You're already
doing the work.
hokd shows what works. It's the quiet log that makes your patterns visible — log what you actually did, reflect in your own words, and improve what you repeat.

Track less. Grow more.
Streak apps count the days you missed and reset you to zero. hokd only counts what you climbed — and it stays climbed. Miss a day and the mountain waits exactly where you left it.
One quiet place for the work that compounds.
Not a to-do tool. Not a CRM. Not a habit tracker. A positive record, a space to reflect, and versioned playbooks — together, the exact opposite of streak-and-guilt apps.
Stages, not checkboxes.
You log what you finished, never what you missed. Each stage falls into one of five modes and adds altitude. No streaks held against you, no zero to fall back to.
Themes that grow with you.
Open a theme — how you come across in sales, your writing voice, courage — and write when you have something to say. On-device AI surfaces the patterns and turning points you miss in your own words.
Scripts you can honestly compare.
Version the things you repeat — discovery calls, pitches, rituals. Every run is scored on outcome, confidence and conversion, so v2 can measurably beat v1.
Deep work counts more than admin.
Every stage belongs to one mode. Altitude is weighted so focused, hard work lifts you higher than routine.
Focus
50 mLong, deep blocks. Code, strategy, a hard problem solved.
Make
40 mSomething shipped. A PR merged, an article out, a pitch sent.
Courage
35 mThe uncomfortable thing. A hard talk, a raised price, a no.
Learn
30 mDeliberate practice. A chapter understood, a skill drilled.
Admin
15 mNecessary upkeep. Inbox, bookkeeping, appointments.
Watch it add up.
Altitude counts toward a goal you choose — Mont Blanc, the marathon distance, Everest, your own peak. Lifelong cumulative. Reached summits stay as trophies, each with its own expedition log.
Sunday. Three steps. One anchor.
Each Sunday: name this week's courage, set next week's anchor. The anchor sits at the top of every screen for seven days — gentle, not nagging.
Yours. On your device.
No account, no login, no tracking. Your stages and reflections stay on your device. On iPhone and Mac, AI runs entirely on-device through Apple Intelligence — nothing leaves your phone.

I was the first user.
I'm Jonas. hokd didn't start as a pitch — it started as my own problem: I run my business alone, work every day, and by Sunday I often couldn't say what the week had actually added up to.
No app showed that honestly. They all wanted to "coach" me, hand me a score, a streak that breaks me over one missed day. So I built the thing I wanted to open every day myself: a quiet log that shows only what I really did — and proves, over months, that it compounds.
No growth team, no funnel, no push to drag you back. No account, no tracking. You use hokd when you need it. When you don't, it isn't offended. Something missing or broken? support@balane.tech — I answer myself.
The honest answers.
Is hokd a habit tracker?
No. Habit trackers count the days you missed and reset your streak to zero. hokd is the opposite: you log only what you actually did, it adds altitude on a climb that never goes down, and it never holds a missed day against you.
Do I need an account?
No. There are no accounts, no logins and no tracking. Your data lives on your device and — if you turn it on — syncs through your own private iCloud. Hokd never sees it.
How is my data handled?
Local-first. On iPhone and Mac everything stays on-device, and AI runs on-device through Apple Intelligence — nothing leaves your phone. On Android, AI input is sent to the Hokd backend for the response and is not stored.
What does it cost?
hokd has a generous free tier: logging, reflection and playbooks are free, forever. Pro unlocks the AI layer (syntheses, pattern analysis, playbook reviews) and a few extras — as a subscription or a one-time purchase.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad (iOS 17+), Mac (macOS 14+) and Android (7+). iPhone, iPad and Mac sync via iCloud.
Who is hokd for?
Solopreneurs, freelancers, solo consultants, indie founders and authors — anyone who works without a boss and has to keep going without external pressure.
Start getting better.
Not another streak to keep. The one place that shows whether you're actually moving — toward the thing you're building.
