## What is Hokd?

A habit tracker counts how often you show up. Hokd shows whether you are actually getting better.

Built for solo founders, indie makers, and freelancers working toward a real business goal. No hustle-bro noise. No empty status bars. Just an honest record of the work and proof you are moving forward.

REFLECTION
Capture quick notes on the go. On-device Apple Intelligence finds the turning points and patterns hidden in your own words, so you stop talking yourself into things and start seeing what is real.

PLAYBOOKS
Version your pitch, script, or routine. Score every run as a win, neutral, or loss, and watch your real hit rate climb over time.

THE MOUNTAIN
Every stage and every lesson becomes altitude. The climb only goes up. A loss you learn from is a step forward, and nothing here resets to zero. Become unstoppable through many small steps.

LOGBOOK
Your real work in one private record. Daily logging fits into a few seconds, and a home screen widget keeps your next step in view.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. Your data stays in your own iCloud and syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

HOKD PRO
Try Hokd Pro free for 14 days, then choose monthly or a one-time lifetime unlock. Pro is where Hokd works for you: it reads your logbook back to you, turns playbooks into cards, suggests a pace, and keeps every evaluation in one archive you can export. Your logbook, reflection, playbooks and recaps stay free.

Get better instead of talking yourself into it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-19

Feedback from inside the app now opens a prepared email to the developer. The button previously opened a web page.
Smaller corrections and cleanup.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-01

Bug fixes and improvements.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-23

1.3 — losing counts too.

· Reflect the setbacks, not just the wins — a loss you learn from becomes a step forward, not a broken streak
· The mountain only goes up: every stage and every lesson becomes altitude
· More languages, cleaner translations
· Stability fixes

Same Hokd. A little steadier.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-01

A clearer Hokd, built around four questions:
What did I do today? What do I want this week? Where can I reflect? What playbooks do I have?

In this version:

— Sunday ritual: a tighter three-step weekly anchor flow
— Reflection themes: Apple Intelligence synthesis runs on-device on iOS 26+
— Playbooks: Bayesian-smoothed scoring, so a v3 with few uses is fairly compared against a v1 with many
— Identity Mirror: monthly question returns silently in every weekly review
— Ascent: past summits keep their full climb journal as trophies
— Quieter notifications: Day 1 nothing, Day 2 a line, Day 4 a question, Day 7+ silence

Thanks for using Hokd. Tell us what's working: support@balane.tech

### 1.1.2 — 2026-05-18

1.1.2 — quiet maintenance.

· Mac app: App Review fixes, cleaner CSV export, no more freeze on large histories
· Long-press to delete a reflection entry
· More languages, cleaner translations
· Stability fixes in the Reflection tab

Same Hokd. A little steadier.
