Build version: v3.0.0Everything Habit generates comes from your check-in answers. But sometimes the sentence you most need to keep is one you write yourself. That is what notes are for.
On your journal, tap New note next to the New check-in button. Write whatever you want, then save. The note appears in your journal list alongside your check-ins, with its own date, and you can tap it any time to edit or delete it.
Notes support Markdown: bold, italics, headings, lists, and links all render as formatted text in your journal.
Many people never write a note and let the insight map speak for itself. Others use notes to capture a feeling, a memory, or a sentence they do not want to forget. Both are fine.
What you write in a note is stored in your personal journal and appears only to you. It is not used to generate insights, prompts, or any other content. It is not fed back into the AI. It is not shared, summarized, or displayed anywhere else.
