Building streaks

Streaks are the simplest way to build consistency. Here's how they work.

What counts as a streak day?

Any day you log at least one practice session, whether timed or manual, counts. It doesn't matter if it's five minutes or five hours, the point is showing up. Your streak number shows on the Practice tab, right under Mewstro.

The calendar heatmap

Open the Calendar tab and you'll see your last 90 days as a grid. Each day you practised is filled in green, and the more you practised the darker the square gets. Days you missed stay empty. It's a quick visual scan of how consistent you've been.

Activity rings

Below the heatmap you'll see three rings, for daily, weekly, and monthly practice. These fill up as you hit your practice goals. You set your daily goal during onboarding, and can change it any time in Settings > Goals. The weekly and monthly rings are calculated from your daily target.

What happens if you miss a day?

Your streak resets to zero. Mewstro doesn't guilt you about it, the cat just falls asleep until you come back. When you do, you start building again from day one. If you did practise but forgot to log it, you can add a manual entry for a past date to save your streak.

Streak badges

Hit certain milestones and you'll unlock streak badges at 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, and beyond. These show up in your Achievements and Mewstro celebrates each one. They're yours to keep even if your streak breaks later on.

Tips for keeping it going

  • Turn on daily reminders in Settings, Mewstro will nudge you at the time you choose
  • Put the Mewstro widget on your home screen so your streak is always visible
  • Even a short session counts, five minutes of scales is better than nothing
  • If you're on Apple Watch, start a quick session from your wrist when you're near your instrument
