- The App Store listing is marked only for iPhone; no iPad, Mac, Android or web version is listed.
- The free version stops at three habits, and the passcode or Touch ID lock and dark mode are part of Premium.
- The App Store lists Upgrade to Premium at $4.99 without a billing period, so the listing does not say whether it is a one-time unlock.
- The current version requires iOS 18.6 or later, and neither the site nor the listing mentions sync between devices.
