A streak resets when a scheduled day passes without a check-off and you don't have enough streak shields to cover the gap. When that happens, you'll see the Your streak ended screen.
Here's how just streak decides:
- When you open the app, it looks back at the scheduled days you missed since your last visit, up to yesterday.
- If you have enough shields to cover every missed day, they're used automatically and your streak keeps going. You'll see Shield used.
- If you don't have enough for the whole gap, no shields are spent and the streak starts over. Your shields stay in your balance for next time.
Some things that never break a streak:
- Rest days. Days a habit isn't scheduled are skipped.
- Today. Today isn't missed until it's over, so you have until midnight.
Your Longest streak is never lost. It stays on the habit's detail screen and your Profile.
Missed days can't be checked off after the fact; only today can. Tap Start again to begin a new streak right away.
