Sign in or create your Habit Nova account
Head to habitnova.com and log in to your existing account, or create a new one. All plans include NFC tag support.
Claim your tags
Your kit tags are pre-configured. Just tap a tag with your phone — you'll see a "Claim this tag" button. Tap it and the tag is linked to your account.
Assign habits to your tags
After claiming, go to Dashboard → NFC Tags. Each tag can be assigned to any habit you create — "Drink water", "Morning stretch", "Take vitamins", anything.
Place the tag where it matters
Stick it on your water bottle, bathroom mirror, gym bag, nightstand, pill bottle — wherever the habit naturally lives in your routine.
Tap to log. That's it.
Touch your phone to the tag. Your browser opens, the habit is logged, and your streak updates. No app to open, no password, no menus.
Total time: Under 1 second from tap to logged. No app to open. No password. No menus.
Bought blank tags?
If you picked up your own NFC stickers, here's how to program them yourself.
Create a tag in your dashboard
Go to Dashboard → NFC Tags → Create Tag. Pick a habit and assign it. You'll get a unique tap URL.
Download a free NFC writer app
Install "NFC Tools" (free on iOS and Android). This app writes your tap URL onto the physical NFC tag.
Write your URL to the NFC tag
Open NFC Tools → Write → Add a record → URL → Paste your tap URL from step 1. Hold your phone to the tag. Done in 3 seconds.

One tag, everyone's habit
Universal tags are built for shared spaces, not just your own routine. Stick one on a gym locker, an office kitchen, or a coworking desk — any Habit Nova user who taps it gets that habit added to their own account instantly, and sees how many others logged it that week.
Available as an add-on on any plan — up to 10 tags for $3/month. Pro includes 1 universal tag free.

Post-workout stretch
