How do I rename Kip?
Give him any name in setup or in Settings. The app uses the name you choose everywhere.
How do the three free questions work?
Everyone gets three free questions with Ask Kip. With Pro, you can ask questions every day, receive Kip’s own replies to check-ins and get a short review of your week. Ask Kip stays off until you agree on the screen that explains what’s sent.
How do I turn Ask Kip off?
Open Settings → Ask Kip, your AI companion. You can turn it off at any time. Ask Kip never sends Apple Health data, habit notes or day notes.
Can I hide Kip?
Yes. Turn off Settings → Show Kip for rings and ticks instead.
What happens after a shift?
Kip asks “How was the shift?”: Good, Long or Rough, with an optional note. After a long or rough shift he offers to quiet reminders until the next shift and, if it’s off, to turn on the Sleep Shield. Nothing changes until you tap.
How do I turn on the Sleep Shield after a long or rough shift?
Choose Long or Rough in the post-shift check-in. If the Sleep Shield is off, Kip offers “Turn on the Sleep Shield”. It only changes when you tap. Ask Kip can also suggest turning it on, with a button you choose to tap.
Do rest days break a streak?
No. Rest days never break a streak. Habits can be for night shifts, day shifts or rest days only, each with its own streak.
What if a shift goes badly, or I need time off?
Answer Long or Rough to "How was the shift?" and that shift-day can't break a streak. Going away? Settings → Take a Break pauses reminders and keeps your streaks safe until you're back.
Why does a 3 AM check-off belong to the previous day?
Your day rolls over when your shift does. A 3 AM check-off counts for the night you’re still working. You choose your rollover hour during setup.
Where are my backups?
Open Settings → Backups. ShiftHabit backs up your habits and their history once each day you use it. You can turn this off or back up now. Backups stay in Files → On My iPhone → ShiftHabit → Backups, and the newest ten are kept. On an iPad they're under On My iPad. You can also export your check-offs as a CSV file from Settings → Backups → Export as CSV.
Is iCloud sync optional?
Yes. iCloud sync is off until you turn it on in Settings. It syncs through your own iCloud account. The app privacy policy explains which information syncs.
Is ShiftHabit free?
ShiftHabit is free to download from the App Store. Pro features are optional in-app purchases. Check the app for available plans, local pricing and trial eligibility. TestFlight test purchases are separate from App Store purchases.
Which devices and languages are supported?
