Getting started
What is Spark?
Spark is a habit app that starts smaller. You write one habit as a simple sentence, tick it off once a day, and earn badges as your streak grows.
Do I need an account?
You can try Spark first. Create a free account to keep your habits safe and use them on a new phone. Spark signs you in with a code sent to your email, so there is no password to remember.
I didn’t get my sign-in code.
Check your spam or junk folder and make sure the email address is spelled correctly. Codes expire after one hour, so request a new one if it is older. Still nothing? Contact us.
Which languages does Spark support?
English, Nederlands, Deutsch, Français and Español. Change it in Settings → Language.
Habits and streaks
How do streaks work?
Every scheduled day you tick your habit adds one to your streak. Your Today screen also shows a daily streak: complete one habit a day to keep it glowing.
Do rest days break my streak?
No. Planned rest days and pauses never break your streak. If a habit runs on weekdays only, weekends are rest days.
I missed a day. Is everything gone?
No. Your streak starts again, but your history and your best streak stay.
Can I break a bad habit with Spark?
Yes. Choose Break a habit, for example "Pause before scrolling", and confirm each day you avoided it.
How do the badges work?
There are 16 badges, from Sprout on day 0 to Luminary after 365 days in a row. Your best badge becomes your profile picture.
Mood and journal
What is the mood check-in?
A 5-second check-in: rate your day from 1 to 10. Your score appears in your journal and in a monthly graph. It’s free for everyone.
Is my journal private?
Yes. Your journal and mood are stored on your iPhone and are never shared with your circle or uploaded to our servers.
How do I keep my journal when I change phones?
Because your journal stays on your device, export it first in Settings → Your data → Export.
Your Circle
How do I invite friends?
Open Your Circle and tap +. Share your personal invite code or link, or pick people from your contacts. Your contacts are never uploaded.
What can my circle see?
Only what you allow in Settings → Your Circle: your streaks and check-ins, your badges and your best streak. Never your journal or mood.
How do I remove or block someone?
Open their profile in Your Circle and choose Remove or Block. Blocked people can’t find you or send you invites.
Reminders and notifications
My reminders don’t arrive.
- Open iPhone Settings → Notifications → Spark and turn on Allow Notifications.
- In Spark, check Settings → Notifications and the time set for each habit.
- Check that Focus or Do Not Disturb isn’t hiding them.
- Open Spark once after an update so it can schedule your reminders again.
Can I turn off the mood check-in?
Yes, in Settings → Notifications → Mood check-in.
Spark Pro and subscriptions
What do I get with Spark Pro?
Unlimited habits, Spark AI coaching, detailed Insights and every lesson in Learn. Spark Free keeps one active habit.
How do I cancel?
On your iPhone, open Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Spark and tap Cancel. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
How do I get a refund?
Purchases are handled by Apple. Request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
I have a new phone. How do I restore Pro?
Sign in with the same Apple ID and tap Restore purchases on the Spark Pro screen.
