What is Basalt? most days, you won't open this app. you write down what you want to follow through on, and how many times a week. then you tick it off on the home screen. that is the whole interaction. more than one routine run several at once, each with its own weekly frequency. three runs a week, one call home on sunday, twenty minutes of reading on weekdays. they sit side by side, no ranking, no main one. a routine can end give a routine a target span if you want one. when the span is over, the routine is done. finished, not abandoned. there is no streak growing forever that has to be defended — a missed tuesday is a missed tuesday, not a reason to delete the app. leave the span empty and a routine simply keeps going. the widget is the product check in from the home screen, without opening anything. the app is where you set a routine up, look at the plan, and change what it asks of you. most days you never get that far. plan and calendar the plan view shows what the week asks of you. export it to your calendar if you would rather have it there. one person, read only share a single routine with one person, by code or QR. they can see how it is going. they cannot edit it, cannot nudge you, cannot take it over. it is a window, not a handle. quiet on purpose monochrome, no accent colour, follows light and dark. no feed, no profile, no points, no leaderboard, nothing to scroll. the app has no reason to keep you in it. when the phone is the thing in the way basalt can shut the apps and websites that pull at you — on demand when you want an hour back, or on a schedule at night. you pick what gets shut in apple's own screen time picker, and the app never learns what you picked. the selection stays on your device. it is friction, not a lock you cannot pick — friction is usually the part that was missing. routines, check-ins, the widget, the plan and sharing are free and stay free. the shutting part is the paid upgrade. basalt does not promise you will follow through. it keeps the record where you already look, and gets out of the way. premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. it renews unless you turn it off in your App Store settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. purchases can be restored in the app. terms: https://getklar.org/basalt/terms privacy: https://getklar.org/basalt/privacy ##

Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.1.1 — 2026-08-27 a focus can take time to let go you can give a focus a waiting time: ten, twenty or sixty minutes. tapping it off no longer opens the phone right away, it starts a clock. when the clock runs out the apps come back, and until then the shield stands. it is off by default, and a focus you never gave a waiting time behaves exactly as before. a focus is held either by a person or by a clock, never by both, so a focus that is in a pact cannot also carry a waiting time. the widget keeps the place a routine tied to a place can no longer be ticked off from the home screen. a widget cannot read where you are, so it must not offer a day it has no way to confirm. it says where the routine counts instead, and a tap opens basalt, where the reason is on screen. routines without a place are untouched, and the widget ticks them off exactly as it always did. ### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-24 where a routine counts a routine can now be tied to a place. the gym, the pool, the park at the end of the road. you set the place by standing in it, and from then on the day is ticked off there or not at all. there is no map and no address search, on purpose. the place is what your phone measures where you stand, and that is exactly what it compares against later. basalt also proposes how far the place should reach, based on how accurate the reading was on that spot, so a gym in a basement does not end up with a place it can never confirm. when your phone cannot tell indoors a phone is sometimes simply unsure, and that is not the same as being somewhere else. so you choose what happens: keep the button shut, let a photo stand for it, or let it through. being somewhere else keeps the button shut either way. what stays yours the place is private. the person you keep a pact with never sees where it is, only whether a day was confirmed. your position is read while you tick off and not kept, and never in the background. places are optional. a routine without one behaves exactly as before. ### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-13 this is basalt now, and it is not the same app any more. routines instead of appointments. you write down what you want to follow through on and how many times a week, and you tick it off on the home screen. · several routines at once, each with its own weekly frequency · a routine can end — give it a span, or leave it open · a plan view, and export to your calendar · share one routine with one person, read only · rebuilt from scratch: monochrome, light and dark and when the phone is the thing in the way, basalt can shut the apps and sites that pull at you — on demand, or on a schedule at night. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-28 Wavelength now speaks 5 languages in the App Store: English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. Inside the app you'll find 8 languages including Portuguese, Dutch and Polish. Polish and bug fixes across the planning flow. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-12 • AutoFind: one tap and the app finds the time slot most people can make in 4 seconds. • Sport mode or both: pick at startup whether you only manage sport teams or also friend groups. • Group invites via QR or link now open the app directly and add you automatically. • Polish across the planning flow, sport lineup grid, and heatmap view. ## More apps by Alain Kessler - [Anime Vault](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/anime-vault/id6759915617) - [Kelva](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kelva/id6761271923) - [ThrottleUp](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/throttleup/id6761712527) - [My Yarn Stash](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-yarn-stash/id6761712550) - [Trubel](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/trubel/id6766649400) All apps by Alain Kessler: https://appshunter.io/developer/1881621564 ## Related topics [alain kessler](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/alain-kessler) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
