Extending a streak[]
Toextend your streak for a given day, you must complete a lesson before midnight (12:00).[3] .
If you are using a Duolingo app in offline mode, you need to go online before the midnight deadline to ensure your activity counts for that day.[4]
For example, "timezone": "Europe/Moscow" goes with "timezone_offset": "+0400". Searching here for Moscow we'll see that it's actually UTC+3. Thus, we should expect Duolingo to start a new day at 11pm, not at midnight. But, your streak extends only if you've done a lesson after midnight.
How to get a day of streak? Well, just finish a lesson after midnight.
Streak rewards[]
- You can purchase a "Double or Nothing" wager in the shop which will reward you (or 50 gems) for maintaining your streak for seven days.[5] Note that some users are further challenged to 14 and 30 days, which double the reward every time.
- Reaching certain milestones (such as 100 day streak) can earn the user 3 days free of Super Duolingo. If, however, you use the web instead of the app to extend your streak, you will still get the 3 free days of Super Duolingo.
- The Streak Society, claimed as the most exclusive club in Duolingo, is unlocked once a user maintained a 30 day streak. Further rewards are unlocked at 100 and 365 days.
Trivia[]
- The Streak icon was redrawn during 2019.
- The price of Streak freeze was increased in iOS.
Notes[]

- You can freeze your streak to avoid it resetting from a day of inactivity by buying a streak freeze in the gems store
- If you lose your streak you will still have 3 days to complete a special set of lessons to revive it/get it back
- If you encounter any technical problems with your streak(s), you can report them in theTroubleshooting discussion section or by using the "Support" tab on the left edge of the Duolingo website.
- The Streak Hall of Fame is maintained by Duome. You can check their website.
- The time zone Duolingo judges your streak by is initially set to the time zone you were in when you created your account. There is no way to change this time zone using the website but you can change the device time,[6] so if you only use the website and you move to a different time zone your "streak midnight" might not match your local midnight. Doing activity on one of the mobile apps, however, will automatically update your streak time zone to your device's current one.[7]
- Some timezones are processed incorrectly. To check your timezone, open your profile's page, look into source code (ctrl+U in Firefox) and search for "timezone" and "timezone_offset". Then, find your timezone at list of timezones and check if offset there matches your "timezone_offset". If it does not, some parts of your day may be attributed to a day before or after.
- Super Duolingo, users receive a free Streak Repair each month which will apply if the user miss their lessons.
