Hey Product Hunt! I built Hanka because every quote app I tried felt like the opposite of what it was selling. Notifications about mindfulness. Ads between wisdom. Subscription paywalls around Zen proverbs that are 800 years old. So I made the quietest app on my phone. Here's what Hanka does: - Shows you one curated quote per day (50 hand-picked quotes from Zen, Buddhist, and Taoist traditions) - Tap to write a private reflection — a lightweight journal that stays on your device - Double-tap for a gentle commentary that unpacks the quote's meaning - Swipe to browse past quotes Here's what it doesn't do: - No ads. No tracking. No analytics SDKs. Zero. - No push notifications. If you don't open it, it waits. - No subscription. No IAPs. It's free. - No data collection. Your reflections never leave your phone. The name comes from 反歌 (hanka) — a Japanese "response poem" written after reading a longer work. That's the interaction model: read a quote, turn it over in your mind, respond. The whole thing is open source: https://github.com/ceesaxp/zen-w... I'd love your feedback — what would make this more useful to you?
