For teachers
A habit tracker for teachers that keeps pace with term
Term runs at full speed, then stops dead for the holidays. Streako helps you keep a few habits of your own through marking season and parents' evenings, and pick them up again after the break.
The problem
Why teachers' habits fall apart
- 1
Marking swallows the evenings
Reports, mock papers and planning spill into every free hour. The walk, the book and the early night are the first things to go, and they rarely come back before half term.
- 2
Term and holiday are two different lives
A routine that works in October falls apart in August, and a holiday routine does not survive the first week back. Most trackers expect every week to look the same.
- 3
Sunday evening dread
The weekend ends with a knot in the stomach and a list of unplanned lessons. Without a short ritual to close the week, the dread arrives early and stays.
How Streako helps
Built for teachers, not for a perfect week
Schedules for the school week
Pick school days only, a number of times per week, or every few days. Set start and end dates to match a term.
Pause for the holidays
Pause a term-time habit over the break and pick it up again when school starts, or archive it and start a holiday routine instead.
A staff-room challenge
Share an invite code with colleagues for a reading or walking challenge. Challenges are for adults: staff and friends, not pupils.
A term in review
Completion rates, trends and a heatmap show how your habits fared from the first week to the last, so you can plan next term with real data.
Choosing an app
What to look for in a habit tracker for teachers
The school year has a rhythm most apps ignore. These are the features worth checking, and how Streako handles them.
- Weekday schedules
- Set a habit to school days only, so weekends and the timetable stay separate.
- A way through the holidays
- Pause a habit for the break, or give it start and end dates that match the term.
- Forgiveness for report season
- Freeze tokens cover missed days, and you can log check-ins up to 7 days back.
- A staff challenge
- Colleagues join with a code or QR and share one live leaderboard, with up to 100 people.
- An honest picture of the term
- Completion rates over 30 and 90 days show which habits held up through the busy weeks.
In practice
A school day with a little left for you
A sample term-time weekday. The habits are short on purpose, because the timetable is not.

Up before the rush
Ten quiet minutes before the house wakes and the inbox fills. Weekdays only.
Wake up early: ready-made setup8:00
Water bottle on the desk
Teaching is talking. Add a glass at break and lunch, because that is when you will remember.
Drink water: ready-made setup16:00
Walk before marking
Twenty minutes outside after the last bell, before the pile of books. Steps count toward a daily total.
Walk 10,000 steps: ready-made setup21:00
Read something that is not a set text
Twenty minutes for pleasure. Telling a class what you are reading is a good way to model the habit you want them to have.

Read itWhen Streako isn't the right fit
- You want to track pupils' habits or run a class challenge. Streako is designed for adults, not children, so please do not invite pupils or create accounts for them.
- You need a planner for lessons, marking deadlines or a timetable. Streako tracks things you repeat; pair it with your usual planner.
- You need a school-wide wellbeing tool with admin reporting. Challenges are for colleagues and friends, with no dashboard for leaders.
- You use an iPhone. Streako is Android only for now.
