS · iOS & ANDROID
Habit Reminder App with Local NotificationsReminders that show up on time,
even when your phone is offline.
A reminder only helps if it reaches you while there is still time to act on it. HabStick schedules local notifications on your phone, at the times you choose, with gentle copy that names the habit instead of nagging you in the abstract.

Exact alarmsAndroid 12+ permission, explained in app
A reminder only helps when it lands at the right moment. Send too many and they blur into background noise; send one at the wrong hour and it becomes an interruption instead of a nudge. Most trackers settle this with a single notification time for everything, which is fine until a five-minute morning stretch and an evening journal share the same schedule.
HabStick ties reminders to habits instead. On the New Habit screen, open the Reminder section, switch on Receive notification, and choose a time with the picker—or add several. Each habit keeps its own settings, and the notifications are scheduled locally on the phone: no server push, no account, and they still fire offline. On Android 12 and later, HabStick asks for the Alarms & reminders permission so the notification can arrive at the exact time.
BUILT FOR DAILY CONSISTENCY
Why it feels effortless.
Minimalist design that respects your time and attention.
Scheduled on the phone itself
Reminders are local device notifications. No server push and no account are involved, and a scheduled reminder fires even when the phone is offline.
The permission, explained first
On Android 12 and later, HabStick asks for the Alarms & reminders permission so notifications arrive on time, and explains that declining may delay them by minutes to hours.
Copy that names the habit
The copy rotates through a set of gentle, habit-specific messages—Time to Build a Better You!, Just a Gentle Nudge—and the body names the habit.
WHAT SITS BEHIND EACH NUDGE
Small parts, working together.
Nothing here needs a server, an account, or a signal.
One habit, more than one nudge
A habit supports several reminder times, so one routine can be nudged more than once.
Every habit keeps its own hours
Reminders are edited per habit, so a morning walk and an evening journal never share a schedule by accident.
A switch you can turn off
The Reminder section has a Receive notification toggle, so a habit can stay on your list without buzzing your phone.
Pick the moment, not a window
Reminder times are set with a time picker on the New Habit screen, next to the rest of the habit’s basics.
Scheduled on the phone
Every reminder is a local device notification. No server sits in the middle waiting to wake your phone.
Still on time without a signal
Because scheduling happens on the device, a reminder fires even when the phone has no connection.
A gentle line, then the habit
Messages rotate through gentle, habit-specific copy, and the body of the notification names the habit.
Android 12+ can arrive on the minute
With the Alarms & reminders permission granted, notifications arrive at the exact time; without it, the app falls back to inexact alarms.
HOW IT WORKS
How reminders are set up
One switch, one time—or several. The rest happens on your phone.

Choose a time, or several
Use the picker to set when the reminder should arrive. A habit can carry more than one time, and each habit keeps its own settings.

Can a habit have more than one reminder time?
Yes. The Reminder section supports more than one time per habit, so a single routine can be nudged more than once.
Do reminders work without an internet connection?
Yes. Reminders are local device notifications scheduled on your phone, so they still fire when you are offline. There is no server push and no account involved.
Why does HabStick ask for the Alarms & reminders permission?
On Android 12 and later, HabStick asks for it so notifications arrive at the exact time you chose. The in-app explanation says that without it, notifications may be delayed by several minutes to hours.
What happens if I deny that permission?
HabStick falls back to inexact alarms rather than failing, so your reminders still arrive—just possibly later than the time you set.
What will the notification say?
The copy rotates through gentle, habit-specific messages—among them Time to Build a Better You!, Stay on Track, Just a Gentle Nudge, and It’s Habit Time!—and the body names the habit.
Can different habits have different reminder times?
Yes. Reminders are edited per habit, so a morning habit and an evening habit can run on completely different schedules.
Do I need an account to get reminders?
No. There is no login or account involved—reminders are scheduled locally on your phone rather than sent from a server.
Can I turn off reminders for just one habit?
Yes. Each habit has its own Receive notification toggle, so you can switch off one reminder without changing the others.
