Track daily habits, follow routines and see your effort take shape. Hexis is a private habit tracker and journal with a paper-and-ink feel—one deliberate mark at a time. SEE YOUR EFFORT ADD UP Mark habits with a tap. Look back at your completions, streaks and consistency in a visual record you can make your own. KEEP GOING AFTER A MISSED DAY Your journal starts with three mends, and each full week you keep a habit earns another, up to three at a time. Use a mend to protect a streak without pretending the missed day never happened. FOLLOW YOUR ROUTINE Give your day a clear order with repeatable routines, individual steps, focused timers and a stopwatch. BUILT FOR DAILY USE • Daily or flexible weekly targets • Amount-based goals for pages, minutes, kilometres, and more • Routines with ordered steps, timers and a stopwatch • Tasks on Apple Calendar, if you want them there • Local reminders you control • Home Screen widgets • Apple Watch app and complications • Light, dark, paper, and ink styles PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your personal journal is stored on your devices.
