Pause with Vacation Mode
Take a planned break for travel or illness without breaking your streaks or lowering your consistency.
Vacation Mode is for planned breaks — travel, illness, a hard fortnight. Days inside a break don't break your streaks and don't count against your consistency.
Steps
- Open Settings (the gear icon at the bottom of the menu), or go to Settings.
- Find the Vacation Mode card.
- Set From (it starts on today) and, if you know it, Until (optional). Leave Until blank for an open-ended break.
- Select Start a break.
- When you're back, return to the card and select I'm back.
Good to know
- While a break is active, the Habits page says that today doesn't count against you — log as much or as little as you like.
- Paused days are left out of your streaks, your grace and the "this week" percentages rather than counted as misses. The same goes for the longer-term consistency figures behind credentials, graduation and transition readiness.
- Coming back early with I'm back ends the break at yesterday, so the days you were away stay excluded. A break that hadn't started yet is simply cancelled.
- The end of a break can't come before its start.
