How streaks work

A streak is the number of scheduled days you completed in a row, counting back from today.

The rules

• Days off don’t count against you. If a habit is scheduled Monday to Friday, the weekend neither breaks nor adds to the streak.
• Today is still open. An unfinished today doesn’t break your streak until the day is over.
• Targets must be met. For a habit like 8 glasses, a day counts once you reach 8.
• Weekly habits count weeks. A habit set to a number of times per week keeps a streak of weeks in a row where you hit the target.
• Nothing before the habit existed counts. Days before you created it are ignored.

Where you see it

Cards show the streak once it reaches 3 days. Before that, they show how many of the last 14 days you did, like “9 of last 14”, because a small streak says less than a good fortnight.

The habit screen shows your current and best streak. You can hide streaks everywhere with Settings › Habits › Show streaks.

Streaks aren’t everything

A streak resets after one miss. Your history doesn’t. That’s why Insights leads with consistency and counts your comebacks too.
