tikt

A tick tied in time.

In ancient times people tied knots in ropes to record what happened. tikt keeps the idea and drops everything else: a rope is a timeline, a knot is an event, and recording one takes a single press.

Tie one

An empty rope. Hold the pad to tie the first knot.
Tapcounts as one
Holdclimbs towards ten
Releaseties the knot

Intensity is the whole point of holding. A quick tap says it happened; a long hold says it happened a lot. Already know the number? Tap it on the meter first, and the next tap records at exactly that. Later, that number is what the charts are made of.

Three words

Ropea timeline

One rope per thing you are keeping track of — coffees, headaches, practice sessions, arguments. Make as many as you need; each keeps its own history.

Knotan event

One moment, tied onto the rope. Every knot carries the time it happened and how strongly it landed, from one to ten.

Tiktthe tick

The act itself. Every rope is a tile on the home screen — press it, hold, let go, with nothing to open first. It takes about a second, which is the only reason anyone keeps a record at all. More ropes than fit? Swipe sideways for the next page.

Looking back

Every rope keeps its own statistics by day, month and year. Turn location recording on and it remembers where the knots were tied, too.

Day

A month at a time, each day carrying the number of knots tied on it, with the months before an arrow away. Tap a day to see only its knots.

Month

The last twelve months as bars. The shape of a habit shows up here long before you would have noticed it.

Year

Ten years at a glance, for the ropes you keep for a long time.

Map

Once a rope has knots with a position, they appear as points. The map follows the day, month or year you selected, and tapping a point tells you when it happened.

Small things

  • Sign in with a username. No password, nothing to reset.
  • Sound feedback while you hold, a short buzz when the knot lands, and a mute switch for when you would rather not.
  • Undo right after recording, in case the knot was a mistake.
  • Ropes can be renamed — every knot follows — or deleted, records and all.
  • The location switch never gets in the way: a knot is saved on time whether or not the position has arrived yet.
  • Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app — its own icon, no browser chrome.
  • Your date of birth turns into your age on the account page — useful when a rope spans years.
  • English, 日本語 and 中文 — the map's labels included.
