# Streaks - What are they and what can they do for me? - iOS

A streak tracker is a powerful motivator for building lasting habits. By visually representing your consistency, it provides immediate feedback, fosters accountability, and encourages momentum. Each day you maintain your streak becomes a small victory, reinforcing your commitment and making it easier to turn new actions into lifelong routines. It's a simple yet effective way to stay motivated and celebrate progress as you work toward meaningful change.

### What are streaks?
A streak is the number of days in a row you have tracked food in the app. Your streak starts at zero and increases by one each day you track. 

|| Please note: You have to track food in the app in order to continue your streak. Tracking only water or exercises does not count.

### Why are streaks important for you?
It can be hard to get things going on your journey toward a healthier lifestyle. With streaks, you are reminded to track food every day so you can take charge of your daily routines and eventually form lasting, healthy habits.
