Streaks alternatives with heatmaps for pattern feedback.
Streaks is built around protecting a daily chain. If you want visual history — heatmaps, grids, and long-term patterns — compare alternatives that show consistency over time instead of only whether the chain is unbroken.
Chains vs patterns
A streak counts days. A heatmap shows the shape of consistency.
A chain tells you whether you kept going. A heatmap shows how often you showed up across weeks and months — including after imperfect days. If Streaks helped you start but you want richer feedback, prioritize tools built around visual history.

A longer chain is not the same as a clearer pattern.
If you want feedback that survives a miss, choose a system built around heatmaps and weekly structure — not only streak length.
