# Streaks

> Complete at least one task a day. Watch your streak grow. Stay consistent.

## What it is

A streak is the number of consecutive days on which you've completed at least one task. It's a lightweight consistency signal — not a productivity score. The goal isn't to complete more on any given day; it's to close out at least one thing, every day.

## When to use it

Streaks work best as passive motivation. You don't need to do anything to "use" streaks — just keep shipping. Glance at the counter on the dashboard once a day if it helps.

## How it's computed

* **What counts as a day:** Any day (in your local timezone) with at least one task marked completed.
* **What counts as a task:** Any task whose `isCompleted` flag is `true`. Creating a task without completing it doesn't keep the streak alive.
* **When it resets:** A day passes without any completed task. The next time you complete a task, the streak restarts at 1.

## Recovery after a miss

There's no grace period or "freeze" in v1. If you miss a day, the streak resets. The best practice is to complete something small the moment you realize you haven't closed out anything today — even a one-minute task counts.

## Example

You complete at least one task on April 1, 2, 3, 4. Streak: 4.

You create tasks on April 5 but don't complete any of them. The next time you open Znift, the streak has reset. You complete `Morning coffee`. Streak: 1.
