DIALFORGE
Streak Face

7-day free trial, then a one-time 3.99 EUR unlock code at dialforge.dev. No subscription.

A big number on your wrist: how many days it has been since the day you chose. Days of a habit, a goal, or just a date you want to keep track of.

  • A big flat day counter in the middle, the time and the date above it.
  • Pick the start date in the Garmin Connect or Connect IQ phone app, or use "Restart from today" in the watch settings. The counter keeps counting after the trial ends.
  • Eight labels under the number: Days, Day streak, Sober days, No sugar, No smoking, Workout days, Reading days, Learning days. They follow the language of your watch.
  • A milestone bar towards 7, 30, 100 and 365 days, then every year. On the day itself the bar is full and a star appears. You can turn it off.
  • Option: count the first day as day 1.
  • Two data fields at the bottom. Defaults: battery and steps.
  • Six colours: Green, Orange, Blue, Violet, Gold and Mono. Date in 13 languages, 12 or 24 hour time, leading zero setting.
  • Always-on mode for AMOLED: dimmed time and counter only, no filled areas, shifted every minute.

The face only counts days. It gives no health advice and makes no promises about any habit.

Data fields: heart rate, steps, battery, distance, calories, floors, active minutes, Body Battery, stress, altitude, notifications, solar, battery days, temperature, sunrise, sunset, next sun event, respiration, SpO2, recovery time, pressure, resting heart rate, VO2 max, sleep score, 5K race prediction, weekly running distance, moon phase, week number, day of year, active calories, weather with icon, wind, humidity, UV, chance of rain, alarms, phone connection, do not disturb, move bar, 10K, half and full marathon predictions, cycling VO2 max, weekly ride distance and a second time zone (a fixed UTC offset, no daylight saving). Defaults: battery and steps.

Garmin does not give watch faces access to HRV status or Training Readiness, so no Connect IQ watch face can show them.

Settings: on the watch (hold MENU, then Watch face, then Customize) or in the Connect IQ app. The start date is picked in the phone app only.

A little request from the maker

Dialforge is my student project. I build these watch faces after classes, so they are still at an early stage, and I could not test every watch model myself. If something looks wrong on your watch, please do not leave a negative rating: write to me first at https://dialforge.dev/faces/streakface/ and I will fix it, usually within 24 hours. A kind review means more to me than you can imagine. And if you like my work, you can buy me a coffee (the link is at the bottom of dialforge.dev): I am saving up to pay for my studies. Thank you for your patience and for giving a young developer a chance.

Manual

Streak Face: user manual

What it does

Streak Face shows a big number: how many days have passed since the day you chose. Days of a habit, a goal, or just a date you want to keep track of. The time and the date are above the counter, two data fields at the bottom. It only counts days and gives no health advice.

Installation

In the Connect IQ app on your phone (or Garmin Connect, then the Connect IQ Store) find "Streak Face" by Dialforge, tap Install and sync the watch. Then hold the watch face (or the menu button), choose Watch Face and select Streak Face.

First launch

A green face with the label Days and milestones on. The counter starts from 0 on the first day, or from the date you set in the phone app. Data fields: battery and steps. The 7-day trial starts the first time the face runs.

Controls

Watches with buttons (START, UP, DOWN, BACK)

  • No actions of its own. Settings: menu button (UP), Watch Face, Customize.

Touch watches (tap, hold, swipe)

  • Tapping a data field opens the matching Garmin screen on the watch, where Garmin provides one.
  • The day counter itself has no touch actions.

Settings

Watch: menu button, Watch Face, Customize. Phone: Connect IQ app, Streak Face, Settings (code fields only there).

  • Counter label: Days, Day streak, Sober days, No sugar, No smoking, Workout days, Reading days, Learning days. Default: Days. The labels follow the language of your watch.
  • Counting since: the start date, picked in the phone app only (Garmin Connect or Connect IQ). When it is set, it wins over the start kept on the watch.
  • Restart from today: a switch in the watch menu only. Sets the counter to 0 from today and clears the phone date.
  • First day counts as 1: on or off. Default: off.
  • Milestones (7, 30, 100, 365): on or off. Default: on. A bar shows the way from the previous milestone to the next (7, 30, 100, 365 days, then every year). On the milestone day the bar is full and a star appears.
  • Colours: Green, Orange, Blue, Violet, Gold, Mono. Default: Green.
  • Left field: default battery. Right field: default steps.
  • Time format: Auto, 12 h, 24 h. Default: Auto.
  • Leading zero: Auto, Always, Never. Default: Auto.
  • Date language: Auto (the watch language), English, Polish. Default: Auto.

Data fields can show heart rate, steps, battery, distance, calories, floors, active minutes, Body Battery, stress, altitude, notifications, solar, battery days, temperature, sunrise, sunset, next sun event, respiration, SpO2, recovery time, pressure, resting heart rate, VO2 max, sleep score, 5K, 10K, half and full marathon predictions, weekly running distance, moon phase, week number, day of year, active calories, weather with icon, wind, humidity, UV, chance of rain, alarms, phone connection, do not disturb, move bar, cycling VO2 max, weekly ride distance and a second time zone (a fixed UTC offset, no daylight saving). Garmin does not give watch faces access to HRV status or Training Readiness, so no Connect IQ watch face can show them.

License

  • Trial: 7 days from the first launch, everything works.
  • Price: 3.99 EUR once at dialforge.dev, no subscription. The 8-character code is tied to your watch's UID.
  • Where to enter it: phone, Connect IQ app, Streak Face, Settings. Read the UID in "UID (dialforge.dev)", buy the code, then type it into "Unlock code".
  • After the trial without a code: look settings return to defaults (the date language setting stays) and UNLOCK DIALFORGE.DEV appears at the bottom. Time and data keep working.

Privacy and permissions

Permissions:

  • Sensor history: used by data fields that read sensor data, for example Body Battery or stress.
  • User profile: used by data fields that need your profile, for example resting heart rate or VO2 max.
  • Complications: used by data fields that read Garmin's own values, for example race predictions or weekly distance.
  • No Internet, background service or phone communication is declared: the face has no color service and sends nothing anywhere.

Troubleshooting

The code does not work. Check that the UID you bought for matches "UID (dialforge.dev)" and type all 8 characters (case is ignored, no 0, O, 1 or I). A code for another face does not fit. Sync, then reopen.

Battery drain? The face has no animation. In low-power mode it redraws once a minute.

What does always-on look like? On AMOLED, always-on shows only the dimmed time and the counter, with no filled areas, shifted every minute. Watches with a MIP screen (Forerunner 245, 255, 55, fēnix 7 and the like) have no always-on mode.

12-hour or 24-hour? Time format: Auto (follows the watch), 12 h or 24 h. The leading zero setting works the same way: Auto, Always or Never.

The counter shows the wrong number. Check the start: a date picked in the phone app wins over "Restart from today". If the start day should count as day 1, turn on "First day counts as 1". The count follows the watch's local date and keeps going after the trial ends.

Permissions and privacy

This product asks the watch for the permissions below. Connect IQ shows them when you install it.

  • Sensor history: Reads recent values stored by the watch (for example Body Battery, stress, heart rate, steps trend).
  • Your profile: Reads your Garmin profile on the watch (for example age, weight, heart rate zones) to calculate values for you.
  • Watch data (complications): Shows data from other watch features, such as battery or steps, on the face.

This product does not use the internet and sends no data to our servers.
