One grid: training and habits look the same on purpose

Open the week board and a training session and a habit look the same: a row, a target, cells you mark with the same two-stroke X. There’s no badge on the habit row saying “personal,” no different color to flag it as the sensitive one. That sameness is deliberate, and it’s doing more work than it looks like.

The problem a special style would create

Give habits their own visual treatment — a lock icon, a muted row, anything that reads as “handle with care” — and you’ve just labeled which rows are the ones worth hiding. Someone glancing at a screen over your shoulder doesn’t need to read the row’s name to learn something if the row itself is dressed differently from the others. The safest way to keep a habit unreadable at a glance is to make it look like everything else on the page.

What actually differs, underneath

The visual identity is shared; the logic underneath isn’t. A habit you’re trying to break counts backwards from a habit you’re building: every day since you started is clean until you log a slip, and a slip resets the clean-day count without ending the weekly streak outright. A training habit just counts sessions against a target. Both surface through the same component, the same grid, the same mark, because the reader of the screen never needs to know which kind of row they’re looking at — only the person who owns it does, and they already know.

The same rule, at every layer

This is the same instinct that keeps a habit’s name off the feed and its amounts off the leaderboard, applied one layer earlier: before data privacy even comes into it, visual privacy means the screen itself doesn’t announce what’s on it. A grid that treats every row identically is the version that works whether you’re looking at your own week or someone else is looking at it with you.
