Haven: Private Journal & Goals

Haven is a private journal and weekly reflection app. Choose what
matters this week, log small pieces of evidence as the days go by,
and close the cycle with a short reflection. Your journal stays on
your phone. No accounts. No cloud. No ads. No analytics.

WHY HAVEN
Most journal apps want an email, a subscription, and a server copy
of your private writing. Haven doesn't. Haven is a fully offline
journaling app — your entries live in your phone's local storage
and are never uploaded anywhere. Open it, write, close it. That's
the contract.

A WEEKLY RHYTHM
Haven runs on a one-week loop built around three simple lenses:
Build — a habit, skill, or routine you want to strengthen.
Shape — a pattern you want to gently change.
Work With — a distraction or friction you want to make peace with.
Pick one focus per lens at the start of your week. As life happens,
log short notes or attach a photo when you notice it. At the end of
the week, write a reflection on what you learned. Completed weeks
become a quiet, searchable history you actually want to revisit.

A COMPANION THAT GROWS WITH YOU
Reflection isn't paperwork in Haven — it feeds Hearth-Sprout, a
calm idle-game companion that hatches from an egg and grows through
five life stages as you keep showing up. Tend to it the way you
tend to yourself.
- Passive points and per-log rewards that scale as you build a habit
- Daily-streak multiplier up to 2.0x at fourteen days
- Thirty silent achievements that recognize your patterns
- Constellation skill tree with manual milestone claims
- Six-skill prestige tree once you Legendary the path

The gamification is opt-in pacing — it's there if you like it, easy
to ignore if you don't.

QUIET BY DESIGN
- Sun-arc theme: warm vellum by day, deep midnight by night.
- Edge-to-edge fullscreen, with the system bars hidden so the
journal feels like a notebook, not a chat app.
- Real .json export through the Android share sheet — your
journal is yours to take with you. Import on a new device.

PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY
Haven is one of the few journal apps with a privacy promise the app
literally cannot break:
- No account to create. No email asked for.
- No cloud sync. No server. The developer has no way to read
your entries — there is nowhere they could be sent to.
- No ads. No third-party SDKs. No analytics. No tracking.
- Camera permission is used only when you tap to attach a photo
to an evidence entry. Photos stay on your device.
- Reset wipes everything in one tap.
Read the full privacy policy from inside the app or in the GitHub
repository.

WHO HAVEN IS FOR
- People who want a private journal app they can trust offline.
- People building a weekly reflection habit, gratitude practice,
or self-improvement routine without a paywall.
- People who like a small, calm idle game alongside their
journaling — and people who want to ignore that part entirely.
Haven is not a chat app, not a community, not a coach. It's a quiet
notebook with a small companion in it.
