Hey all - I'm the maker of Streaks. I'll be here for a while if you have any questions or comments about the app!
This is the first app I've built using Swift, and also the first using HealthKit. I built the app because there's a number of things I need to do every day, such as ensuring I turn off my leaky tap properly (I build apps, I'm not a plumber ;) )

@hendx Cool concept! Are there some sort of alerts to trigger you to start preforming those daily tasks?

@tiagooooooooo Having a cap of the number of tasks (6) makes people know it'll never get out of hand. My own tasks include a couple of relatively easy tasks, as well as a "Walk X,000 Steps" task, meaning progress is shown every time I launch the app.
Then once three are knocked off it's a smaller step for the user to finish the final 3.
Additionally, it'll prompt you to adjust your steps/distance tasks based on your success/failure rate. It also provides notifications at a relevant time of day to remind you.

@hendx Great idea Quentin. I'm a stickler for building a positive routine around the little things like writing new content, reading industry news, going for a run etc. Streaks sounds like something I'd love. While I'm currently an Android user, I hope to be a user soon whether it's on a new iphone or when you build an android version. Congrats on a great tool!

@hendx Really cool concept. Is there any punishment or something like that for continuosly missing? That could be a motivation to not miss

@akshay2104 The punishment is breaking your streak and losing satisfaction. If you continually miss a distance/steps task, Streaks will recommend adjusting it so you can complete it more often. No punishment like public shaming or anything like that though ;)

@hendx Love the product. Tried many others similar to this, but love the visual simplicity. My only pet peeve is that if I forget to check in a task one day, it starts all over. I wish there was a way to go back and check a streak back in?
