Try it in Mement
- Create or edit a Habit and open Checklist. Add the actions in the order you want to follow them.
- Add any reference files, photos or web links in Attachments, inspect their previews, and save the Habit.
- Open the Habit from Today or the Habits tab. Mark each checklist action as you finish it.
- When every action is checked, choose Check in or Log progress and confirm the Habit’s result. Open history to check the saved entry.
Work through a routine, then record its result
For a plant-care Habit, a checklist might read “Check the soil”, “Water the plants that need it” and “Empty the trays”. The Habit can keep a photo of the plants or a care guide beside these steps. This is an illustrative setup; choose steps and a tracking type that match your own routine.
Each action has a title and a checkmark. It does not have its own due date, priority or recurrence, and it does not become a separate Task. Use a Task when an action needs independent planning; use the checklist when it is part of the Habit’s repeated procedure.
Checking the last action enables the final Check in or Log progress action. It does not save Habit progress by itself. For a check-in Habit, confirm that you practised. For a measured Habit, enter the amount you actually completed. For example, a completed preparation checklist does not establish how many minutes you exercised.
Checkmarks last for the Habit’s current goal period: a day, calendar week or calendar month in its saved time zone. A daily routine starts unchecked next day; a weekly checklist resets next week. Editing preserves current-period marks for actions you keep. A newly added action starts unchecked.
In “Schedule”, set the start date, recurrence, reminder times and notification/privacy options. Turning off custom times keeps the selected preferences. Add and edit checklist actions in “How will you track it?”; “Attach” holds files, photos, links and a place. Tracking and notes expand smoothly, with an immediate layout when Reduce Motion is enabled.
Add reference material you will use
Attachments can be files, photos or HTTP/HTTPS links. Choose a file or photo with the system picker, or enter a web link. You can attach up to 12 items; each file or photo must be no larger than 25 MB. Review the selected material before saving, and remove anything you added by mistake.
From Habit details, tap an attachment to open it inside Mement using the browser or Quick Look. A photo can show a target posture, a file can contain a practice plan, and a link can open the instructions you follow. Formats without a content thumbnail still show their file type.
Tasks, Lists, Projects, Areas and Habits support files, photos and links. In item editors, Attach becomes Attached with previews; removal sits beside each row. Location is below the materials, with a small map and an optional full-screen view. Open materials from the editor or the record’s details. In “Attach”, tap “Arrive” or “Leave” in the location reminder title to choose when to be notified. “Arrive” is selected by default. Save keeps that choice; notification and location permissions still apply.
Use the same checklist from other entry points
A Habit row shows checklist progress as completed actions out of the total. Its tracking action opens a focused checklist view. A widget brings you into Mement to finish the checklist before logging, instead of silently recording a completed routine.
Shortcuts can mark individual checklist actions, but final Habit progress still needs confirmation after every action is complete. Finishing a Habit Session also opens the checklist before check-in or numeric logging. Stop Session ends the timer without recording Habit progress.
Checklist actions are unavailable while the Habit is paused, archived, not yet started, not scheduled that day or intentionally skipped. Check the Habit’s status and schedule if the actions cannot be changed. Analytics uses the confirmed Habit entries, so checked actions alone do not raise consistency.
Before you finish
- Open the checklist and confirm its actions are in a useful order.
- Complete a routine and confirm its final Habit entry appears in history.
- Open an attachment from Habit details to check that it contains the material you intended.
