Most focus apps weaponize streaks. Miss a day → guilt → quit. We're not doing that here. Here's the rule the blob lives by: rest is not failure. A skipped day isn't a relapse. The metric that matters is whether you came back, not whether you maintained perfect attendance.
Streaks are good for one thing: making the easy days slightly more rewarding. They're terrible at the actual job — getting you to show up on the hard days. On hard days, streaks make showing up *more* expensive, because now you're not just trying to focus, you're also defending a number. That's how people quit.
So FocusBlobs doesn't track streaks the punishing way. We measure focus minutes, accuracy, on-task ratio. None of those break if you skip a day. They just dip a little, and they recover the moment you come back. The blob will gently call you out if you tab away mid-session. It will not call you out for taking Saturday off.
You're building a relationship with your time. Healthy relationships have rest days.
