Make Journal a Better Habit & Streak Tracker
planned (soon)
Daniel
Tracking my habits and streaks is highly motivating. It would be amazing to extend the Journal functionality to give a better overview of how each habit performed over time.
Some ideas:
- Track and display the streak of each habit
- Allow seeing a year/month overview of each habit, similar to the Bevel fitness activity history or the GitHub activity graph, to easily see when and how often I succeeded or failed. Also show a summary in numbers, like "succeeded on x days, failed on x days over the last month"
- Allow setting success notifications for successful streaks
- Add a second view of the journal page, where the focus is on the streaks, displaying the streak for each habit, instead of the calendar and the ability to check or uncheck the habit for this day. Allow making it the default screen on the Journal page
- Add a streak widget

Workout streaks

I would like a workout streak feature in which I can see how many days I’ve been working out (maybe with a 2/3 day windows for resting, or longer which the end user can just set themselves).
It helps me seeing the number go up as it’s like a game mechanic which gives my brain dopamine. Nothing spectacular, but it’s nice to see that counter to up when you did something right!
Bonus: also make a counter for hitting steps or other cool things in the journal!

I am loving Bevel! One thing that I would like to suggest improvement is how journal data is used. Every day an input my data on journal, but it is difficult to make use of it… Example: I would like to know how often each habit is marked. How many times a week I consumed alcohol, how many times a month I had headache, how many time I consumed sugar, etc etc. Like Bevel already does with any other metric, display it in chart form! It would be perfect to see it. Thank you, Bevel is a great app!!!

Tappable diary entries with history, stats and streaks

It would be great if individual diary entry types (medication, water intake, alcohol, etc.) were tappable to open a detail view showing:
- Logging history for that specific entry type
- Basic stats (e.g. daily/weekly averages, totals, trends over time)
- A streak indicator showing how many consecutive days the entry has been logged
I currently use the Streaks app alongside Bevel to track habit consistency. With this feature, Bevel could replace it entirely, since habit-style data (medication, hydration, alcohol abstinence) is already being captured in the diary. Right now that data is essentially write-only — there's no easy way to look back at a single metric over time without scrolling through daily entries.
Thanks!

Improved Habit Tracking

More detailed custom habit creation (ability to set units of measurement, #/week goal, goal plan). And ability to sort them in a certain way. Also a completion percentage ring.

Add a "Fire Streak" feature to gamify daily consistency
H
Heldio Alves
I would love to see a "Fire Streak" feature added to Bevel Health specifically to track consecutive days of hitting our daily Strain target. Gamifying this consistency with a visual streak would be a huge motivator.
For someone who maintains a rigorous routine, like training six days a week, having that visual representation of an unbroken strain streak helps keep the momentum going on days when motivation is low. It would make the app even more engaging and perfectly reward discipline in hitting our daily activity goals!

I was using an app called “Grit” and I feel like with this enhancement, I wouldn’t need that app at all!
Some of the habits in my journal I like to think about are specific to wellness: skincare routine consistency, supplements, etc.

This would be amazing. Similar to other habit trackers like HabitKit, seeing a graph of the amount of times you completed a habit over the last week/month/year. And seeing the correlation between that and your recovery/stress/sleep scores would make this genuinely the only app you need for health and fitness. I use the journal to track my long-term shoulder injury and how often I experience pain, but I can’t see a summary of how many times that happens, just its impact on my score. I know it worsens my recovery and sleep score, but I need to know if I’m healing.

Journal also needs health integration, for example auto marking the days when the user reached their target protein goal configured in journal. It has a lot of potential

I'm thinking a section for “habits” z.B. Hobbies, fasting, etc. would be a good addition to find out how they affect our wellbeing throughout the day.
