Getting in touch

Email furniturewala@yahoo.com. Please say which iPhone you are using and which version of iOS is on it — Settings › General › About. Most problems turn out to be specific to one device or one OS version.

Using the app

Logging something you did

Tap the activity in the row along the bottom of the Timeline. That logs it for right now, with no duration, and that is a complete entry — you do not have to fill anything else in.

Adding the date or a duration

Tap + at the top right instead. Choose the activity, set the date and time, and switch on Track how long if you want to record a duration. Tap Save.

Logging something from yesterday

Use + and change the date. You cannot log something in the future — an entry in Streak means it already happened, so the date picker stops at today.

Creating a new activity

Tap the dashed New button at the end of the activity row on the Timeline, or New Activity at the end of the grid in the log screen. Give it a name, pick a colour and an icon, and tap Save. It stays in your list from then on.

If you create it from the log screen, it is selected for you straight away, so you can finish logging what you just did.

Editing or deleting an entry

Tap the entry in the Timeline to open it. Change anything, or use Delete entry. You can also swipe an entry in the list to delete it.

Renaming, recolouring or reordering activities

Settings › Manage activities. Tap one to edit it, or use Edit and drag to reorder — the order there is the order of the quick-log buttons on the Timeline.

Archiving instead of deleting

Swipe an activity in Manage activities and choose Archive. It disappears from the logging screens but keeps its history in your stats. Deleting an activity instead removes everything you ever logged against it, and that cannot be undone.

Streaks

How the streak is counted

Your streak is the number of days in a row with at least one activity logged. Two activities in a day count the same as one — the streak is about showing up, not about volume.

Why is my streak still showing when I have not logged anything today?

On purpose. At nine in the morning you have not done anything yet, and an app that resets your streak to zero every morning would be telling you something untrue. The count runs to today if today is logged, and to yesterday if it is not. Miss a whole day and the streak ends.

I logged something for a past date and my streak did not change

It should. If a back-dated entry fills a gap between two runs of days, the streak joins up and the number goes up accordingly. Check the date on the entry — it is easy to save with today's date still selected.

The widget

Adding it

Touch and hold an empty part of your home screen, tap EditAdd Widget, search for Streak, and choose a size. The small size shows your streak and a summary of today; the medium size also lists today's activities and the past week. There are Lock Screen widgets as well.

The widget is showing the wrong number

The widget updates when you log something and again after midnight. If it looks stale, open the app once — that forces a refresh. iOS also limits how often widgets may update when your battery is low.

The widget is empty but the app has my data

Remove the widget and add it again. If it is still empty, delete and reinstall the app.

Reminders

Turning the daily reminder on

Settings › Daily reminder. The first time you switch it on, iOS asks whether to allow notifications. Choose the time underneath.

The switch will not stay on

That means notifications are turned off for Streak in iOS. The app will not leave the switch on promising a notification that cannot arrive. Go to Settings › Notifications › Streak and allow them, then try again.

How many notifications will I get?

One a day, at the time you chose, and nothing else. Streak has no other notifications of any kind.

Common questions

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to.

Does it sync between my devices?

Not in this version. Your data lives on the one iPhone.

Does it read Apple Health?

No. Everything in Streak is logged by you, deliberately. Nothing is imported and nothing is written back.

Is my data private?

Yes. It is stored on your iPhone and the app makes no network requests at all. There are no analytics, no ads, and no third-party services. See the privacy policy.

Will I lose everything if I delete the app?

Yes. Deleting the app deletes its data, and there is no copy anywhere else.

Is there a paid version?

No. Streak is free, with no in-app purchases and no advertising.
