HasmadaAsk anyone who's kept a long Daf Yomi run what keeps them going, and "I don't want to break the streak" comes up again and again. A visible chain of days is a quiet, daily nudge back to the Gemara. But most habit apps have a fatal flaw for a frum learner: they break your streak on the very days you're meant to rest.
Hasmada was built with that in mind. Its streaks are Shabbos- and Yom-Tov-aware, following the Jewish calendar so the days you can't log never count against you.
How to build a streak that lasts
- Follow the daf Add Shas Bavli and follow the Daf Yomi cycle so today's daf is always ready. Full Daf Yomi tracking guide →
- Turn on a daily reminder Pick a time that fits your seder. A gentle nudge before the day ends catches the days you'd otherwise forget.
- Log the moment you finish Under fifteen seconds keeps the habit frictionless — the easier it is, the longer the chain.
- Trust the calendar Don't stress about Shabbos, Yom Tov or Chol HaMoed. Hasmada protects those days for you.
- Aim for milestones Your first 7-day streak, your best streak, your first siyum — small wins that keep the momentum honest.
Fell behind? A streak is a motivator, not a judge. Log today, keep learning, and let the chain start climbing again. The goal is the daf — the streak is just there to help.
Does the streak really know about Yom Tov?
Yes — it follows the Jewish calendar, so Shabbos, Yom Tov and other days you're not logging are protected automatically.
Can I keep streaks for more than one thing?
Your daily streak reflects your overall learning, so any sefer you log keeps it alive — the daf, Halacha, Mishnah and more.
Start a streak that holds.
Shabbos-safe, reminder-backed, and free. Don't break the chain.
