Hey Product Hunt 👋 As a small solo dev, this is my first-ever app and first-ever launch 😅 I built Essentia because I kept running into a very boring but very real problem: people (including friends and family) wanting to do basic health things every day, but kept forgetting. - Drink enough water - Apply sunscreen - Fix posture - Hit a daily step count - Take supplements - Stop sitting like a question mark for 8 hours straight There are plenty of habit trackers out there, of course. And I tried many, but all of them felt too bloated, too gamified, too paywalled, or too eager to become yet another system I had to manage. And I didn’t want a "habit companion" with a creature, plant, streak shrine, or elaborate analytics dashboards. I wanted something calm, minimal, and stoic. A clean, daily-first, tracker-reminder for the bare minimums that matter. Something I could use to get the job done daily and timely. Essentially a simple open, log, and move on with your day, all in under 30 seconds per day. So I built Essentia. It lets you: • Track 11 preloaded daily essentials (like water, posture, steps, etc.) • Create unlimited custom essentials • Set gentle reminders • Track streaks without making it a guilt machine • Save quick notes per essential It's ultra-lightweight and works offline. No sign-up, ads, or data collection. Oh, and it is deliberately not a weekly/monthly planner, journaling app, or to-do list replacement. I just wanted it to do one thing and do it well: help people stay consistent with their daily essentials through super-easy setup, reminders, and tracking. Built and shipped through lots of self-learning, late nights, debugging, and trial and error. Would love to hear what you think. And I'd genuinely appreciate it if you try it out firsthand and drop a review for what you’d want improved next. Thanks an absolute ton! :) - Arkin

love that it skips the gamification nonsense and just lets me check off my water and sunscreen without any guilt-trip animations. the one-handed layout actually works well when i'm half-awake in the morning.

The one-handed design is genuinely useful, and skipping the account setup was a relief. Streaks and reminders work smoothly offline, which is more than I expected from something this minimal.

Have been using since beginning of May to track my daily health habits. Simple daily reminders and I don't miss the healthy routine.

The no signup and offline thing won me over right away, and being able to tweak my own essentials beyond the preloaded ones feels refreshingly simple.

Sweet app. Simple. Stays local, works without internet. Anyone who wants to avoid AI overstimulation and like no fluff. This is great for that.

The one-handed optimization is such a thoughtful detail, makes checking off habits mid-commute actually doable. Love that there is no signup or data collection holding it back either.
