You don't need more motivation. You need a plan that notices when you skip. Streak is a habit tracker for building good habits and quitting bad ones — quit smoking, quit vaping, quit doomscrolling — with 63 guided Journey programs that tell you exactly what to do each day, and one honest rule: miss a day, start over. WHY IT WORKS • A plan, not a blank list — every Journey comes with daily tasks already written • Real stakes — skip a day and the program restarts at day one, so finishing means something • Flexible goals — daily, weekly or monthly; a check, a count, or minutes on a timer • Streaks you can trust — vacation mode and skip days protect your chain when life happens • Everything on one screen — today's habits sorted into morning, afternoon and evening • Works offline — your data lives on your device 63 GUIDED JOURNEYS Monk Mode: 15 days, one project, a protected deep-work block every day. Or pick a 30-day program: Morning Reset, Digital Detox, Dopamine Detox, Hard 30, Soft 30, Cold Shower, 10K Steps, Glow Up, No-Buy, Sleep Reset and more. Each day unlocks only today's tasks; milestones at days 7, 14 and 21; rest days built in. Run up to three Journeys at once. BUILD OR QUIT Build: read, meditate, train, drink water, sleep early. Quit: smoking, vaping, sugar, alcohol, doomscrolling. For quit habits, success means staying under your limit — the app counts that way. TRACK YOUR WAY Checks, counts with custom units, or a live timer with a running badge. Multiple reminders per habit, by weekday. Backfill missed days from the calendar. Tag and sort habits. 94 3D icons and three color themes, each with light and dark. SEE WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING Weekly, monthly and yearly reports, a per-habit heatmap calendar, best streaks, perfect days and a Year in Review grid. Log your mood — five levels, notes, factors — and see how it moves with your habits. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN Apple Watch app with a wrist timer. Home and lock screen widgets you can complete from. A Live Activity in the Dynamic Island while your timer runs. Siri shortcuts. Apple Health can auto-fill steps, sleep, exercise and HRV. TOGETHER OR ALONE Start a group with an invite code and see each other's daily progress — or keep it all to yourself. Sync your data across devices when you sign in with Apple or Google; no email needed. Lock the app with Face ID. FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO quit smoking or vaping, stop doomscrolling, build a morning routine, drink more water, do a dopamine detox, train for 30 days straight, run a full glow up — or finally finish that one project in Monk Mode. Pick a Journey. Day one starts today. Streak is not medical advice and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
