Moving from Habitica to HabitSync

You can bring your history with you. Export it, map your columns once, and every day you logged comes across dated as the day you logged it. It is free and takes about a minute.

What Habitica is good at

The game layer is genuinely motivating if that is how you work, and the community around it is real.

The quest and party layer is the whole product, so when the game stops being fun the tracking goes with it. There is also no health context: no medications, no weight, nothing connecting one habit to another.

Getting your data out

  1. Open Habitica on the web and go to your user icon, then Data.
  2. Look for the option to export your history as CSV. Habitica also offers a full JSON export, which this importer does not read.
  3. Save the CSV somewhere you can find it on the device you will import from.

Export menus move around. If these steps do not match what you see, look for anything that says export, backup or download, and pick the CSV.

Bringing it in

  1. Make a free account. No card, and the import works on the free plan.
  2. Go to Profile, then Account, and choose Import from a spreadsheet or another app.
  3. Upload the file, or paste the rows straight in.
  4. Check what each column is. We guess, you correct anything wrong.
  5. Look at the summary of what is about to be added, then bring it in.

What comes across

Your habit history, day by day, as far back as the export goes. Each habit becomes a HabitSync habit dated from its earliest entry rather than from today.

What does not

Habitica's history export covers recent days in full and thins out for older months, so an import can be sparser further back than your account actually is. Avatars, gold, party membership and quest progress have no equivalent here and do not come across.

And you can leave too

The export sits next to the import, on the same free plan. Everything you log comes back out as a CSV whenever you want it, including your medication history. That is the whole reason this page can exist: nobody should be stuck somewhere because their record is.
