Askesa is a minimalist vow tracker for people who practice a Personal Vow (or Private Vow): a deliberate limitation in service of a clear intention. The interface is intentionally austere - black, white, and shades of gray - so you can focus on commitment, not noise.
Unlike generic habit apps, Askesa is built around a more philosophical framing: one vow pairs with one aim, progress is recorded honestly, success has a cost, discipline is the practice of keeping your word to yourself.
PRIVACY FIRST / OFFLINE BY DESIGN
• The app does not make network requests. Your intentions, notes, and progress stay on your device.
CREATE A VOW (FLOW)
• Choose what you will renounce or what you will install into your life.
• Name the dream or goal your Vow Practice supports.
• Choose a duration - longer practice can help you redirect the energy freed by restraint toward what matters.
• Read the final vow text and begin.
HOME
A collection of active vows - title, duration, visualization, icon, goal, and progress.
VOW DETAILS
• Clear progress overview.
• Full-period calendar: mark days complete/incomplete and add daily notes.
• Reminders to confirm your practice each day.
• Add an image to visualize your aim.
• Share a progress image to social apps.
• Move into completion when you’re ready.
COMPLETION FLOW
Record success or failure, confirm the outcome, share a completion image, or restart your vow if you want a fresh attempt.
APP SETTINGS
Upgrade to Premium, change language, manage notifications and a daily reminder time, enable Dark Mode and haptics, read a concise explanation of what a vow practice means in this context, and contact support.
FREE VS PREMIUM
Without Premium, you can create up to two vows at a time. Premium unlocks advanced vow customization settings - edit the vow title, adjust duration, choose an icon, pick a card color, and refine your goal description.
