Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is ChronoStreak?
ChronoStreak is a rule-based productivity system, not a motivation app.
It tracks real focus time, task completion, and consistency using strict logic—so streaks can’t be faked and progress actually means something.
If you want honest discipline instead of dopamine, ChronoStreak is built for you.
How is ChronoStreak different from other productivity apps?
Most productivity apps reward:
-
checking boxes
-
opening the app daily
-
tapping buttons
ChronoStreak rewards:
-
actual focused minutes
-
meeting daily time targets
-
completing a minimum % of your tasks
Miss the rules → the streak breaks.
No loopholes. No artificial motivation.
What exactly is a “streak” in ChronoStreak?
A streak represents continuous days of real effort, not app usage.
To maintain a streak:
- You must hit your daily focus time target
- You must complete a required portion of your daily tasks.
If either fails, the streak fails.
This makes streaks rare, valuable, and honest.
Can I fake or cheat the system?
No.
ChronoStreak is intentionally designed to prevent self-deception.
You can’t:
-
tap to complete fake tasks
-
run timers without intent
-
keep streaks alive with empty activity
If effort isn’t real, the system doesn’t reward it.
What are Targets?
Targets are long-term focus goals.
Examples:
-
Read 30 minutes daily
-
Build your startup 2 hours a day
-
Prepare for exams
-
Learn a new skill consistently
Targets help translate daily work into meaningful progress.
What is the Focus Timer?
The Focus Timer tracks real, uninterrupted work time.
It’s not a Pomodoro clone.
It exists to measure how long you actually worked, not how long you sat at a desk.
Your streak and XP depend on this time.
What are Tasks and To-Dos used for?
Tasks define what qualifies as “real work” for the day.
You don’t need dozens of tasks.
You need clarity.
ChronoStreak uses task completion as a validation layer so time alone isn’t enough.
What is MyTabs?
MyTabs is a personal productivity shortcut system.
You can:
-
save frequently used work links
-
store resources, dashboards, docs, emails
-
reduce browser tab overload
-
open everything you need in one click
Less friction → less decision fatigue → more focus.
What are XP and Diamonds?
-
XP represents effort over time (earned via real focus)
-
Diamonds are premium in-app currency
Diamonds can be used for:
-
Holiday coupons
-
Collections (Will be available soon!)
-
Special features
-
Supporting the platform
Diamonds are never earned through shortcuts.
What are Holiday Coupons?
Holiday Coupons allow you to protect a streak during unavoidable breaks:
-
illness
-
exams
-
travel
-
emergencies
They’re intentionally limited and must be earned or supported for.
ChronoStreak does not believe discipline means ignoring reality.
Is ChronoStreak free?
Yes.
ChronoStreak is free to use, and core productivity features remain accessible.
However:
-
running the platform has real infrastructure costs
-
advanced features may become premium in the future
User support helps us delay paywalls.
How does “Support Us” work?
You can support ChronoStreak via platforms like Ko-fi.
Supporters:
-
help keep the app free
-
receive Diamonds as perks
-
directly contribute to development and infrastructure
This is not charity.
It’s community-powered software.
Why might premium plans exist in the future?
If infrastructure costs grow faster than support, we may:
-
limit free features
-
introduce fair premium tiers
-
keep the core discipline system accessible
We prefer honesty over surprise paywalls.
Is my data safe?
Yes.
ChronoStreak uses modern, secure cloud infrastructure and industry-standard authentication practices.
Your productivity data is never sold and is used only to power your experience.
Can I use ChronoStreak for studying, startups, or fitness?
Yes.
ChronoStreak works best for:
-
students preparing long-term
-
founders building consistently
-
professionals fighting burnout
-
anyone tired of fake productivity
If effort matters to you, it fits.
Is ChronoStreak for beginners?
ChronoStreak is simple to start, but not lenient.
It’s best for people who:
-
want clarity, not motivation
-
value discipline over aesthetics
-
prefer truth over encouragement
Does ChronoStreak replace motivation?
No, and that’s intentional.
ChronoStreak doesn’t motivate you.
It reflects reality.
Discipline grows when feedback is honest.
