Why consistency beats intensity
One 3-hour cramming session the night before an exam is far less effective than 30 minutes a day for two weeks. This is one of the most replicated findings in learning science, and it's the whole reason spaced repetition exists.
Streaks in Kraemon aren't about gamification for its own sake — they're a direct proxy for the behaviour that actually produces results. A long streak means the algorithm has had enough data points to optimise your review schedule properly.
Life happens, so the streak isn't all-or-nothing. Miss a single day and nothing breaks. Miss more than that after passing a milestone — 7, 14, 30, 50 or 100 days — and the streak protects that milestone rather than dropping to zero: come back within 14 days and you resume from there, not from scratch.
- Streak increments after each completed session
- Current streak shown prominently on the dashboard
- Calendar view shows your consistency over months
- One missed day is always forgiven, no questions asked
- Milestones (7/14/30/50/100 days) are protected for 14 days
