My "Streak" reset unexpectedly

First off, we know this can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you've worked hard to build up a long streak. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will make sure you're well taken care of.
​

If your streak reset unexpectedly and you're not sure why, we can manually restore it for you while we investigate what happened.



Common causes of "Streak" resets

1) Using "Unblock" after reaching unblock limits

If you unblock apps after you've exceeded your set number of unblocks, you will lose your "Streak." Learn more here. This is the most common cause of streak resets. Think back to the past day or two: Did you use any "Unblock" buttons after reaching your unblock limits?

2) Accidentally created a new account

Sometimes users think their streak has reset when they've actually logged into a new account by mistake. This can happen if you:

  • Signed up with a different email address than you remember

  • Used one email originally (like a work or iCloud email) and later logged in with a different email

  • Created a fresh account after reinstalling the app

3) Technical glitches (rare)

In rare cases, streaks may reset due to technical issues with data syncing or app conflicts.
