Journaling sits right beside your daily tasks. When your timer finishes or your streak grows, quickly jot down reflections without switching between separate note apps.
Not everything needs a stopwatch.
Master your daily habits without timer pressure.
Focus timers are great for deep sessions, but daily life also has errands, stretches, hydration, and quick checks. Self Streak gives you a separate daily checklist with custom routine reminders so you stay consistent across every facet of your routine.
Separate from Timed Hours
Your daily study or work metrics stay pure. Errands and healthy habits live in your non-timed checklist, keeping your dashboard clean and focused.
Custom Routine Reminders
Turn on routine alerts set to your chosen interval (e.g., every 30 or 45 minutes). The countdown starts right when you turn it on, keeping you on schedule throughout your work block.
Fresh Daily Start
Checklist items cleanly reset each morning so every new day brings a fresh slate. No overdue shame—just simple, steady progress.
Master your cash flow.
Every wallet, expense, and savings goal in one place.
True personal productivity extends beyond time management to how you invest your financial resources. Self Streak gives you a dedicated multi-wallet expense tracker with instant cash flow logging, category distributions, and real-time savings rate analytics—100% free with complete privacy.
Separate Multiple Wallets
Keep personal cash, primary checking, and savings vaults distinct. View individual wallet ledgers or aggregated wealth in one clean dashboard.
Visual Cash Flow & Savings Rate
Track spending patterns with proportional category distribution bars. Know your exact monthly net savings and savings rate percentage without confusing financial jargon.
100% Private — No Bank Logins
We never ask for your bank credentials, passwords, or Plaid linking. Your financial entries are stored securely in your private account with full CSV data portability.
Fuel your focus with timeless wisdom.
Routine sparks delivered right when you need them.

How do the best thinkers avoid catastrophic blind spots?
— Charlie Munger & Shane Parrish
“Invert, always invert.” Instead of asking how to succeed, ask how you might fail, then systematically avoid those failure modes. Solving problems backwards consistently exposes hidden vulnerabilities.

Honest productivity. Built on real time.
“We noticed that most task managers encourage lists of empty checkboxes, which can easily be completed with zero effort. We wanted to build something that records actual time invested.”
Self Streak defaults to live timer tracking. By measuring effort as it happens, your contribution heatmap reflects genuine focus. If you forgot your timer, you can add manual overrides—but honest logs are the heart of the experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Self Streak features and device sync.
Do I have to keep the web tab open for the timer to track my work?
No! The timer uses server-side timestamps. Once you start a task timer, you can close the browser tab, shut down your computer, or open the mobile app. The elapsed time is calculated when you check back or stop the timer, so your tracked time is preserved.
Can I plan and schedule tasks for future dates?
Yes! Self Streak includes a full Google Calendar-style month view. You can schedule tasks for tomorrow or any future date directly using the interactive date picker (past dates are disabled). When the scheduled day arrives, your tasks automatically appear on your Today dashboard ready to start.
What is the Carry-over task backlog and how do I schedule unfinished tasks?
If a day ends with unfinished tasks, they automatically move to your Backlog instead of vanishing. You can assign them to today or any future date using quick presets (Tomorrow, +2 Days, +1 Week) or a custom date picker. You can also pull carried-over tasks directly onto your calendar agenda, accompanied by visual spill trails (e.g. ↪ Mon → Tue → Today).
How does the End-to-End Encrypted Private Journal work?
Your private thoughts are encrypted directly on your device using your private passphrase before anything is sent over the network. That means zero-knowledge privacy: only you have the key, and not even the server or database can read your journal content. You can jot down thoughts throughout the day, track your moods, add tags, and search your personal history in complete confidence.
How is the Daily Checklist different from focus tasks?
Main tasks track your dedicated focus hours with live timers and contribute to your consistency streak and heatmap. The Daily Checklist is a dedicated space for non-timed everyday chores, errands, and habits (like buying groceries or cleaning your desk) that you want to check off without diluting or distorting your focus metrics.
How do Checklist Routine Reminders and cross-device alerts work?
You can turn on routine chore reminders to notify you periodically—such as every 30 minutes or 1 hour from the moment you turn them on—so you never forget today’s chores. Additionally, cross-device alerts keep your computer and phone connected: if you start a timer on mobile, your open web browser will chime and alert you in real time.
How do Target Timer Thresholds work?
Target thresholds allow you to configure a dedicated duration goal for any task (e.g. 2 hours of deep work). When your timer reaches the threshold, the app alerts you, giving you the choice to extend the session in increments or wrap up and complete the task.
How does real-time cross-device sync work?
We synchronize your account across all devices in real time using secure WebSockets. When you add a task, start a timer, or mark an item complete on your phone, the changes appear live on your web dashboard and other open devices without manual page refreshing.
Can I log hours manually if I forget to use the timer, or log for past days?
Absolutely. While live timers encourage honest focus, you can click on any task to log manual hours and minutes. You can also log tasks directly for past days from the Stats heatmap. All manual entries count toward your heatmap intensity and consistency streaks.
What is the "Where Your Time Went" analytics feature?
The Insights screen offers an annual task distribution breakdown with proportional bars. It shows you the exact percentage and total hours spent on each task and category, giving you an honest retrospective of where your effort went.
Is my data secure, and can I export it?
Yes, data privacy is a core value. All sessions are protected with secure authentication tokens. You are never locked into the platform—you can export your entire tracking history (including dates, tasks, durations, and notes) as a spreadsheet-compatible CSV file at any time with a single click.
How does the Expense Tracker work with multiple wallets and cash flow?
Self Streak includes a comprehensive personal expense and cash flow tracker designed with complete privacy in mind—no invasive bank credential linking required. You can manage multiple wallets (such as Cash, Checking Bank, Savings Vault, or Credit Cards), record income and categorized expenses, view visual category distribution bars, and monitor your monthly net savings rate. Everything syncs automatically across web and mobile.
How do Daily Motivation quotes and routine mindset reminders work?
Staying locked in requires mental energy. When you open your Today dashboard, you are greeted with a fresh "Spark of Focus" banner featuring curated quotes from timeless philosophers, authors, and builders. You can also configure periodic routine notifications (e.g. every 30m, 1h, 2h, or daily) so inspiring prompts are sent directly to your device to keep your focus sharp and your habits steady.
What is the Snaps feature and how do insight flashcards work?
Snaps is an active recall flashcard and wisdom capture tool for your book highlights, mental models, and favorite quotes. The front of each card acts as a curiosity hook, question, or quote prompt; click or tap to flip the card and reveal the key insight. You can organize your knowledge by categories, star favorites, view full text in a centered reader dialog, and export high-resolution graphic cards to share with friends or on social media.
