Question 1

Is RoutineCanvas really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Track up to 5 habits completely free with Yes/No tracking, streaks, heatmaps, home screen widgets, reminders, and local backups. No ads, no account required. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited habits, number & duration tracking, cloud sync, advanced statistics, and Siri Shortcuts.

Question 2

How is RoutineCanvas different from other habit trackers?

Accepted Answer

RoutineCanvas combines beautiful heatmap visualizations with three flexible tracking types, interval-based streaks (daily, weekly, monthly), and true privacy-first cloud sync via iCloud or Google Drive. Plus features like pause/break for vacations, bad habit tracking, CSV export, and Siri Shortcuts — all without ads or data collection.

Question 3

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All data is stored locally on your device by default with automatic local backups. Cloud backup via iCloud or Google Drive is completely optional. Your data is always accessible, even without an internet connection.

Question 4

How does cloud backup work?

Accepted Answer

With Pro, back up your habits to iCloud (Apple) or Google Drive. Your data goes directly to your personal cloud storage — never our servers. Restore your data on any device from your backup history. You can optionally enable end-to-end encryption with a personal passphrase for maximum security. On Android, automatic daily backups are included.

Question 5

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

100%. We have no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Your data lives on your device and optionally in your personal iCloud or Google Drive with optional end-to-end encryption. We literally cannot see your data even if we wanted to.

Question 6

Can I export my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro users can export all habit data to CSV anytime. You can also create manual JSON backups, browse your backup history, and restore from any previous version. Your data is always yours.
