Lay your streak to rest
Rest gently.
The eulogy
Want to keep the habit, without the chain?
Tap a box to move the gap. The week counts either way.
This is how SevenGrid counts: seven boxes a week, one can stay empty, and nothing snaps. Have a look or go straight to Google Play.

Why this place exists
A broken streak feels like failure, when most of the time it's just proof that you have a life. Research even shows that people who can see their broken streak engage measurably less afterwards, especially when they blame themselves for the break. You can read it in Silverman and Barasch, or take your time with my essay on streaks.
That's what this place is for. The habit behind your streak was never the number. What you practiced stays practiced, and you may begin again any time, with no counter breathing down your neck.
SevenGrid doesn't count streaks at all, by the way. Just your week, seven boxes, honest and quiet. Have a look if you like, or go straight to Google Play.
