Premade Habits

Premade habits are curated templates that provide a quick way to start tracking common habits with sensible defaults already configured.

Browsing the Library

The premade habit library is accessible from the habit creation flow. Each template shows:

• Name and description — what the habit is about
• Category — which area of life it covers
• Default interval and goal — the suggested frequency and target
• Number of users — how many people have adopted this habit
• Author — who created it (Scope team or another user)
• Completion projections — motivational forecasts at different timeframes

Adopting a Premade Habit

When you adopt a template:

1. The template is cloned into your personal habit — you get your own independent copy
2. Default settings (interval, unit, goal) are pre-filled but you can customize them
3. Custom units from the template are copied to your account
4. The template's user count increases

Linked vs Unlinked

After adopting, your habit stays linked to the template by default:

• Template updates (e.g., improved description) are synced to your habit
• Certain fields (like custom units from the template) are locked to prevent divergence

You can unlink at any time to make it fully independent:

• No more template updates
• All fields become fully editable
• Custom units from the template are unlocked for editing
• The link cannot be re-established

Completion Projections

Premade habits include motivational projections showing what consistent effort could achieve over time:

Effort Level	What It Shows
Weak	Minimal, inconsistent effort — what happens if you slack, including risks of falling behind
Ideal	Consistent regular effort — the sweet spot of progress with realistic benefits
Overkill	Excessive effort — warnings about overdoing it and diminishing returns

Projections are shown at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years — each with a projected value and a narrative description of what that level of effort looks like.

Publishing Your Own Habits

You can share your habits with the community by publishing them as premade templates:

1. Open your habit's detail page
2. Choose the publish option
3. Your habit becomes available in the premade library
4. You're listed as the author
5. You can see how many users have adopted it

INFO

To remove a published habit from the library, you can archive it. Users who already adopted it keep their copies (unlinked), but no new users can find it. See Managing Your Habits.
