A streak you can switch off, with history behind Premium

The Streaks screen shows a current streak of 1 day beside a sprouting-plant illustration and “0 Total tracks completed”. A “Use streaks” switch is on. Past streak activity is covered by “Upgrade to view past streak activity · Unlock with Premium”.

Design takeaway

Letting people turn streaks off is a meaningful choice. Putting their own history behind a paywall turns the record into an upsell; consider what people should be able to see about their own activity for free.

Reading plans

From a plan tied to calendar dates, through a sequence that waits for the reader and a weekly rhythm, to readings that belong to each day, and streaks as a warning case: decide what a plan asks of time, and what happens when someone comes back after days away.
