A work journal for the work nobody sees.
Meetings are on record. Shipped projects get seen. But the follow-up, the rewritten pitch, the hour of deliberate practice: the work that actually carries a solo business happens with no witness. A work journal is how it stops disappearing.
One line, not a diary entry
The reason most work journals die in week two is that they ask for too much. Hokd asks for a stage: one line about what you did, and which of the five modes it belonged to. Ten seconds. If you want to write more, the reflection themes are there, but nothing in the app waits for an essay.
Readable a month later
A journal is only worth keeping if you can read it back. Entries are sorted by mode and by the goal they belong to, so a month is not a wall of text but a shape: where the deep work went, when the courage moments happened, how much was maintenance. That is the view that changes decisions.
Yours, on your device
A work journal holds client names, doubts, numbers you would not post anywhere. Hokd has no account and no server to sign into. Entries stay on your device unless you switch on iCloud sync, and on iPhone and Mac the AI features run on-device through Apple Intelligence.
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.
