❓ FAQs

Q: Will my data be lost?

A: No. All data is saved in browser's local IndexedDB, not uploaded to servers. Recommend regular backups using Data Management feature.

Q: Can I create on mobile?

A: Yes! The website is fully responsive and supports phones, tablets, and computers. However, desktop is recommended for better editing experience.

Q: Is there a limit on number of habits?

A: No hard limit, but we recommend 3-5 habits for preschoolers (3-6) and 5-8 for elementary students (6-12). Too many can overwhelm children and hinder persistence.
