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.

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.
