Frequently Asked Questions

How is the current streak calculated?
Your current streak counts consecutive days ending at today (or yesterday). If you miss a day, the streak resets to zero — but your total days stay.
What happens when I miss a day?
Your current streak resets to zero. That is how streaks work — and exactly why we built the Journal Growth Tracker as an alternative. In the garden, missing a day changes nothing.
Is my data saved?
Yes, in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server. Clear your browser data and the history is gone — but your real journal lives safely in Pensio.
What is the Journal Growth Tracker?
It is our alternative to streak counting. Instead of consecutive days, it measures total entries and assigns growth levels: Seedling, Sprout, Bloom, Forest. Nothing resets, nothing decays. Try it at /tools/journal-growth-tracker/.
Why does Pensio recommend the garden over streaks?
Streaks reward frequency over depth, create anxiety about breaking them, and reset your progress to zero for missing one day. A garden rewards every entry equally, welcomes you back without guilt, and never shrinks.
