Forgiving by design
Every habit carries a continuous strength score instead of a brittle streak. It rises when you show up and only eases off when life gets in the way. No red failure marks, ever.

survive bad days.
Vana is a forgiving habit tracker. Instead of a streak that snaps to zero the moment you slip, every habit carries a strength score that bends with your life — and bounces back the next time you show up.

The idea
Streaks punish you for being human.
One missed day and the number that motivated you yesterday resets to zero and starts to mock you. Vana is built on the opposite belief: consistency is a slope, not a switch.
The old way: streaks
Miss one day → back to zero. All the progress, gone.
The Vana way: habit strength
Miss one day → a small dip. Show up again → right back on track.
Rest on purpose, without breaking anything.
Some days you choose to stop — and that should never be punished. Skip marks a day as a deliberate pause, and Freeze bridges your progress across it. Rest days are drawn in calm blue, never red. Nothing about taking care of yourself looks like failure in Vana.
skip & freeze — rest is part of the habit What you get
Calm to use. Honest to own.
Everything in Vana is designed to keep you coming back without guilt — and to keep your data, and your money, firmly yours.
Skip & Freeze
A deliberate rest day bridges your progress instead of breaking it. Plan a break, take it, and pick up exactly where you left off.
Pay once
A single purchase unlocks everything, forever. No subscription, no auto-renew, nothing to cancel, no upgrade nags on the core loop.
Private by design
No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Vana works fully offline and syncs across your devices through your own private iCloud.
Sub-5-second logging
A deliberate long-press, a heavy haptic, and a calm filling ring. Logging a habit is quick, tactile, and impossible to do by accident.
Yours to keep
One-tap JSON export means your history is always yours. A logged day is sacrosanct — it is never silently undone behind your back.
Private by design
Your habits. Your data. Your device.
Vana asks for nothing it does not need. There is no account, no email, no analytics, and no advertising. Your habits and logs live on your iPhone, and only travel through your own private iCloud if you choose to turn sync on. Apple Health is read-only and stays on your device.

Questions
The short answers.
What makes Vana different from other habit trackers?
Most trackers reset your streak to zero the moment you miss a day. Vana replaces that brittle streak with a continuous habit-strength score that rises when you show up and only dips a little when you miss. A missed day is a dip, not a defeat — and the very next time you complete the habit, you are visibly back on track.
Is there a subscription?
No. Vana is a single one-time purchase — pay once and own it forever. There is no auto-renew, nothing to cancel, and no nagging to upgrade. The free tier is genuinely useful on its own with no caps on the core loop.
Do I need an account?
No account, no sign-up, no email required. Your data lives on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, it travels only through your own private iCloud — we never see it.
Does Vana track me or show ads?
Never. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising, and no third-party tracking of any kind. Vana works fully offline.
What happens to my data if I stop using the app?
It stays yours. You can export your entire history to a JSON file at any time with one tap, and a logged day is never silently changed or removed.
Which devices does Vana support?
Vana is built for iPhone, with a home-screen widget. Optional iCloud sync keeps your habits consistent across your Apple devices.
Own your habits and your data.
Pay once, works forever, no account — and a missed day is just a dip, not a defeat.
