When to Expect It: Starting between September 23rd–30th, 2026, all Vida members on iOS and Android will see a fresh, easy way to set up and track daily habits—designed alongside health experts to support your personalized care plan.
How the Guided Setup Works
Instead of building goals from a blank page, your app will walk you through a step-by-step process to create a routine that fits seamlessly into your day.
1. Ideas Tailored to You
When you start, you’ll see personalized starter recommendations curated specifically for your health program:
Fast track: Tap Customize this one to skip right to adjusting your schedule and reminders (Step 5).
Build from scratch: Tap Write my own instead to guide yourself through selecting a focus area, action, and timing.
2. Pick a Focus Area
If you choose to build your own habit, start by choosing where you want to focus: Movement, Nutrition, Sleep, Stress, or Tracking. Selecting an area unlocks expert-backed ideas tailored to that specific part of your care.
3. Choose Your Action ("What")
Next, select a small, realistic action you can stick with—like going for a walk or stretching. You can tap one of the suggested actions or select + Something else to write your own custom action.
4. Anchor Your Routine ("When")
To help a new habit stick, anchor it to something you already do every day. Choose a routine cue—like "When I wake up" or "After a meal"—or set a custom cue that aligns with your day.
5. Adjust Your Details & Reminders
Whether you customized a recommended habit or built your own, this final screen lets you fine-tune the specifics. Select how often you want to complete the habit, set your daily goal target, and set multiple daily reminders so your goals stay top of mind.
Focusing on Sustainable Progress
To support long-term consistency over temporary perfection, daily streak counters have been updated. You can view your overall progress anytime by tapping into a habit's details to review your lifetime log history, start date, and interactive calendar.
What Stays the Same?
Home Access: View and check off habits directly from your Home screen just like you do today.
Simple Logging: Tracking a completed habit takes the exact same quick tap.
Calendar Views: Review past logs anytime, now with an added toggle between Weekly and Monthly views.
