What hokd does — and intentionally doesn't.
No streaks. No XP. No score. No zero to fall back to. The climb only goes up.
Stages instead of to-dos.
You log backward — what you finished, not what you planned. Each stage goes into one of five modes, and each adds altitude.
„Mont Blanc, 4,808 meters. Today I climbed 145 of them."
Instead of abstract productivity points, you climb a real mountain — Watzmann, Mont Blanc, Everest, or your own peak. Each stage is a step, each day climbs higher, each summit is a finished chapter.
Three steps. Seven days of visibility.
Courage moment
What was hard this week — and you did it anyway?
Set the anchor
One sentence for the week ahead. Pinned for seven days.
Check the mountain
Where are you? What's left to the summit? Need a new one?
Themes you return to.
Instead of a monolithic journal: themes you keep returning to. Write when you have something to say — sometimes weeks of nothing. With Pro, on-device AI surfaces patterns on demand.
Scripts with version history and outcome tracking.
Discovery calls, complaint replies, investor pitches. Save versions, track each run's outcome (conversion, notes), let AI review what worked. Exportable as flashcards.
Who are you at your best?
Once a month, one question. Your answer then appears in every weekly review as a quiet reference — not a metric, a compass.
Local first. AI only when you want.
No account, no login, no tracking IDs. Data stays local. AI is Pro-only and runs entirely on-device on iPhone and Mac via Apple Intelligence. On Android, through the Hokd backend (Frankfurt) — only input text, nothing stored.
What's already in the free app.
The core is free forever. Pro adds AI and lifts the limits.
One app, three devices — slightly different tech.
Functionally hokd is the same product on iPhone, Mac and Android: stages, mountains, the Sunday ritual, playbooks, reflections. The implementation differs because each platform has different native strengths.
Exact feature sets and versions can differ slightly. Both apps evolve in parallel; larger features arrive on the other platform with a delay.
