After you press Add one in the Daily Habit Counter, your result appears in two places on the same page: a current streak that counts consecutive local calendar days with at least one saved action, and a Daily history list that shows the date and number of actions for every day that has a record. The streak answers whether the action continued from one local day to the next, while the history answers what actually happened on each specific date. Both views are built from the same number you entered, but they answer different questions, and you do not need to switch screens to see them. The streak and the dated rows update as soon as a new Add one or Undo one is pressed, so a quick glance is enough to see where you are today. When you want a file outside the browser, Export PNG and Export CSV turn those same numbers into a portable record without sending them anywhere first.
What the Daily Habit Counter Actually Shows You
The Daily Habit Counter is intentionally narrow: it tracks one repeated action, one number at a time, and surfaces the result in two visible forms. The streak is the running count of consecutive local calendar days on which at least one action is saved. The Daily history is the dated list of every day on which a number was recorded. A third option, Export PNG or Export CSV, lets you take a copy of those same numbers out of the browser when you want a file rather than a glance.
The streak and the history come from the same underlying record, but they answer different questions. The streak tells you whether the habit carried over from yesterday to today. The history tells you how many actions happened on a specific date, including dates before the current streak started. If you add three actions on Monday, one on Tuesday, then skip Wednesday, the streak on Thursday is one, the Monday row shows three, the Tuesday row shows one, and there is no Wednesday row at all. Empty days are not shown as activity; they only break the streak.
| Result surface | What it shows | When it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Streak number | Consecutive local calendar days ending today, each with at least one saved action | Updates after Add one or Undo one on any local date |
| Daily history | One row per local date with a saved count, with date and number of actions | Updates after Add one or Undo one; empty days are not displayed |
| Export PNG | 1080x1350 image with the Lizely mark, total count, and recent local-day rows | Refreshed only when you press the Export PNG button |
| Export CSV | Spreadsheet with Date, Actions, and the streak ending on that day, one row per saved day | Refreshed only when you press the Export CSV button |
Reading the Local-Calendar Streak
The streak is based on dates, not on the size of any count. Recording five actions today still counts as one streak day. The next streak day is the next local calendar date on which at least one action is saved. If tomorrow has no saved action, the streak resets to zero and starts again from zero the next time you record something. That is by design: the streak answers whether the action continued, not whether the action was intense.
The calculation uses the local calendar date reported by your device, including month and leap-year boundaries. A late-night action pressed at 11:55 PM and another pressed at 12:05 AM are recorded on two different local dates, not merged into one. The page does not shift a midnight entry by a UTC timestamp; it keeps a late-night action with that local evening. This means the streak behaves the way your wall calendar behaves, which is usually what a personal habit record should do.
Check Your Daily History in Three Steps
- Open the Daily Habit Counter page in your current browser. The streak number and the Daily history list both load from the saved actions already in this browser on this device; nothing needs to be retrieved from elsewhere.
- Read the streak value at the top of the history block. That number is the count of consecutive local calendar days, ending today, that each contain at least one saved action.
- Scan the Daily history rows below the streak. Each row shows a local date and the number of actions saved on that date. Days with zero actions do not appear, so the list is a record of activity, not a calendar with blanks. Use Undo one if a row looks wrong; reducing today's count to zero removes today's row entirely.
Exporting Your Results as PNG or CSV
When a glance is not enough and you want a file outside the browser, two buttons on the same page do the job. Export PNG creates a 1080 by 1350 image with the Lizely mark, a total count, and the most recent local-day rows. The image does not contain a web address and does not include your custom habit label, which reduces the chance that a shared image exposes a private note. Export CSV creates a spreadsheet-friendly file with three columns: Date, Actions, and the streak ending on that day. The CSV has exactly one row for every local day with a saved count, in date order, so it opens directly in a spreadsheet without cleanup.
Both files are created directly in the browser using native canvas and Blob APIs. No record is sent to a conversion service, and nothing about your numbers leaves the device before the file lands in your downloads folder. If you want to compare the result to a previous export, the rows and column names stay consistent, so a CSV from this week lines up with a CSV from last week.
When a Result Looks Wrong
Sometimes the result does not look the way you expected, and the fix is usually visible on the page. If the streak dropped to zero overnight, check whether an action was actually saved on the missing day. The Daily history shows only days that have a saved count, so a missing row means zero actions on that date. To start the streak again, press Add one on a new day; the streak begins from that day forward.
If the count for today looks too high, press Undo one. Each press removes one saved action from today. If today's count returns to zero, the day is removed from the history and the streak is recalculated from the remaining rows. The Undo button removes a mistaken action. If your custom label is missing from the export, that is by design: the PNG deliberately omits the custom label so a shared image is less likely to expose a personal note, and the CSV uses the same Date, Actions, and streak columns every time.
Why Results Stay in This Browser
The Daily Habit Counter does not sign you in, upload your numbers, or sync them to another device. The streak and Daily history are saved in this browser, on this device, using local browser storage. Clearing this site's browser data removes the saved record. Opening the same page in another browser, or on another device, starts with an independent empty history.
This is a deliberate boundary: a private habit note should not be presented as if it were safely backed up somewhere else. If local browser storage is disabled or full, the open page can still show the action you just changed and explains that it cannot retain it. That message explains that the page cannot retain it; otherwise, what you see in the streak and history is what is stored. If you want a longer-term copy, export PNG or CSV after the days you care about have been recorded, and keep the file yourself.
When a Different Counter Fits Better
The Daily Habit Counter is a good fit when you want a preset label plus a visible local-calendar streak. If your task is shaped differently, a sibling tool may be closer to what you need. Use Online Tally Counter for an adjustable general click step without a habit label or streak. Use Workout Rep Counter for completed sets and rest timing rather than a single daily habit. Use Tasbih Counter for 33 and 99 round targets.
