Frequently Asked Questions
What is a habit tracker calendar maker?
A habit tracker calendar maker is a tool that turns daily habit data into a color-coded calendar heatmap. Each day is shown as a cell, with darker colors indicating higher completion or value. It makes it easy to see streaks, gaps, and overall consistency at a glance — similar to the GitHub contributions graph but for personal habits.
How do I use this calendar heatmap maker?
Enter your habit dates and daily values in the config panel — you can type entries one by one, paste a bulk list in date-value format, or use AI to generate sample data. Then pick a color palette, adjust the cell style, and export your heatmap.
What data format does the habit tracker calendar accept?
Each entry needs a date in YYYY-MM-DD format and a numeric value representing your habit score, count, or rating for that day. You can paste multiple entries at once using the bulk input option — one entry per line, formatted as date, value.
Can I track a daily habit calendar with completion scores?
Yes. Add an entry for each day with a value — for example 1 for done/not done, or a score from 1 to 10 for effort level. The calendar heatmap will highlight your streaks automatically and show gaps where days were missed.
What color palettes are available for the habit heatmap?
You can choose from green (classic GitHub-style), blue (calm wellness tone), orange, purple, or red. Each palette scales from light for low values to dark for high values, making intensity immediately readable.
