Miss a day, keep the streak: how mends work
A streak in The Habbits survives one missed day a week. Miss a day, do the habit the next day, and the gap is mended. Miss two in a row and the streak ends. Honest and forgiving at once.
A mend, day by day
A missed day is mended only when the days on both sides of it are done. Until you do the habit the next day, the streak is alive but waiting.
One mend per rolling week
Mends in a streak are at least seven days apart. Mend a Thursday, and the next Thursday can be mended too; a single miss before then ends the streak instead.
When a streak ends that way, a new one starts the next time you do the habit, with its mend ready.
Two days in a row ends it
Miss Thursday and Friday and the streak is over, mend or no mend. Do the habit on Saturday and a new streak starts at one day.
Mended days don’t count
A mend holds a streak together, but only days you did the habit add to its length. Ten days done and one mended is a 10-day streak, so a 30-day streak still means thirty days of doing it.
Milestones land at 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 100 and 365 days, counted the same way.
Where you see it
- The habit’s tile says mend today while a miss is waiting to be mended.
- In the month mosaic, a completion is a mark, a miss is a gap, and a mended day is a sage seam.
- A tick from a widget, Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action button mends a day just like a tap in the app.
Retiring isn’t missing
Retire a habit and its streak pauses. Days it spends retired aren’t misses, and when you bring it back the streak picks up from its last day in rotation.
