🏆Day Streaks
How day streaks work, what keeps one alive, and how to rescue a day you missed.
Maintaining a day streak is a cornerstone of learning a language. It uses the power of habit to turn an overwhelming task into a manageable daily investment of time and effort.
How it works
Show up every day. Simply opening LangX credits the day and keeps your streak alive. A day with nothing to say should not cost you two hundred of them.
Do something that counts, to earn the bonus. The milestone rewards at 7, 30, 100 days and beyond are paid for a day you actually practised — send a message, write a correction, or answer a pronunciation request. Open the app in the morning and write a correction that evening, and the bonus is paid then. The streak is about showing up; the tokens are about practising.
One increment a day. A streak grows by +1 per day, no matter how long you stayed. Consistency is the thing being measured, not session length.
Your day, not a server's day. The streak runs on your own local day, which is why the timezone on your profile can only be changed once a week — an unrestricted timezone field would be a streak-repair button.
Rescuing a missed day
A broken streak used to be gone for good. It is not any more: a streak freeze costs 200 tokens, and if you miss a day, one is spent automatically and the streak survives.
You can bank two at a time. Enough for real life, not enough to make the streak meaningless.
A freeze covers the next day you miss — it does not reach back. For a day you have already missed, you can still buy it back for 600 tokens: from the store in your wallet, which offers the most recent day you missed, or by tapping the empty square on your activity map. Within the last 14 days, twice a month, and never today. If the day you fill sat between two runs, they join and your streak becomes the whole length.
Milestones
Reaching a milestone pays a bonus:
7 days
50
30 days
250
100 days
1,000
180 days
1,500
365 days
5,000
730 days
12,000
1,095 days
25,000
The 100- and 365-day milestones also give Pro: 1 month and 3 months, once each. See Getting Pro Free.
Beyond the bonuses, showing up daily is also the surest way to a share of the daily pool, since the pool is worked out from what you actually did that day.
Leaderboards 🏆
The streak page carries its own table, ranked by days. Two tabs: Now, the run each member is holding at the moment, and Longest, the best they have ever held. A streak has to be alive to appear under Now — somebody who stopped weeks ago keeps their number in Longest but drops off the current table, so it is a table of people who are showing up, not of people who once did.
The token leaderboards — weekly, monthly, yearly and all-time, ranking tokens earned — live in your wallet under your balance.
Your own rank is always shown on both, even when you are outside the top of the table.
Coming back after a break
If you had a streak in an older version of LangX, it was frozen rather than lost. You can spend tokens to bring it back when you return. See LangX Token.
