Streaks Explained
Your streak counts consecutive days of learning — the single best predictor that your 12-week plan actually gets finished. Here's exactly how a day earns its flame.
What counts as a streak day
Any one of these keeps your streak alive:
- Completing a daily lesson from your plan (~15 focused minutes)
- Completing a Booster (a 5–10 minute interactive micro-session)
- Completing Daily Practice (the 2-minute, 5-question review)
That last one matters: Daily Practice is free and unlimited for everyone, so even on the free tier there is always a 2-minute way to keep the streak going, every single day.
The day boundary
Days flip at your local midnight. Finish any qualifying activity before midnight your time and the day counts.
Milestones
Streak milestones land at 7, 14, 30, 60, and 100 days. Each one is a real marker — a week of showing up, a month of showing up — and showing up daily also earns you a streak bonus in XP on top of whatever you completed.
Perfect Week
A Perfect Week is 7 earned days in a row — days where you actually learned. Days covered by a Streak Shield or a booked Rest Day keep your streak alive, but they don't count toward a Perfect Week. The streak measures continuity; the Perfect Week measures effort.
Streak Wager
Feeling confident? Once your streak is at 3 or more, you can opt into a Streak Wager: stake 200 XP, and if you hit a 7-day streak you win 500 XP plus a Streak Shield. Miss, and the stake is gone. It's entirely optional — a little skin in the game for people it motivates.
Keeping it visible
Add the home-screen Streak widget or a lock-screen widget so your streak is in view all day — the widget deep-links straight into your Daily Practice. GapFix also sends a streak-at-risk evening alert if the day is slipping away, tuned to when you usually learn.
