Understanding streaks
Your streak is how Lookn tracks consistency — gently. It grows when you complete a task each day, gives you a 4 AM rollover so late-night check-ins still count, and offers several ways to bounce back from a missed day before the streak resets.
🚀 How a streak grows
Complete any one task in a day and your streak ticks up by 1. It doesn't matter which task, how long it took, or whether it was a shared task with a friend or a solo one — one check-in is the contract.
Your streak shows up in two places: the flame counter on the Home screen, and a full Streaks screen in the Me tab where you can see your current run, your best run, and a calendar showing your completed and repaired days.
⏰ When a day "ends"
Lookn flips the day at 4 AM your local time, not midnight. So a journal entry at 2 AM still counts toward yesterday — which matches how most people actually live and breathe.
❓ What happens if I miss a day?
You get a gentle grace window — Lookn measures time since your last completed task, not strict calendar days:
- Less than a day since your last check-in — all good, nothing changes.
- About a day late — counts as 1 missed day. If you have a repair available, it kicks in automatically.
- About two days late — counts as 2 missed days. Two streak savers can cover both. Without them, the streak resets.
- More than three days late — the streak resets.
That's nearly a three-day grace window in the worst case. You're not punished for sleeping in, traveling, or having a busy morning.

❓ What counts as a "task"?
- Anything you added in My Goals (water, a mindful minute, a walk, a journal entry, etc.) — just tap to complete it on Home.
- A shared task with a friend, marked done on the shared progress screen.
- Tasks tied to an exercise (breathing, an affirmation, a journal prompt) — finishing the exercise marks the task done.
What doesn't count: opening the app, petting your koko, or just browsing your dome. The streak is about doing, not browsing.
💬 FAQ
Does my streak save across devices?
Yes. Sign in with the same email anywhere — iPhone, iPad, Android — and your streak shows up the same.
I uninstalled the app — did I lose my streak?
No. Reinstall, sign in with the same email, and everything (streak, tasks, dome, coins, friends) comes right back.
The number looks wrong.
Force-quit and reopen the app — that refreshes everything from your account. If it still looks off, email support@looknapp.com with your account email and a screenshot of your Streaks screen.
Does completing a task multiple times build the streak faster?
No — the streak counts days, not actions. One check-in a day is all you need; extra completions are bonus but don't speed anything up.
