How is my streak calculated?
From the quit date you set, live, down to the hour. Your best streak is kept separately, so a slip never erases the proof of what you have already done.
How is money saved worked out?
From your own numbers: how much you told Vow you use and what it costs, multiplied by your clean time, shown in the currency you pick in Settings. For gambling and shopping Vow counts money not lost instead.
What is "time reclaimed"?
For habits measured in time rather than money — porn, gaming and social media — Vow estimates the hours you are winning back from your typical use.
What is the "Don't break the chain" calendar?
A month grid where every clean day fills in. Slips are marked honestly, never shamefully. Once a few days are strung together, keeping the chain going becomes its own motivation.
What does Insights show?
Your clean days across every habit, total saved, urges beaten, resist rate, best streak and active quits, plus a streak history for each habit. Clean days are free; the rest of Insights is part of Premium.
How do achievements work?
There are 18, from your first check-in and your first Craving Shield session to a full year free. They are earned once and kept, even if you slip later.
