Why we expect it: Identity-based habit framing, gentle handling of missed days, and private no-account design make a thoughtful, clearly valued debut.

In short

Hoku - Habits That Change You is a habit tracker for iPhone where each daily check-in counts toward an identity you choose, such as "I am someone who reads." Users can also log signals like headaches or poor sleep, and the app skips scolding after a missed day. Five habits and five signals are free, with a one-time Plus purchase removing the limits and adding themes and icons.

About

Hoku means star in Hawaiian, the kind you steer by.

Each check is a small step toward who you're becoming. You start by choosing that person. I am someone who reads. I am someone who moves. The habit comes after. Every check counts as an affirmation of that person. Miss a day and the app doesn't scold you. One miss doesn't change your direction. Never miss twice. Signals are the other half. Headache, slept well, brain fog. Things you notice and can't control, tapped on the days they happen.

One reminder a day at most, around the time you usually check in. It goes quiet if you stop opening the app. Five habits and five signals are free. Hoku Plus is one purchase, not a subscription. It removes both limits, and it adds the Duo theme and the other icons. No account. No ads. Your habits stay on your iPhone and in your private iCloud. A backup is a JSON file you keep wherever you like.
