Frequently asked questions
Everything you might wonder before trying Persi. Missing something? Write to us at contact@persihabits.app.
You start it with your Apple ID and get 7 days with everything unlocked. No card, no charge, and the trial never turns into a payment on its own. In the last 2 days, we'll let you know how many you have left.
If you liked it, buy it once and it's yours forever. If not, the app is paused: your habits aren't deleted and you can export them any time.
No. You pay once and get every update, with no monthly fees.
No. Open the app and start. Persi has no login and no server of its own: your habits are stored on your devices and synced with your private iCloud.
No. The days between the end of the trial and your purchase don't count: they neither add up nor break anything. Your streak picks up where you left it.
Every habit has some slack: daily habits can miss up to 3 days in a row without breaking the streak, and weekly, monthly or yearly ones forgive one period. If you prefer, make it strict.
Pause a habit for as long as you need, or turn on vacation mode to pause them all. While it lasts, reminders stay quiet and those days don't count: your streak doesn't break. And if you still do it one day, it counts.
On your devices and in your private iCloud. We have no access to it. If you switch devices or reinstall the app, it comes right back.
Only anonymous usage metrics, like “a habit was created” or “logged from a widget”. Never habit names or logs. You can turn them off in Settings › Data › “Share anonymous usage”.
Yes. For habits you measure in minutes, one tap starts a timed session. Follow it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, pause or end it right there, and the minutes you did are logged. When you reach your goal it lets you know, and keeps counting if you want to go on. You can start one from your Apple Watch too. If you'd rather not see it on the Lock Screen, turn it off in Settings.
iPhone with iOS 26 or later, iPad with iPadOS 26 or later, and Apple Watch with watchOS 26 or later (the watch app installs along with the iPhone app). One purchase covers them all, synced through your iCloud. On iPad and an unfolded iPhone Duo it uses the bigger screen: today's habits next to the whole month. There's no Android version for now.
On the plan screen or in Settings, tap “Redeem code”. The purchase unlocks right away.
