Raze Streak Counter

Written by Muneeb Rana · Last updated 26 October 2026

What the streak counter shows

The number on Raze's home screen is the count of clean days since your start date, or since the last relapse you logged. Milestones sit along the way so the next target is always a few days off rather than months away. Because it updates without any input from you, it works as a passive reminder: you open the app and see the result of every day you held the line.

The counter is only as honest as the logging behind it. If you slip and don't record it, the number stops meaning anything, which is why it's paired with the relapse tracker.

Setting your start date the right way

1. Pick the day you actually stopped, not the day you downloaded the app. If that was three days ago, enter three days ago.
2. If you're starting fresh, start today rather than waiting for a Monday or the first of the month. A delayed start is a common way to talk yourself into "one last time".
3. Decide in writing what breaks a streak for you (porn only, or porn and masturbation). Raze counts whatever rule you choose; the app doesn't decide it for you.
4. Choose a first milestone you can see from here: 3 or 7 days, not 90.

Milestones and what tends to happen around them

Day range	What people often report	What helps
Days 1–3	Urges at habitual times (late night, after waking)	Plan exactly what you will do at those times
Days 4–14	Boredom, restlessness, "testing" yourself with borderline content	Remove borderline content too, not just explicit sites
Days 15–30	Overconfidence after the first big number	Keep the same barriers you set on day one
Days 30–90	Fewer urges, but stress-triggered spikes	Review your log for stress patterns

These are common patterns, not predictions; nobody can tell you exactly how your streak will feel.

Why a count helps (and where it doesn't)

Seeing a number grow gives you a small reward for each day, which matters because the habit you're dropping was itself built on quick rewards. Habit research suggests new behaviours take weeks to months to become automatic, with large differences between people (Lally et al., 2010), so a daily counter keeps you engaged through the slow middle stretch.

The weakness of a streak is the reset. People who see a long count drop to zero often binge because the number "is gone anyway". The fix is to treat the streak as one view of progress, alongside your total clean days in progress insights.

Streak counter mistakes

• Restarting at zero and deleting the history in frustration. Keep the record; it shows how far you got.
• Hiding a slip to protect the number. A dishonest count trains you to ignore it.
• Picking a goal so far away that today feels pointless. Stack short goals in Raze goals.
• Treating day 90 as the finish line. Decide now what "maintenance" will look like after it.

Streak counter checklist

• Start date entered honestly
• Your rule for what counts as a reset written down
• First milestone set at 7 days or less
• Notifications set so the app doesn't reveal anything on the lock screen
• A plan for the first evening that usually goes wrong

Counting days honestly across time zones and travel

If you travel, your streak still counts calendar days. Don't let a long flight or a time-zone jump become a debate about whether a day "counted". Pick a simple rule, such as using the time where you are, and move on .

Streak counter versus a paper calendar

Some people prefer crossing days off a wall calendar, and that works too. The difference is mostly convenience and privacy. A paper calendar is visible to anyone who walks into your room, can't remind you, and is easy to "forget" to update after a slip. Raze lives on your phone behind your passcode and keeps the count without you doing anything. If you like the physical act of marking days, use both: Raze for the record, and our printable streak tracker for a private notebook. Whatever you use, update it at the same time each day, such as just after you wake up, so it becomes part of your routine rather than something you check when you're tempted.

An example first month

Here's how a first month on the counter might look for someone whose risky time is late at night. Days 1 to 3 are tense; they put the phone in the kitchen at 11 pm and check the count each morning. On day 6 they nearly slip on a Saturday, so they set Saturday-night plans for the next weekend. They reach the 7-day milestone and set 14 straight away. Around day 18 they slip after a stressful week, log it, and restart. The second streak reaches 21 days, longer than the first, and their clean days for the month total 27 out of 30. That's what progress usually looks like: not a perfect line, but longer runs and shorter gaps. This is an illustration, not a prediction.

Streak counter vs a paper calendar

	Raze streak counter	Paper calendar
Visible to others	No, inside a private app	Yes, if left on a wall
Counts automatically	Yes	No, you mark each day
Milestones	Built in	You draw them
Survives losing your phone		Yes
Feels tangible	Less	More

Some people use both: the app for privacy and reminders, and a small diary for a physical record.

Mistakes to avoid with the counter

• Editing the start date to hide a slip. The number looks better, but you lose the record of what went wrong.
• Checking the count dozens of times a day. Once in the morning and once at night is enough.
• Treating a long streak as a reason to drop your supports. Most people who slip after a long run say they had relaxed their rules first.

Streak counter questions

What happens to my streak if I relapse? You log the relapse and the count restarts from that day. Whether past streaks remain visible as a history is .

Can I edit my start date later? whether the start date can be edited after setup.

Does the counter work without an internet connection? .

Can I track more than one habit? Raze is built around one streak. Whether multiple counters are possible is ; if you want to track something else, our free printable streak tracker works on paper.

Some people look for an addiction tracker or addiction counter rather than a NoFap app. The streak counter works the same way as a quit addiction timer: it counts your clean days since your last relapse.
