The flow
Choose your plan, or track first.
Choose a plan upfront, or track a normal week first to build an exact baseline. You don't have to stop anything on day one. Either way you start from where you really are, at the speed you choose. No feeds, no streaks to lose, no scoreboard.
Observe
A quiet first week
Track each one as you have it without changing your routine. Mohalu learns your baseline and when you actually reach for one. Nothing is counted against you yet.
Review
A week at a time
At the end of each week you see how you actually did. Move up, do the same week again, or ease back. You decide, every time.
Wait
One timer, always running
A single countdown to your next one. It pauses while you're asleep or at work and picks up where it left off. It never restarts you.
Open
The timer opens, your call
Have one, skip it, or track one you forgot. Going early costs you nothing. The plan bends around you.
Keep
Proof it's working
How long you're actually waiting, week by week, against what the plan asked for. Every number comes from your own tracking, and none of them leave your phone.
These are real screens from the app. Switch the face above and they change with it.
Features
Built to be gentle, engineered to be exact.
Only your own hours
Mark the hours you're free and the hours you're not. The timer pauses while you're at work or asleep, then picks back up.
Weekends are different
Set a different pace for Saturday than for Tuesday, because they aren't the same day.
No punishment, ever
Go early and nothing is taken away. No lost streak, no reset, nothing turns red. The timer just carries on.
Cut back, then quit
Keep going until it fades out entirely, or stop at a number you're happy with. Your target, your speed.
See what you save
Every one you skip adds to a running total of money you didn't spend.
Sleeps through anything
Restart your phone, fly across time zones, change the clocks. The countdown stays right.
Faces
Two faces. One engine.
Pick the look you'd rather live with. This page changes with it, screens and all.
Orange tracks your timer. Gold counts what you save. Everything else stays quiet.
Money
What you didn't spend.
Tell Mohalu what one costs and it keeps a running total of the money you didn't spend. Not a projection. Only what you actually skipped.
What skipping a few a day adds up to. This number only goes up.
Mohalu · For iPhone
Ready when you are.
Launching soon on the App Store for iPhone.
Privacy policy
We don't want your data.
Effective August 8, 2026 · applies to the Mohalu iPhone app and mohalu.app
What you do on your own time is nobody's business: not your employer's, not an advertiser's, and not ours, especially something you know you shouldn't be doing. So Mohalu was built with no way to collect it.
What we collect
Nothing. Mohalu has no accounts, no sign-in, and no server. We never see your name, your habits, your tracking, or anything else. There is no "we" on the other end of the app.
Why it works this way
Pacing a habit like smoking or drinking is personal, and for many people it's the kind of thing they'd rather keep entirely to themselves. Data like this can be misread or held against people. We didn't solve that with a policy promise. We solved it with architecture: we wrote no networking code. No servers of ours, no third-party services, nothing that reports back. The one optional network path in the app is Apple's iCloud sync, described below, and it belongs to you, not us.
Where your data lives
Everything you track, every plan, every phase, and your running total live in the app's local database on your iPhone, protected by your device's own security. Delete the app and that local data is gone.
iCloud sync is optional and off by default. If you turn it on, your data syncs through your own Apple account into your private iCloud database: Apple's infrastructure, your account, your encryption keys. We have no server in that path and no ability to read what's there; it exists so your history can follow you to a new phone, and you can switch it off (and remove the iCloud copy from your device's iCloud settings) whenever you like.
The one door out
Beyond optional iCloud sync to your own account, the only way data ever leaves your phone is when you tap Export and choose where the file goes through the iOS share sheet. That file is yours; who sees it is your decision alone.
Notifications
Reminders that a timer has opened are scheduled locally by iOS on your device. No notification service of ours is involved, because we don't have one.
Third parties
None. No analytics, no ads, no crash reporters, no SDKs. Apple may provide us aggregate, anonymized App Store statistics (like download counts) under its own privacy terms. That's Apple's standard reporting and contains nothing from inside the app.
This website
mohalu.app is a static page: no cookies, no analytics, no tracking, and the fonts are served from this domain. Our host (Cloudflare) handles requests the way any web server must in order to deliver a page; we run nothing that watches you here.
Changes & contact
If this policy ever changes, the new version appears here with a new effective date, and the no-collection architecture is the part we consider permanent. Questions: hello@mohalu.app.
Mohalu is a pacing tool for everyday habits, not medical care.
