The streak is
the whole trick
Reading every day is easier than reading a lot. Aleph counts consecutive days, and the number gets surprisingly hard to break.

One session a day
A streak day needs a logged session — that's it. Ten minutes before bed counts the same as an hour on a Sunday afternoon, which is the point. The habit is the target, not the volume.
Once a streak passes two weeks, most people report the evening session stops requiring a decision. That is the mechanism doing its job.
Built to be forgiving
Miss a day and the streak resets, but your longest streak stays on your profile permanently. The record is a floor, not something you lose.
You can set a minimum session length so a distracted two minutes doesn't count — useful if you'd rather the streak mean something.
Common questions
- What counts as a streak day?
- Any logged reading session on that calendar day, in your local timezone.
- Do I lose my streak if I travel across timezones?
- No. Streak days are evaluated in your device's local timezone, so a long flight won't cost you a day.
- Can I set a minimum session length?
- Yes. Set a minimum in settings — commonly 10 or 15 minutes — and shorter sessions still log but don't extend the streak.
