What is the Streaks feature?
Streaks are designed to keep you moving, mindful, and consistent, because consistency creates momentum, and momentum shapes habits.
At the top right of your dashboard, you’ll see the lightning bolt counter, which reflects how many consecutive days you’ve completed a qualifying activity. Every day you meet the minimum requirement, your streak increases by one. If you skip a day, your streak resets back to 0.
Many Strovers set personal goals (like a 7-day, 14-day, or 30-day streak) as a fun way to stay active and accountable.
What Activities Count Toward My Streak?
We keep the rules simple and generous.
You can extend your streak by doing one of the following each day:
1. Any Qualifying Activity of 10 Minutes or More
This includes:
Walking
Running
Cycling
Swimming
Workouts (strength, HIIT, gym sessions)
Yoga or stretching
Mindfulness sessions
Meditation or breathwork
Your streak will extend as long as it:
Is 10 minutes or longer,
Syncs to Strove, and
Qualifies for Strove Coins that day,
2. Hitting 8,000 Steps in a Day
If your connected app sends step data to Strove and you hit 8 000+ steps, that day counts toward your streak, even if you didn’t log a specific workout.
Only automatically synced, valid activities count. Manually added activities or activities missing required data will not extend a streak.
Do I earn Rewards for maintaining Streaks?
Not right now. Streaks are designed as a motivation tool, not a reward mechanism. But additional streak-based rewards are a feature the team is exploring for the future.
Why your Streak might not be updating
1. No Qualifying Activity Was Synced for That Day
If you didn’t score any Strove Coins that day, your streak resets automatically.
Check your Dashboard to confirm whether a qualifying activity was processed.
2. The Activity Synced Late
If your connected app only uploads the session after midnight or after the day closes out, Strove may treat it as the next day's activity.
Common reasons for late syncing:
Apple Health or Samsung Health delays
Strava profile set to private
Wearable synced only after several hours
Health Connect permissions temporarily turned off
Bluetooth or internet interruptions
If the original activity doesn’t appear under that day in your Strove history, it cannot count toward your streak.
3. Activity Was Missing Required Data
For an activity to count it must:
Be at least 10 minutes
Include valid data (HR, GPS, duration, steps, etc., depending on the activity type)
Not be manually added or edited in Strava, Fitbit, Garmin, etc.
4. Permissions Were Turned Off or Expired
If permissions were disabled at any point, Strove cannot retrieve activity data for that time period, even if you re-enable them later.
5. Step Data Didn’t Transfer
This can happen if:
Samsung Health isn't connected properly to Health Connect
Apple Watch data shows in Fitness but not Apple Health
Fitbit didn’t sync steps before the daily cutoff
Huawei or Honor Health wasn’t linked through Health Sync or Fitbit
If steps don’t appear in your Strove dashboard, they won’t count toward a streak.
What to Do If Your Streak Still Isn’t Updating
If you believe you met the daily requirement and your streak still reset:
Check the activity in your source app (Strava, Fitbit, Garmin, etc.).
Confirm the activity appears in your Strove Dashboard under the correct date.
Verify all permissions are enabled in:
Apple Health → Sources → Strove
Health Connect → App Permissions → Strove
Refresh Strove by pulling down on the home screen.
If syncing was delayed, wait up to 24 hours for leaderboard and streak recalculations.
If your streak is still incorrect, contact Strove Support and include:
Screenshots of the activity in your connected app
A screenshot of your Strove Dashboard for that date
Your device type and connected apps
This helps us resolve streak issues far quicker.
