Irregular weeks
Shift work, travel, a sick child: one missed day no longer resets a long streak.
Streak freezeMiss a day.
Keep the streak.
A streak is a gentle reason to come back each day. Life sometimes gets in the way. A streak freeze covers a day you miss, so one busy day does not undo weeks of practice.

How it works
- Every 7 days in a row earns one freeze. You can hold 2.
- If you miss a day, a freeze covers it by itself the next time you practise. Two freezes can cover two days in a row.
- A covered day keeps the streak going but does not add to it.
- If you miss more days than you have freezes, the streak starts again, and no freeze is spent.
- Freezes are earned by practice, never bought.
Turn it on
Streak freeze is off until you turn it on. Two ways, both one tap:
Tap your streak on Today and choose Turn it on, or open Settings → Practice → Streak freeze.
Tap your streak again to see the freezes you have ready.
A day a freeze covered shows a dotted ring in This week.
Every app needs to be up to date. Each app works the streak out for itself, so an older app would show a streak the freeze kept as broken. While one of your signed-in apps is older, the switch says “Update your other apps to turn this on.” Turning it off is always possible and keeps the freezes you earned.
Why it helps
A streak helps you come back, but losing a long one to a single missed day can make people stop altogether. A freeze keeps the habit without the pressure. It is earned only by practising, so it rewards the days you did practise.
Your words do not need the streak: a missed day costs them nothing, because due words simply wait for you. The freeze is for you, and for the habit.

Seven days in a row earns the first freeze, a small reward for the hardest week.

If losing a streak ever made you give up, keep it on.

Questions
Do I have to use a freeze myself?
No. When you practise after a missed day, a freeze covers it by itself.
Can I buy freezes?
No. They are earned by practice only.
Why can’t I turn it on?
One of your other signed-in apps is older. Update it, or sign it out, and the switch opens.
Does a missed day hurt my words?
No. Words that are due wait for you, with or without a freeze. The freeze only keeps the streak.
What happens if I turn it off?
The streak works as it did before, and the freezes you earned are kept for when you turn it on again.
