Kintsu: The Forgiving Habit Tracker
Miss a day? Come back tomorrow to keep your streak!
Most habit trackers reset you to zero when you miss a day. Kintsu doesn't. Inspired by Kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold — Kintsu marks your missed-then-recovered days in gold. Because coming back matters more than being perfect. ✦ Build good habits & break bad ones ✦ Urge surfing for cravings ✦ Hold-to-log with haptic feedback ✦ 100% offline, no account needed ✦ Beautiful Material 3 themes Your streaks don't define you. Your comeback does.
I built Kintsu because I was tired of the anxiety that comes with traditional habit trackers. We’ve all been there: you build a 45-day streak, life gets in the way, you miss one day, and boom! you’re back to zero. It feels like a punishment, and it often leads to abandoning the habit entirely.
Kintsu is inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Instead of punishing you for breaking a streak, Kintsu rewards your resilience. If you miss a day but return the next, that missed day is repaired with gold on your canvas. It celebrates your comeback. ✨
As a developer who values privacy and digital minimalism, I made sure Kintsu respects your data:
• 100% Offline-First: No accounts, no servers, no cloud dependency. Your data stays on your device.
• Build vs. Release: Dedicated approaches for building good habits and letting go of bad ones.
• Urge Surfing: A built-in "panic button" with guided breathing for when cravings hit.
• Calm UI: A beautiful, distraction-free and beautiful design with zero clutter.
🎁 Launch Special: To celebrate being on Product Hunt today, you can use the promo code PRODUCTHUNT by selecting monthly subscription inside the app to unlock 3 full months of Kintsu PRO for completely free!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the "golden repair" philosophy and how it changes your approach to building habits.
I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions and hear your feedback. Let me know what you think! 💛
