## What is Instead?

Replace a bad habit with something you choose. Instead is a simple journal for recording what you did differently, with time spent and money redirected towards your alternatives.

Instead of scrolling, you went for a walk. Instead of snacking, you read a chapter. Choose one habit to focus on and build a record of the choices that matter to you.

RECORD YOUR ALTERNATIVES
Choose a suggested activity or write your own. Add the time you spent and, if useful, the money you spent on that alternative.

START NOW OR LOG IT LATER
Use the live timer while you do something different, or add an entry afterwards. You can edit your entries when you need to.

SEE YOUR CHOICES ADD UP
Review your entries and totals by day, week, month, year or all time. Keep amounts in your preferred currency.

SIMPLE AND PERSONAL
No account required. Your habit and entry records are stored on your device. Instead is free to use and has no ads. An optional coffee tip supports development and unlocks no extra features.

Pick one habit. Do something different. Record it in Instead.
