Is the assumption that you do these things once a day? Any way to edit the frequency? I'd like to do things every other day, once a week, once a month, etc.

Currently yes. The main idea was to have something to build good small habits that you do daily. So no current way to change frequency.
You could technically do up to every 4 days since you'll still be able to keep your streaks using the freezes

#93I wonder how useful other people find streaks as a motivational tool. I'm interested in this, because I feel like I should add this to my own app because other apps do, so I guess some people must find benefit, but personally dislike them. I can see they provide a great incentive to not miss a day when you've built up a very long streak - years ago, I'd built up well over 1000 day streak on an app, and sure it did mo…
I also think steaks can be a good motivator, but it can be quite demotivating if you accidentally lose a long streak. That was the idea with the freezes, to still have the motivation element but try to cut out any of the annoyances that come with streak. They get automatically used, but as long as you complete at least one day before they run out, the number of freezes reset.
In terms of your situation when you had to travel, you could also pause the app. That way when you get back, you'd pick up right where you left off without losing anything. I don't think these ideas cover every scenario, so there may still be room for improvement

#94Are you planning to launch an app?
I haven't really thought about launching an app. Currently you could download the webpage as an app on your home screen. I wonder if a native app would be more useful

#95Trying to add a check in the past but the calendar shows up but can't select a date. Using chrome.
The calendar let's you mark days from one the habit was created, instead of any day in the past

#96Add a thing for bad habits too, and run the streak inverted. The more times you don't click the better.
Or else make the bad habit a reward that has to be earned in some formula you specify, e.g. "walk 10,000 steps/500 calories to earn 1 beer/hamburger/donut".
