Streak Freezes

The one missed day a week your streak forgives — how it is spent, and when it comes back.

Updated

One forgiven day a week

Each of your two habit streaks carries a freeze: a single missed day that does not end the run. When a day passes without logging and a freeze is available, it is spent automatically and your count carries on where it was. Nothing to arm, and nothing to remember in the moment — the forgiveness is already in place before the day you need it.

Food logging and weighing in keep their own freeze, so a missed weigh-in never costs your logging streak.

How you see it

In the week strip that appears with a streak celebration, the forgiven day shows a bolt in an amber circle rather than the gap it would otherwise be.

When it comes back

The freeze is restored every Monday. Spend it on a Thursday and you are covered again at the start of the following week; two missed days inside the same week is where a streak ends and starts over.

What does not spend it

The freeze exists for days that got away from you, so two situations leave it untouched:

  • Editing today. Deleting today's last entry drops the count without spending the freeze — that is an edit to your diary, not a day you missed.
  • A day that turns out fine. If the freeze is spent and the day ends up logged after all, it is handed straight back.

The calendar still tells the truth

A forgiven day is forgiven by the streak, not rewritten in your history. The habit calendar goes on showing that day as unlogged, and a day you backfill later still counts as complete data without extending the run. The streak measures showing up in the moment; the calendar measures what happened.
