Your tags are pre-configured. Claim them, assign habits, and start tapping.
Sign in or create your account
01Head to habitnova.com and log in to your account, or create a new one. Every plan includes NFC tag support.
Claim your tags
02Your kit tags are pre-configured. Tap a tag with your phone and you'll see a "Claim this tag" button. Tap it and the tag is linked to your account.
Tip: Each tag in your kit has its own unique link. You only need to claim each one once.
Assign habits to your tags
03After claiming, go to Dashboard, then NFC Tags. Each tag can be assigned to any habit you create: "Drink water", "Morning stretch", "Take vitamins", anything.
Tip: You can reassign a tag to a different habit any time. No reprogramming needed.
Place the tag where it matters
04Stick it on your water bottle, bathroom mirror, gym bag, nightstand or pill bottle: wherever the habit already happens in your day.
Tip: The best spot is where you already go, not where you think you should go.
Tap to log. That's it.
05Touch your phone to the tag. The habit is logged and your streak updates. No app to open and no menus.
Boughtblank tags?
If you picked up your own NFC stickers, here's how to program them yourself.
Create a tag in your dashboard
01Go to Dashboard, then NFC Tags, then Create Tag. Pick a habit and assign it. You'll get a unique tap link.
Tip: You can change which habit a tag points to any time without reprogramming the physical tag.
Get a free NFC writer app
02Install "NFC Tools" (free on iOS and Android). It writes your tap link onto the physical NFC tag. On Android, the Habit Nova app can write tags too.
Tip: You only need to write the tag once. After that, it keeps working.
Write your link to the tag
03Open NFC Tools, then Write, Add a record, URL, and paste your tap link from step 1. Hold your phone to the tag. Done in a few seconds.
Tip: Hold steady. The write takes about a second, and you'll feel a buzz or hear a chime when it's done.
