Most days, you won't open this app. You write down what you want to keep up, and how many times a week. Then you tick it off on your Home Screen. That is the whole loop. A few times a week counts Anywhere from once to seven times a week. Three runs, two evenings of reading, one call home on Sunday. The week shows where you stand, and a missed Tuesday is just a missed Tuesday. The widget is the app One routine per widget, on the Home Screen or the Lock Screen, and the whole widget is the tap. Grid, tower, since day one and more: you pick the look. You only open the app to set a routine up or change it. More than one routine Two routines run side by side for free, and with Pro as many as you keep up. Give a routine an end date if you want one, or let it keep going. A reminder, only when it helps At the time you pick, and only on days when something is still open. Plan and calendar The plan shows what the week asks of you. Put the sessions in your calendar if you would rather have them there. With other people Share a routine by code or QR. Whoever follows it sees how it is going and cannot change a thing. Or make it a pact with one person (Pro): you keep the routine together, and the day is done when you have both ticked it off. They do not need Pro to say yes. Tied to a place (Pro) Pin a routine to a place on Apple Maps, like your gym. The day ticks off only where it happened. Quiet on purpose Monochrome, in light and dark. No feed, no points, no leaderboard, nothing to scroll. Focus (Pro) When the phone is what gets in the way: with Pro, Basalt keeps the apps you pick closed on the hours and days you set, and the websites with them. You choose them in Apple's own picker, and Basalt never sees which ones you chose. Basalt Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. It renews unless you turn it off in your App Store settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. Purchases can be restored in the app. Terms: https://getklar.org/basalt/terms Privacy: https://getklar.org/basalt/privacy

Your life is more interesting than you think. Sometimes all it takes is one sidequest. Opia is a real-life adventure app. Instead of keeping you on your screen, it sends you out into the world with quests to actually do things. Explore your city, meet new people, get creative, or just notice the world around you. Open the app and the world invites you to do something. SPIN A QUEST, GO DO IT Tap the compass for a random quest, or browse what's nearby. Every quest is a small real-world challenge: take the long way home, talk to a stranger, photograph something you'd normally walk past, try something you've never done. Filter by type and difficulty, save the ones you like, and start when you're ready. FOUR WAYS TO GROW Quests fall into four areas: - Exploration — go somewhere new - Social — connect with people - Creative — make and notice things - Awareness — be present in the moment You don't pick a personality type. Opia builds a living identity that reflects what you've actually been doing lately. Lean into exploring and your identity shifts toward Explorer. Go quiet for a while and it drifts back toward balance. It's a reflection of your recent self, not a permanent label. THE WORLD: REAL MOMENTS, NOT A HIGHLIGHT REEL The World is Opia's community feed, but it's the opposite of social media. No followers. No clout. No algorithm. You can only post real quest completions, shown newest first. It's closer to BeReal than Instagram: raw, real, and focused on the moment instead of the person. See what others are actually doing, save a quest that inspires you, and go do it yourself. WORLD RANKING A simple leaderboard ranked by quests completed, both Weekly and All-Time. Not XP, not likes, not popularity. Just people who get out and do things. Weekly gives everyone a fresh shot. BUILT TO GET YOU OUTSIDE Opia isn't built to keep you scrolling. It's built to get you off your phone and into your actual life. Explore more. Meet people. Collect stories. Make life feel real again. Quests are always optional, and you're in control of your own choices and safety. Get outside, try new things, and make some real memories. Download Opia and go do something.
