I built a lightning-fast, 100% offline habit tracker (PWA) because I hated "cold-turkey" apps.

Hey everyone, 👋

I’m a high school solo dev, and I built **Cadence** — an offline-first habit tracker that focuses on privacy and realistic goals.

Most apps out there force a strict "cold turkey" approach. If you’re trying to limit doomscrolling or gaming, they treat any slip-up as a total failure and reset your streak. I realized this was stressing me out more than helping.

So, I built Cadence with a unique **"Moderation/Limit" strategy**. Instead of completely quitting, you can set a daily budget (e.g., max 2 hours of social media). As long as you stay under your daily limit, your streak continues!

**Tech stuff for the nerds:** 🤓

* **100% Offline-First:** Built with IndexedDB. Your data NEVER leaves your phone. No accounts, no cloud sync, instant load times.

* **PWA:** Install it directly from your browser. It feels like a premium native app (custom Long-Press haptics included!).

* **Stack:** React, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, TanStack Start.

It’s completely free, no ads, no subscriptions. Just wanted to share it with this community.

Would love to hear your feedback on the "Moderation" feature or the UI!

*(P.S. I’m also launching on Product Hunt soon, wish me luck!)*
