Life happens — so each streak includes one grace day. The first day you skip without pausing consumes it quietly and the streak keeps going. If you miss again after that, the streak ends. There's no backdating, no “catch-up” slot for an earlier day, and no third chance. The gap stays visible on your public calendar because that honesty is the point.

When a streak ends, it moves to the graveyardon your public profile. It isn't hidden behind a private toggle. If the record could be wiped whenever you felt embarrassed, it would be easy to curate a fake win streak — and you wouldn't trust yourself, or anyone else, to take the number seriously. The only way to remove that history is to delete your whole account (which removes your data for real). If that feels heavy, good: it's supposed to.

The timeline only works if it's a record, not a draft you can rewrite when the story gets inconvenient. You can pause before trouble hits, finish a streak, or let it fail— but you can't quietly delete a bad week and pretend it didn't happen. That restraint is what makes showing up count.

Pause is something you turn on before the day you'd miss: it freezes the calendar window for that streak, up to 7 days per challenge, planned. Grace is reactive — you get exactly one automatic mulligan when a day slips through. Different tools, different rules; using pause on purpose is usually kinder to future-you than burning grace by accident.

Open the dashboard, jot 1–3 bullets, choose a tone, tap Ship today's update, then copy and paste wherever you actually publish. That's the whole loop — we skip heavy editors and scheduling on purpose so the habit stays lightweight. ShipStreak never auto-posts to X, LinkedIn, or anywhere else: you stay in control, and we don't depend on brittle OAuth pipes that break when a platform changes its API again.

On Free, your bullets slot into a fixed template — predictable and fast. On Pro, you can use clean or hype polish: wording is tightened or punched up while the structure stays tied to what you typed. If the polish service is down, Pro falls back to the same template as Free, so you're never stuck.

Your username, optional display name, completion calendar, streak stats, finished runs, and graveyard. Your raw bullets and generated post text stay private to your dashboard. Each streak row links to a public detail page at https://yourname.shipstreak.space/your-streak-slug (or the same path on your verified custom domain if you're on Pro).

Free gives you one active streak at a time, a fixed 7-day length, the raw template output, and your public profile with a small ShipStreak watermark. Pro unlocks more parallel streaks, custom durations, tone polish, and optional custom domain routing — see the pricing section for current plans and billing options.

Yes, on Pro. In your account settings you'll add the hostname, place the TXT record we show to prove ownership, then verify. After that, visitors hitting your domain see the same public profile as on your {username}.shipstreak.space URL.

No feeds, likes, comments, or follower graphs. It's a personal execution record you can share by link — closer to a proof-of-work page than a timeline app. The accountability comes from the visible calendar and the graveyard, not from engagement metrics or notifications from strangers.
