A streak freeze is an item in the Lingot Store. It prevents the user from losing their streak when they fail to meet their daily goals. On the iOS app, it costs 200 gems.

Description[]

  • The streak freeze can be bought at any time and will stay equipped until you miss a day. If you have bought a streak freeze, it will automatically activate at the end of the next missed day.
  • You can also find streak freezes in chests that you can sometimes earn, after finishing lessons.
  • If you have a streak freeze equipped when you miss a day your count won't go to zero, but it won't increase.
  • Some users can only equip one streak freeze at a time (except for the weekend amulet, see below).
  • However, some can equip 2 streak freezes at a time, each lasting one day.
  • Each streak freeze only preserves your streak for one missed day. After that you have to either buy another streak freeze or do XP-gaining activity on the site to continue your streak.
  • The streak freeze only works on your overall streak. Individual language streaks will still be reset if you miss a day of practice.[1]
  • The streak freeze is proactive, not retroactive. This means you must buy your streak freeze on or before the day you miss. You cannot buy it the next day. Once you lose your streak, it is gone (until you build it back up, of course).

Weekend Amulet[]

The "Weekend Amulet" was as a streak freeze for one or both days of a weekend. Random people would have it available on Fridays in the Duolingo Store. It is sadly no longer available.

Duolingo Streak Society[]

Upon reaching a streak of 100 days, Duolingo gives you 3 additional streak freezes to help you protect your streak. However, these streak freezes are actually not re-purchasable once you use them, and cannot be earned in any way. The only way to get the additional streak freezes back once you use them is to wait for 100 days (so at 200 days, 300 days etc), and then Duolingo will automatically renew your additional 3 streak freezes.

(Please keep in mind that you will still have 2 streak freezes that are purchasable/collectable, giving you a total of 5 streak freezes.)
