The Traces

For the people who keep starting over — and wonder why the apps never stick. Most apps want you to be a machine. The Traces wants you to be human.

No streaks to break. No guilt when life gets in the way. Just a quiet place to notice that you showed up, and that it mattered.

Why The Traces?

No Streaks: A missed day doesn't erase your progress. Life happens, the path continues.
Supportive Tone: Messages that acknowledge complexity, not guilt you into action.
Traces, Not Metrics: Your entries aren't data to analyze. They're evidence you tried.
Privacy First: Your goals stay on your device with iCloud backup and biometric locking.
Set a goal. When you do something, anything, toward it, log it. One tap. Over time, you'll see the traces of your effort. Not a score. Just proof you kept going.

THE TRACES FREE & PRO
The core app is completely free, with no time limits or trials.
Free includes up to 3 active goals, 1 daily reminder, and all core features.
Pro ($4.99/month or $34.99/year) unlocks unlimited goals, unlimited reminders, and data export/import. It also keeps this independent app alive, built by one person who needed it too.
Canceling Pro never removes your progress — it's yours, always.
Pro doesn't unlock more productivity. It gives you more room to breathe.

Put down the whip. Open The Traces.
