One day
at a time.
Read one thing a day. Watch it become a habit. Miss a day and a freeze covers you. Because the goal isn't perfection — the goal is not resetting to zero.
A single reading day starts a streak. 7 days = +20 XP. 30 days = +100 XP.
Why streaks work here
Motivation isn't the system.
Streaks convert desire into structure. Structure is what carries you to day 200 when motivation isn't there.
Daily is the unit
Read something — anything — once a day. Not a chapter. Not an hour. A read. The unit is small so it's never negotiable.
Freezes cover the misses
Miss a day and a freeze auto-covers you — no penalty. Free plan gets 1 freeze/month. Sloth+ gets 3.
Milestones stack XP
7 days → +20 XP. 30 days → +100 XP. Every 30-day multiple after that. The reward compounds as you compound.
Your history, visible
A calendar that keeps you honest.
The heatmap you see on /sloth/streak — 26 weeks of your reading, all in one view.
Freezes
Real life doesn't care about your streak.
Freezes auto-consume when you miss a day. Your structure survives. No shame notification, no "streak lost" screen — just a quiet save.
Free plan: 1 freeze / month. Refills on the 1st.
Sloth+: 3 freezes / month.
Never manual: the system consumes them for you.
You'll see this on your Sloth home the day after a save.
Real questions.
What counts as a reading day?
Any article you actually read (~30s dwell + 50% scroll). Not just opening a page.
Do streaks pressure me into unhealthy habits?
Freezes exist so you can miss without punishment. There's no public counter, no notification if your streak resets, no shame layer. It's a structure — take it or leave it.
What happens at 30 days?
You get +100 XP and unlock a milestone modal. Then the same mechanic keeps going — every 30 days, another milestone.
Can I see it if I'm off Linkos for a week?
The email digest tells you your current streak + freezes remaining. So you can plan around it.
Start today. Tomorrow's the next one.
