Pacer motivates you by tracking how many days in a row you hit your daily step goal. This consecutive-days count is called your streak. A longer streak shows you've consistently met your goals, which helps build a healthy walking habit. But sometimes life happens — travel, illness or a busy day can cause you to miss your goal. To reduce frustration and keep your momentum, Pacer offers a feature called Streak Repair.
How streaks work in Pacer
When you first meet your daily step goal two days in a row, Pacer starts a streak. Each additional day that you meet or exceed your goal adds one to your streak total. If you don't reach the goal on any given day, your streak ends and resets to zero. Streaks are purely motivational — they don't affect your step data or health metrics, but many Pacers enjoy them as a way to stay accountable.
What is Streak Repair?
Streak Repair lets you restore a streak after missing a day. Instead of losing your entire streak, you can "repair" the broken day and continue counting from where you left off. This keeps you on track and removes the discouragement of starting over.
Premium feature or Gems. Streak Repair is available to Pacer Premium members (one free repair per calendar month) or can be purchased from the Pacer Shop for 500 Gems.
In the Pacer app, you'll see a prompt to repair your streak whenever you miss your goal.
Key points about Streak Repair:
- 7-day window. Streak Repair allows you to restore a streak that was broken within the last 7 days. If the break happened more than 7 days ago, the streak cannot be restored.
- One repair at a time. You can only repair the most recent missed day — not multiple days at once.
- Premium or Gems. Premium subscribers receive one free Streak Repair per calendar month. Additional repairs can be purchased from the Pacer Shop for 500 Gems each.
- Not retroactive for steps. Streak Repair only preserves your streak counter; it does not add steps to your daily total or affect challenge or league standings.
How to use Streak Repair
Follow these steps on either iOS or Android:
- Open Pacer and tap the flame icon on the home screen to enter the Streak details page.
- Find Streak Repair and tap it — a confirmation screen will appear.
- Tap USE to confirm. The streak broken within the last 7 days will be repaired.
If you do not see a Streak Repair option, you may have already used your repair for the month, or your Gems balance may be insufficient. Premium subscribers can also purchase additional repairs from the Pacer Shop for 500 Gems.
