Streaks & Motivation
Daily streaks, milestones, celebrations, team streaks, and the batch log for catching up on missed days.
Streaks & Motivation
PayMe tracks your daily tracking consistency and turns it into visible momentum. The goal isn't gamification for its own sake — it's making the honest habit of logging time feel rewarding.
Daily streaks
A streak counts consecutive workdays where you logged at least one time entry. Weekends and approved leave days don't break streaks — only workdays with zero logged time do.
Your current streak appears on the home screen and in the Telegram morning briefing.
| Streak length | Visual |
|---|---|
| 1–4 days | Counter only |
| 5–9 days | Counter + flame icon |
| 10–24 days | Larger flame |
| 25+ days | Gold flame |
Milestones
At specific streak thresholds, PayMe shows a milestone celebration:
| Milestone | Trigger |
|---|---|
| First week | 5 consecutive days |
| Two weeks | 10 consecutive days |
| One month | 20 consecutive days |
| Quarter | 60 consecutive days |
Milestones are personal — only you see them. They appear as a brief animation on the home screen and a Telegram message.
Celebrations
Beyond streaks, PayMe celebrates meaningful work events:
- Task completed — a brief "done" animation when marking a task complete
- All tasks done for today — a "clear day" celebration
- Project completed — confetti when the last task on a project is marked done
- Personal best — when you beat your longest streak
Celebrations are lightweight and dismissible. They never block your workflow.
Team streaks
If enabled by the PM, the team page shows a collective streak — consecutive workdays where every active member logged at least one entry. Team streaks reset if any member misses a day.
Team streak milestones appear in the team channel (Telegram group) as a shared celebration.
Team streaks are opt-in. PMs enable them from the team settings page. Members with approved leave are excluded from the daily check.
Batch log ("I forgot to track")
Missed a few days? The batch log lets you catch up without entering one entry at a time.
- Open Quick log → Batch mode (or tell the bot "ho dimenticato di tracciare")
- PayMe shows each missed workday with your agenda for that day
- For each day, confirm the suggested entries or adjust durations
- Submit all at once
Batch log preserves your streak for past days — if you fill in the gaps before your next workday, the streak stays unbroken.
Batch log only covers the last 7 workdays. Older gaps require manual entries one by one.
