Streaks, skips and missed days

Streaks can help, until one bad day wipes out a month and you stop opening the app. Thendoo counts streaks so that normal life doesn’t reset you to zero.

The rule: one off day a week is fine

New habits start with Allow one missed day a week turned on. Your streak keeps going after one off day in a week. A second miss in the same week ends that streak, and the next check starts a new one.

You can turn the setting off in the habit’s edit sheet if you want a strict daily count.

Today never counts against you

Today is still open until it ends, so a habit you haven’t done yet today never breaks a streak. Do it at 11 pm and it still counts.

Skips are free

Sick, traveling, or the gym is closed? Use Skip on the habit (“Skip … today, no penalty”). A skipped day doesn’t add to the streak and doesn’t break it. The streak label shows how many skips it carries, such as 12 days, 2 skips. If you skipped by mistake, undo it the same way.

Weekly and flexible habits

For A few times a week and Whenever it fits habits, Thendoo counts weeks, not days. If your target is three times a week, a week where you reach it adds one to the streak, whichever days you picked.

What a missed day looks like

Thendoo never records a “miss” as an event. A scheduled day you didn’t tick simply shows as a grey Not done in the history. There is no red, and no count of failures anywhere. When a streak ends, the label reads Fresh start.

Read the history

Open a habit’s history to see the last 12 weeks as a grid, with a summary like “The last 12 weeks: 61 done, 4 skipped”. Each square is one of:

• Done, Skipped or Not done
• Today
• Not scheduled, for days the habit doesn’t ask for
• Still to come and Before this habit

Forgot to tick it?

The history grid is for looking, not editing: the web app only checks off today, so a day you forgot to tick stays Not done. That is why the streak rule forgives an off day.
