Habits

Features
Everything your mind needs, in one quiet place
Write, check in, notice patterns and keep small habits, in a journal that turns each day into a point of light. Here is everything inside, and what each plan includes.
Journal
12 ways to begin, one page to come back to
Every day opens on a prompt you can start typing into straight away, drawn from a library of 64. When you want structure, pick a template; when you do not, the blank page is always there.

Check-ins
Feelings, not forms
The check-in is a two-axis pad: how pleasant you feel, and how much energy you have. As you move, a breathing orb changes colour and pace. Add a few feeling words and what is affecting you, and every check-in feeds your sky and your Insights.
- Mood check-ins on every plan, as often as you like
- Feeling words for bright, calm, low and tense moments
- Factors like sleep, work, people and weather, to see what moves you
Right now you feel

Insights and reflections
Patterns in your own words, found privately
Insights shows your mood over time, what tends to come before your better days, when you write most and the themes you return to. Reflections read an entry back to you with two observations and a question to go deeper.
None of this involves an outside AI. Reflections come from a rule-based engine that runs on our own servers: the same entry always gets the same reading, and your writing is never sent to a third party or used to train anything.
What each plan sees
- 30 days of Insights free; your whole history with Pro
- 3 private reflections a month free; unlimited with Pro
- A weekly letter about your week (a preview on Free, in full with Pro)
- "Ask your journal": questions answered from your own entries (Pro)
Habits and tasks
Small rituals, kept gently
Habits live in rings, not guilt trips, and a short task list sits beside your journal so the things on your mind have somewhere to go.
Tasks
- 20 open tasks in 3 lists on Free, unlimited on Pro
- Quick add, due dates and lists that stay out of the way
- Tick things off without leaving the page you are writing on
Wellness
The body keeps the score, so keep one too
Log the basics when you want to, and see how they sit beside your mood. Nothing here nags you to hit a number.
Sleep
Hours and how rested you feel, so you can see what a short night does to the next day.
Water
Tap to fill a glass. Small, and oddly satisfying.
Movement
Minutes of anything that got you moving. No steps to chase.
Mindful minutes
Breathing sessions and quiet time, logged in one tap.
Breathing
Guided patterns with a breathing orb, for the moments the day runs hot.
Stress
A quick read of how wound up you are, set beside your mood.
Guided pathways
When you want a path, not a prompt
Short programmes with a written plan for every day: a reflection, a prompt and one small action. Free pathways open in full; the rest open their first 2 days on Free, and everything with Pro.

Your inner life is not a data source
Subscription-only, no ads, and no third-party AI. We don't claim end-to-end encryption, because our servers read entries to draw your sky and write reflections; here is what we do promise, on every plan.
- Private to your account, encrypted in transit and at rest
- Never sold, and never used to train AI models
- Export everything, or delete it, any time
Take it with you
Download a complete copy of your journal, check-ins, habits, tasks and pathway notes from Settings, on every plan including Free. Portability is a right, not an upsell.
Or leave for good
Deleting your account removes everything tied to it. No retention games, no “are you sure” maze. Read the privacy policy.
