How do streaks work?

Your streak follows the school week shown in your app. Weekends and school holidays pause it. You cannot pause it yourself, and support cannot restore a lost streak.

Keeping your streak

Open Knowunity and study on a school day and your streak goes up by one. You can see it on your profile and on the home screen.

Weekends and holidays

  • The days shown on your streak page follow your country’s school week. Do not assume that the school week always runs from Monday to Friday. Check the days shown in your app.
  • School holidays in your region, including the summer break, pause your streak as well.

Streak freezes

A freeze protects your streak on a school day you miss. You cannot buy a freeze.

Some students see a balance of freezes on their streak page and may earn one after completing a learning activity. The app tells you when you receive one; completing an activity does not always give another freeze. Other accounts keep their usual freeze screen.

When you return after a frozen day, you may see Tap to unfreeze. Follow the taps shown to continue. The same freeze balance and unfreeze screen also appear on the website.

The unfreeze screen can play sounds. If your app has a Sound effects switch in Settings, under App, turn it off to mute them.

This is being tested. You cannot opt in or out, and support cannot switch it on.

Can I pause my streak?

No. You cannot pause your streak yourself, for example while you are away, and support cannot pause it for you. Weekends and school holidays already pause it, as described above.

I lost my streak

If you miss a school day without a freeze, your streak can start again from the beginning. Streaks are a motivation tool, so support cannot restore a lost streak.

My streak did not count today

  • Make sure the app had an internet connection when you opened it.
  • Restart the app and check again.
  • If the streak counter is clearly wrong, for example it keeps a streak after weeks of not studying, report it through the support form under A technical problem with a screenshot.
