Stasis
Guide
How to get the most from Stasis.
Everything you need to find your rhythm — from your first habit to the small details.
Quick Start
Set up your day in a few taps.
Create your first habit
Tap + on the Today screen. Give it a name and an emoji — Stasis suggests a category as you type. Choose whether you're building a habit or quitting one.
Understand the three rings
Your day is balanced across three parts of you — Health, Mental, and Focus. Close all three and you've lived a balanced day. The rings fill as you log.
Pick a rhythm that fits
Every day, specific days, or a number of times per week. A flexible "times per week" habit appears every day, so you choose when to act.
Log as you go
Tap to check a habit off, add to a count, or start a timer. A quit habit is slip-free by default — only log a slip when it happens.
Set gentle reminders
Add a reminder time to any habit. Stasis sends calm, ever-changing nudges that encourage you — never guilt.
Take it with you
Log from your Apple Watch, and everything syncs privately across your devices with iCloud.
FAQ
Answers to common questions.
What's the difference between the Today tab and the Habits tab?
Today is for living your day — it shows only the habits scheduled for today, with the three rings and your logging controls. Habits is your full library: every habit you've made, scheduled today or not, where you can edit, reorder, group, and archive them.
Why does my "3 times a week" habit show up every day?
A flexible schedule lets you choose which days to act, so the habit appears every day. Acting on it counts toward that day's rings; the weekly target itself is tracked by the habit's rhythm, measured in weeks.
What's the difference between rhythm and streaks?
Stasis measures rhythm, not streaks. Rest is part of the pattern — a quiet day is never a failure, and your best rhythm and full history are always kept.
What do the three rings mean?
Health, Mental, and Focus — three parts of a balanced day. Each ring fills with the habits in its category. Closing all three means you stayed balanced, not that you did the most.
What's the small dot next to a habit's icon?
It's a gentle nudge: a reminder for that habit is still coming later today, and you haven't logged it yet. The dot fades once you check the habit off — or once its last reminder time for the day has passed.
Why didn't my reminder fire?
First, check that notifications are allowed for Stasis. Reminders also stay quiet on days a habit isn't scheduled, and once you've already logged it for the day.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything syncs privately across your own devices with iCloud. No accounts, no tracking, no ads.
What happens with a quit habit?
Quit habits are slip-free by default. You only log a slip when it happens — honest reflection, not failure — and your slip-free streak picks back up the next day.
What's the thin white line inside a ring?
It marks the part of a ring held by your slip-free quit habits. The ring still fills as one full-color arc — staying slip-free counts just as fully as completing a habit — and the soft line simply shows how much of that ring your quit habits cover.
Can I track habits with Apple Health?
Yes. Steps, active energy, exercise minutes, sleep, and water can read from Apple Health automatically. Health-backed habits update on their own and stay read-only in Stasis.
What happens when I archive a habit?
Archiving sets a habit aside without deleting anything — its logs, slips, and rhythm are all kept. It leaves Today, the rings, and your stats, and any reminders stop right away. Reactivate it anytime to pick up where you left off.
