Common questions

• How do I log a habit? Press and hold its stone until the ring fills. Each hold is one unit. Tap the stone to flip it to the streak and the calendar. Logged the wrong one? Undo appears for a few seconds, and the habit's menu has Remove last.
• I did it last night but forgot to log it. The habit's menu has Log for yesterday while yesterday is still open, and so does its reminder the next morning. Logs made in the first hours after midnight can also ask whether they were for today or yesterday.
• My day ends after midnight. Settings, Day starts at: choose up to 4 AM and a late night still counts for the day before.
• How do Health habits work? A habit linked to Health (steps, water, mindful minutes, sleep and more) counts itself from the Health app on your device. Cairn asks only for the one type a habit needs, when you save it. Water, caffeine and mindful minutes you log in Cairn are also written to Health, and Undo removes them.
• Going away? Settings, Vacation pauses every habit, and streaks carry on when you are back. One habit can be paused from its editor.
• How does iCloud sync work? With iCloud on, your habits and every log go to your own private iCloud storage and on to your other devices. Logs are only ever added, so a device that was offline never overwrites anything, and a deleted habit stays deleted. For Health habits only whether each day was done is synced, never a Health value.
• How do I keep a copy of my data? Cairn keeps a backup every day on your device, the last 14. Settings, Backups and export saves a complete JSON file you can import again, or a CSV file of every log for a spreadsheet. Restoring only ever adds what is missing.
• My reminders stopped. iOS allows 64 waiting notifications, so Cairn plans a few weeks ahead and tops the list up whenever it runs. Settings, Reminders shows how far ahead they are planned.
• What is Cairn Unlock? One purchase, never a subscription, shared with your family: four pages (24 habits), every widget including the Lock Screen, stats for 90 days, the year and all time, and every palette. One page of six habits is free, with every kind of habit and every rule. Your data, sync, backups and export are never part of it. Bought it already? Settings, Restore purchase.

Privacy

The short version: no account, no ads, and the app never asks to track you. Your Health data stays on your device. Your habits go only to your own iCloud, if you use it. Cairn counts which screens and buttons are used and reports crashes, never with your habits or any Health value. The full privacy policy has the detail.
