A friendly habit and goal tracker. One tap to check in, streaks that cheer you on without scolding, goals with milestones, and letters to the person you’re becoming. It stays on your own device, with no account and no AI.
Paraphernalia are the small, useful things that go with a pursuit. Habitphernalia is the kit for the life you are building: the habits, the goals, and a letter or two to the person you are becoming.
Habitphernalia is for showing up, not for keeping score. Tap, smile, get on with your day.
Today shows just what’s due, and one tap checks it in. Add a note if you like (“walked to the church and back”). Habits can be every day, on chosen weekdays, or a few times a week.
See your current streak, your best one, and how often you’ve shown up over the last 30 days. Every habit has its own calendar, and you can tap a past day to fill in one you forgot.
Give a goal a target date and a few milestones. Tick them off yourself, or link one to a habit (“20 evening walks”) and it fills in as you check in. A progress bar shows how close you are.
Write a few lines to yourself and seal them until a date you choose: six months, a year, or the day your goal is due. The envelope stays shut, unread even by you, until that morning arrives.
Check-ins this week, streaks going, best streaks and every check-in so far, for each habit and all of them together.
Your device keeps a snapshot each day, and a backup file holds every habit, check-in and letter. Restoring one merges it in without erasing anything.
Habitphernalia was built so it stays that way. There’s no company server holding your habits or letters, because they never leave your device.
Everything is kept in your browser on your own phone or computer. It’s never uploaded, so no one else can see your habits.
Nothing to sign up for, no password to remember, and no email address to hand over.
Nothing reads your notes or letters, and nothing nags you. Every word is yours.
No ads, no cookies, and nothing that follows you around the web. The app has no analytics at all; this website counts page visits privately, without cookies (details). It works offline, too.
Habitphernalia runs in your web browser, so there’s no app store and nothing to download. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app, even without the internet.
On iPhone, adding it to your home screen also helps Safari keep your habits safe.
On a Mac with Safari, choose File, then Add to Dock. Or simply bookmark it. It works in any modern browser.
Each phone or computer keeps its own habits. A backup file is how you move them from one to another.
Try it free for 14 days, then unlock it for good with one payment. No account needed.

Paraphernalia are the small, useful things that go with a pursuit. Habitphernalia is the kit for the life you are building: the habits, the goals, and a letter or two to the person you are becoming.
Nothing bad happens. There are no red marks and no guilt. If you did it but forgot to tap, open that habit and tap the day on its calendar. Habits set to a few times a week count by the week, so a rest day doesn’t break anything.
No, and that’s the point. A letter stays sealed until its date, then opens on that day’s page as “A letter from you, written …”. Until then you’ll only see the envelope and its opening date.
Yes. Your habits and letters are stored only in your browser, on your own phone or computer. They’re never uploaded anywhere. There’s no account and no advertising, and the app has no analytics, so there’s no one to share them with.
Yes. After your first visit, Habitphernalia opens and saves without an internet connection. Adding it to your home screen makes it feel just like any other app.
You can use everything in Habitphernalia free for 14 days. After that, unlock it to keep checking in. Your habits and letters are never locked away: you can always open, export and back them up. One payment unlocks it for good on that device, and the key works on your other devices too.
Your habits live on the device you use, so they won’t move over by themselves. Before you switch, open Settings and save a backup: one file holding everything. Keep it in iCloud Drive or Google Drive, or email it to yourself.
On the new phone, open the app, go to Settings, choose Restore, and pick that file. Restoring merges with what’s already there and never erases it.
Habitphernalia is $6.99, one time, with no subscription. Try it free for 14 days first. No account or card needed for the trial.
Just a web browser: Safari on iPhone or iPad, Chrome on Android, or Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on a computer. There’s nothing to download from an app store.
