Hey Product Hunt 👋
As a small solo dev, this is my first-ever app and first-ever launch 😅
I built Essentia because I kept running into a very boring but very real problem: people (including friends and family) wanting to do basic health things every day, but kept forgetting.
- Drink enough water
- Apply sunscreen
- Fix posture
- Hit a daily step count
- Take supplements
- Stop sitting like a question mark for 8 hours straight
There are plenty of habit trackers out there, of course. And I tried many, but all of them felt too bloated, too gamified, too paywalled, or too eager to become yet another system I had to manage.
And I didn’t want a "habit companion" with a creature, plant, streak shrine, or elaborate analytics dashboards.
I wanted something calm, minimal, and stoic.
A clean, daily-first, tracker-reminder for the bare minimums that matter. Something I could use to get the job done daily and timely. Essentially a simple open, log, and move on with your day, all in under 30 seconds per day.
So I built Essentia.
It lets you:
• Track 11 preloaded daily essentials (like water, posture, steps, etc.)
• Create unlimited custom essentials
• Set gentle reminders
• Track streaks without making it a guilt machine
• Save quick notes per essential
It's ultra-lightweight and works offline. No sign-up, ads, or data collection. Oh, and it is deliberately not a weekly/monthly planner, journaling app, or to-do list replacement.
I just wanted it to do one thing and do it well: help people stay consistent with their daily essentials through super-easy setup, reminders, and tracking.
Built and shipped through lots of self-learning, late nights, debugging, and trial and error. Would love to hear what you think. And I'd genuinely appreciate it if you try it out firsthand and drop a review for what you’d want improved next.
Thanks an absolute ton! :)

Have been using since beginning of May to track my daily health habits. Simple daily reminders and I don't miss the healthy routine.
love that it skips the gamification nonsense and just lets me check off my water and sunscreen without any guilt-trip animations. the one-handed layout actually works well when i'm half-awake in the morning.
Sweet app. Simple. Stays local, works without internet. Anyone who wants to avoid AI overstimulation and like no fluff. This is great for that.
