Frequently Asked Questions

How do I delete items?

Swipe left on any item to reveal the delete option. You'll be asked to confirm before the item is permanently deleted.

Is my data backed up?

Habitatly stores all data locally on your device. Your data is included in your device's iCloud or iTunes backup. If you delete the app or reset your device without a backup, your data will be lost.

Can I sync between devices?

Currently, Habitatly does not support cloud sync. Each device maintains its own local data. This ensures maximum privacy and offline functionality.

How do I share my shopping list?

Open your shopping list, tap the menu button (•••), and select "Share List". You can then send it via Messages, Email, or any other sharing method.

How do I use the WiFi QR code?

Add your WiFi credentials in the WiFi Share feature. A QR code will be generated automatically. Guests can scan it with their camera app to connect instantly.

Can I customize categories?

Yes! When adding items to your shopping list or inventory, you can type any category name. The app will remember your custom categories.

How do I enable dark mode?

Tap the moon/sun icon in the top right of the home screen to toggle between light and dark modes.

Does Habitatly require internet?

No! Habitatly works completely offline. All features are available without an internet connection.

No subscriptions! Habitatly is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and use it forever with all features included.
