You’ve done this before. Day 1 is easy. Then you miss a day, then two, and by day 12 nobody’s counting anymore. Including you. V-click does the counting. How it works: 1. Pick a challenge and how many days it lasts: 7, 21, 30, 100. “30 days” is easier for your brain than “forever”. Not sure? Start with 7 and extend when you’re ready. 2. Tap once a day. That’s the whole job. 3. Watch the calendar fill up. The longer the row of ticks, the harder it is to break. Already started? Add the challenge by start date or by days done. V-click counts the rest. What you get: • Any daily challenge, with a metric (meditate 10 min/day) or without (just meditate) • A calendar inside every challenge • Long-press a day to log mood, an insight or a daily goal • Reminders so you don’t break the chain • A journal with every note and insight in one place • Your progress as an image with a progress bar, ready to share • A quote with a touch of humor every time you check a day. There are 203 of them. • iCloud sync between your devices Free to start. Premium unlocks unlimited challenges and your full history. Pick one challenge. Start today.

Hintik is an app where the people closest to you hint at gifts instead of guessing them. "What would you like?" is an awkward question to answer straight out. And guessing on your own is a lottery. There's a third way: drop a hint. A HINT GOES TO ONE PERSON To the one you actually want to tell, not to everyone at once. Paste a link and the name, price and photo fill themselves in. Hint at things and at experiences alike: a concert, a dinner, a trip for two. THE SURPRISE STAYS A SURPRISE When someone is preparing a gift for you, it gets marked privately: "bought" or "planned". You won't see it — not the mark, not a sign that it's there. That's how the app is built; it isn't a switch anyone can flip by accident. A WISH LIST YOU'RE HAPPY TO SEND Keep your own list and send its link — it opens for people who don't have the app. Need a separate one for a birthday, a housewarming or your child? Make as many as you like; each gets its own link. NOBODY BUYS THE SAME GIFT TWICE Whoever is getting an item marks it, and everyone else sees that it's taken. The person whose list it is sees none of that. A LIST YOU CAN KEEP TOGETHER Parents keep one for their kids, friends go in on a gift together, a family chips in on one thing. Everyone adds their own, everyone sees the same list. DATES, RIGHT NEXT TO WHAT THE PERSON WANTS Birthdays, anniversaries and occasions of your own. Open a person and you see the date and their wishes at once. Not on Hintik yet? Hint anyway — it waits until they join. FREE • As many people as you like • Hints for things and for experiences • Your own wish list and a link to it • Separate lists for every occasion • The wish lists of your people and the "I'm getting this" mark • Your first photos • The basic reaction, "seen" and "the gift arrived" HINTIK PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS For whoever does the organising in the family: • Shared lists for several people • The exact variant — size, volume, colour — with its own price and photo • Photos without a limit • Who sees a list, what stays yours alone and how long a link lives • A cheat sheet on every person: size, colour, favourites • Shared dates, every occasion and a reminder before the day • "I want one too" — someone else's item into your list in one tap • Unlimited hints, the full archive, every reaction, your own colour Buy once, keep it for good.
