Common questions
Why does my streak say zero after I did drills yesterday?
The streak counts calendar days with at least one correct drill, evaluated in your device's local timezone. If you crossed midnight mid-session, the next day's streak starts fresh — that drill counts toward the new day. A "freeze" feature for skipped days is on the roadmap.
A drill marked me wrong, but I'm sure my answer was correct.
The matcher is intentionally permissive about flag order and quoting, but strict about exact command names. If you typed tail -50 /var/log/syslog and the canonical answer was tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog, both should be accepted. If yours was not, please send the prompt and your typed answer to the email above — accepted-answer expansions ship in every minor update.
I lost my progress.
Progress is stored in the app's local Application Support directory. iOS preserves it across app updates but removes it on uninstall. There is no cloud backup in v1. If you backed up your iPhone with encrypted backups (iCloud or Finder), restoring that backup will restore your progress as well.
How do I disable the daily reminder?
In the app: Profile → Settings → Daily reminder → off. From iOS: Settings → Notifications → Terminal Drill → Allow Notifications → off.
Will Terminal Drill ever execute real commands?
No. Drills are evaluated by string matching against curated answers. The app does not have shell access and never will — it's a learning environment, not a terminal.
