A streak counts a particular pattern in recorded sessions. It cannot measure the quality of your meals, your wellbeing or whether a routine is suitable for you. Treat it as one optional display, not a daily obligation.
Know what the number represents
Reset’s streaks use consecutive local end dates with a target met. A session ending the next morning counts towards that morning’s date. Different targets can change whether similar-duration sessions qualify.
A missing log can also change the displayed pattern. Before interpreting a broken streak, check whether the underlying record is complete and accurate.
Ask more useful questions
Instead of asking only whether the number increased, consider:
- Did I record the actual start and end?
- Did the planned window fit work and shared meals?
- Did I change a record only to protect a score?
- Is checking the app making the day easier or more stressful?
Those questions do not require a perfect run of days. They can reveal a problem even when the streak is growing.
Make room for an honest early finish
If you finish before the target, end the session at the actual time. Do not leave it running while eating, or add an invented past session to keep the display intact.
See ending a fast before the target for the recording workflow. A shorter entry still contributes information about what happened.
Step back when tracking becomes the problem
You can stop using a timer. If tracking encourages distress, rigid restriction or ignoring symptoms, seek support from a qualified professional. Our safety context includes important reasons fasting may be unsuitable.
Reset does not offer a clinical assessment through its rewards or badges. In this version, this guide does not imply there is a dedicated switch to hide every streak display. It suggests a different way to read the record—and the option to put the app aside when it is not helping.
