Stage logging
— 001 / Logbook

Stages instead of to-dos.

You log backward — what you finished, not what you planned. Each stage goes into one of five categories.

·Depth50m
·Creation40m
·Courage35m
·Learning30m
·Care15m
— 002 / Mountains

"Mont Blanc 4,808 meters.
Today I climbed 145 of them."

Instead of abstract productivity points, you climb a specific mountain. Watzmann, Mont Blanc, Everest — or your own peak. Each stage is a step, each day climbs higher, each mountain is a finished chapter.

— 003 / Sunday ritual

Three steps. Seven days of visibility.

01

Courage moment

What was hard this week — and you did it anyway?

02

Set the anchor

One sentence for the week ahead. Stays pinned for seven days.

03

Check the mountain

Where are you? What's left to the summit? Need a new one?

— 004 / Reflection

Themes you return to.

Instead of a monolithic journal: themes you keep returning to. You write when you have something to say — sometimes weeks of nothing. With Pro, AI summarizes patterns on demand.

Reflection themes
— 005 / Playbooks

Scripts with version history and outcome tracking.

Discovery calls, complaint responses, investor pitches. Save versions, track outcomes per run (conversion, notes), let AI review what worked. Also exportable as flashcards.

Playbooks on macOS
— 006 / Logbook review

What was this climb?

When you reach a peak, the app sums up your climb: how many stages, which categories dominated, where the weight sat. After Mont Blanc you see clearly which kind of work lifted you.

— 007 / Privacy

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 iOS/Mac via Apple Intelligence. On Android through the Hokd backend (Vercel, Frankfurt) — only input text, nothing stored.

— 008 / Free vs Pro

What's in the free tier.

The core features are free. Pro adds AI and lifts the active-challenges cap.

— 009 / By platform

One app, three devices — slightly different stacks.

Functionally Hokd is the same product on iPhone, Mac and Android: stages, mountains, Sunday ritual, playbooks, reflections. The implementation differs because each platform has different native strengths.

Exact feature scopes and version states can differ slightly. Both apps are developed in parallel; larger features land on the other platform with a delay.
