One calm place for your habits, your journal and your notes. Miss a day and your streak doesn't break. I'm Hasan, and Vyne is made by just me, not a company. I built it for my family and friends, because every app we tried was either full of ads or scattered our life across ten different places. WHAT'S INSIDE • Your life as a vine. You're the bubble in the middle. Work, health, home, money, anything that matters becomes a branch, and a branch can hold habits, due dates, amounts and notes. • Habits that forgive. Keep showing up and you earn leaves. Miss a day and a leaf quietly protects your streak. Sick or travelling? Mark a rest day and your streak simply waits for you. • A daily journal. One page a day, on the paper you like. On Mondays it asks three short questions about your week. • Notes, lists and reminders. Folders, checklists with pages, reminders that repeat. Five papers, from soft cotton to a night sky. • The people you love. Birthdays, and the little things you don't want to forget about them. • A thought cloud. Tap it, write whatever is on your mind, sort it out later. • Stats that talk like a person. Week, month and year, with one plain sentence at the top instead of a wall of charts. • Nine one-tap templates for big moments: a new job, moving house, an exam period, a new baby and more. • Little surprises on day 7, 30, 66 and 100. I won't spoil them. THINGS I CARED ABOUT • No ads. No account needed. • Works offline. Cloud backup is optional, and you can export everything. • At most one gentle evening check-in, at a time you choose. Never guilt. • Four themes. English and Turkish. • Every icon and character in the app was drawn just for Vyne. If something feels off, or you wish Vyne did something it doesn't, write to me. I read every message, and a lot of what's in Vyne came from exactly those notes.
Stream Note

The simplest notes, focused on today. Stream keeps your notes not in folders, but in a stream of days. Write today, then flick back through the days that have flowed by. • Needle scrubber — one bar, one day. A single drag skims through your past days and jumps straight to any date. • Checklists & markdown — bold, bullets, and checkboxes saved as plain text. • Show on Lock Screen — pin notes and to-dos as a Live Activity and check them off right there. • Lock Screen control — open Stream instantly from a Lock Screen button. • Tags & filters — follow a single stream with one #tag. • Markdown export / import — your data is always yours, in plain text. All notes are stored on your device only.
