What Onava does
Onava is built around one day, three moments: a morning ritual, the intentions you carry through the day, and a one-line reflection in the evening. Everything below is in the free version — there is no paid tier.
The morning ritual, in twelve kinds
The ritual is not something Onava adds to your morning. It is whatever your morning already starts with. You pick from twelve: breathing, stretching, a cold shower, a run, a walk, coffee, journalling, reading, gratitude, affirmations, a phone-free morning — or no ritual at all, straight to the plan.
The screen adapts to the kind. A run gets a stopwatch, breathing gets a countdown, coffee or a journal just gets a Done button. You can change the kind any time and your day count carries over.
A phone-free morning is its own case: you tap, put the phone down, and let the screen go dark. Affirmations are your own lines, shown one card at a time.
Guided breathing
The default kind. A slow circle to breathe along with, two minutes or longer, four rhythms to choose from, and an ambient sound that fades into the closing chime rather than cutting off.
One to five intentions
Only after the ritual do you write what today is for. One to five intentions — the soft cap is deliberate, because twenty priorities are none. The first one becomes your main intention: if only one thing happens today, let it be this.
- Yesterday's unfinished intentions carry over with one tap.
- Any intention can take a short “when or where” — small concrete detail that makes it far more likely to happen.
- Through the day you open Today, see them, and check off what is done. No repeat of the morning.
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
Your main intention sits in a widget on both the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, so you meet it before you meet another feed. It updates as you complete things during the day.
Pause
One to three minutes of breathing for when the day speeds up — before a hard conversation, or before sleep. It deliberately does not count toward your day count and does not close the day: it is a door, not another task.
Evening reflection
One line at the end of the day: what went well, how you feel, and what matters tomorrow. This is the part most days are missing — the day gets an ending instead of just stopping. Tomorrow's main intention is then already waiting for you in the morning, and the loop closes.
A count that never burns down
Onava counts completed rituals, not ticked boxes: you can always think your day through honestly, while getting everything done works for no one.
And the count is cumulative — a missed day takes nothing away. There is no streak to protect, no freeze to buy, no red number shaming you back. Alongside it there are achievements at 3, 7, 30 and 100 days.
Progress you can actually look at
- Heat map of recent weeks — showing that you are moving, not how much you failed to do.
- Day journal — tap any date to see that day's ritual, intentions and reflection.
- Weekly and monthly recaps, each with a card you can share.
- Mood over the week, from your evening reflections.
Year goals
A third horizon: a few big goals for the year. Once a month there is a quiet session — gentle questions about each goal and the steps you note under it. The morning ritual then offers you one of those steps; a tap, and it joins today's intentions.
At the end of the year you see the whole path in steps — no percentages, no grades.
Reminders that know when to be quiet
- A morning nudge and an evening check-in, at times you set.
- Weekly schedule — on your days off, reminders come later or not at all.
- Vacation mode — mark the days and reminders go silent, without breaking your count.
Nothing extra
No feeds, no likes, no social layer, no shame over a broken streak, no subscriptions and no paywalls. No account and no sign-up. Nothing leaves your device, and the whole app works with no connection at all.
Nine languages — English, Ukrainian, German, Polish, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil) and Turkish — following your device language.
