A private journal for iOS
Track your hookah and drinks. Quietly.
A small, deliberate ledger for the things you'd rather not announce. No accounts, no servers we control. Just you, the day, and the flavor you'll want to remember.
A coal cools, a glass empties, the night ends. Tomorrow you'll wonder which flavor it was, and how long it's been since the last one. Hookalco remembers, so you don't have to keep score in your head.
Made for the quiet hour · Not a productivity app
One swipe, one log.
Open the app. Two halves of the day — one for hookah, one for what's in the glass. Tap the one that happened.
No forms, no streak guilt, no notifications nagging you. The home screen is a question and an answer. If nothing happened today, nothing needs to be tapped.
Remember the flavor, not the math.
Type it, tap a suggestion, or pick from the last few you loved. The app keeps a private library of every blend and bottle you've ever logged.
When someone asks what that mango thing was, you'll know. Hookalco quietly builds a vocabulary for your evenings.
A year, at a glance.
A calendar coloured in the warmth of a low lamp — rose for hookah, amber for a drink, paper for a clean day.
Look at the month and see the rhythm of your own habits. No graphs, no scores, no judgment. A page in a journal, not a dashboard.
On privacy
It stays on your devices.
No accounts. No sign-in. No analytics, no advertising identifier, no third-party SDKs whispering about you in the background. Your library lives in a local database on your iPhone and — if you choose — syncs to your other Apple devices through Apple's private CloudKit. There is no server we control. Nothing for anyone else to see.
A few small questions
Asked & answered
- Is there a cloud sync, an account, anything like that?
- No account. No server we run. Your logs live in a private database on your iPhone, and Apple's CloudKit can sync them to your other Apple devices under your own iCloud — we never see them.
- Why hookah and alcohol in one app?
- Because for a lot of people they share the same evenings. Tracking them side by side — without separate apps and separate moods — turned out to feel honest, in a way the spreadsheet alternative never did.
- Will it shame me into stopping?
- No. There are no streak guilt-trips, no nagging notifications, no bright red warnings. The calendar simply shows you the colour of your week. What you do with that is your business.
- Is it free? Are there ads?
- Free, no ads, no in-app purchases pestering you. If a paid feature ever lands, it'll be a small one-time tip, not a subscription.
