Health: Count routines

Some habits you don't just tick off – you build them up over the day instead: 100 press-ups, 8 glasses of water, 30 minutes of reading. That's what count routines are for – you set a daily target and log your amounts whenever you manage some. patchio keeps count and shows you the progress.

Adding one

Add a routine as usual and set the Type switch to Counting. Then fill in three fields:

• Daily target – the amount you want to reach per day (e.g. 100).
• Unit – how you're counting: times, glasses, minutes, pages… just start typing, a few suggestions are ready, but you can write any unit you like (say, “press-ups”).
• Step size – how much the quick button logs at once (default 1).

Everything else – rhythm, time of day, who it's for, visibility – works exactly like a normal routine.

Want to turn a count routine back into a simple tick-off routine later? Switch the toggle back to Tick off. The target and unit disappear, but the amounts you've already logged stay in your insights.

Logging on the Today tab

On Today, a count routine shows your progress instead of a checkbox, e.g. “30 / 100 press-ups”, with a bar underneath. You log it like this:

• Quick button “+ step size” – a tap logs the set amount right away.
• Other amount… – for anything that doesn't match the step size, type the exact number and log it.
• Undo (⟲) – takes back your last entry of the day.

Done from the target onwards

The day only counts as done once your total reaches the target – the row then flips into the done state, and your streak counts the day. Feel free to keep logging beyond the target, too (110 / 100 is perfectly fine). There's no manual tick for count routines – it always comes from your total.

Insights

Under Insights, “Count routines” shows your daily totals as bars over the chosen period, plus your total for the last seven days and your best result. Days under the target appear as partial bars – visible, but not yet done. Your completion rate keeps counting only the days you reached.
