Customize

Auto login

If you restart Emacs often, or if you just don't like entering your username or password, it is possible to bypass it by setting your user id and token directly:

(setq habitica-uid "123")
(setq habitica-token "456")

You can find your uid and token by following the instructions here.

Completed Todos Section

You can view your completed to dos by adding following to init.el

(setq habitica-show-completed-todo t)

The variable is customized using the Emacs customization interface under the group habitica

Highlighting

If you want to try highlighting tasks based on their value

(setq habitica-turn-on-highlighting t)

This is very experimental.

Streak count

If you want the streak count to appear as a tag for your daily tasks

(setq habitica-show-streak t)
