Vow: the Active screen with a Year Intention, an askesis and a challenge
What it is

A quiet place for serious intentions.

Vow is built around one idea: when you say you will do something for thirty days, the app is there for those thirty days. No feed, no leaderboards, no noise. Just the window, the mark and the day.

You take a vow: a habit challenge, an askesis with no missed days, a practice tied to shared calendar dates, or one intention for the whole year. Each day you mark it inside its window. At the end you get an honest result and a certificate you can keep or share.

Four formats

Choose the weight of your word.

From a light daily habit to a restriction that ends at the first missed day. Pick the pressure you actually need.

Challenge

A daily practice for 7, 14, 21, 30, 45 or 66 days: reading, steps, an early start, a language. Three levels.

On Easy and Basic a missed day can be transferred once, so one bad evening does not erase the month.

Up to three at once · Easy from age 13

Askesis

A voluntary restriction: no sugar, no social media, no complaints. Before the start you can write down in one sentence what it is for.

That sentence stays on your screen every day. Miss a day and the askesis ends. That is the design.

One at a time · 7 to 66 days · 18+

Paired askesis

The same askesis, held by two people. You create it and share the invite code; your partner joins from their own iPhone.

Each of you keeps your own progress. A quiet “I’m here” signal tells the other that you showed up today.

Two iPhones · via iCloud · 18+

Event askesis

A practice on shared dates: Ramadan, Great Lent, Advent, weeks of inner silence, Dry January and more.

Every event has its own emblem, palette, practices and final scene. You can join after it has started.

Fixed dates · 18+ · a challenge version from 13

Vow is free: no purchases, no subscriptions, no ads.

The year format

One intention, a whole year.

A frame for the year rather than a single vow. Name one intention, choose its sphere, set dated checkpoints and place up to five reference photos around the ring of the year.

The year closes at 9 pm on 31 December with a summary and a certificate.

CheckpointsFrom 2 to 6 dated stages, each with a status, notes and subtasks
Practices insideUp to three embedded practices of 30, 45 or 66 days
Reference photosUp to five, stored only on your iPhone

Vow: the ring of the year with checkpoints and reference photos
How a day works

A window. A single tap.

Every vow has a check-in window. Mark inside it and the day counts. Outside it, it does not. A diary entry never replaces the check-in.

The window opens

Today is waiting

The vow screen shows the time left. A Live Activity keeps today’s vows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

During the day

You do the practice

Or you don’t. The app does not check on you: it holds the window and counts the days. The agreement is with yourself.

Inside the window

You tap Mark

One tap, one haptic, one more day in the grid. You can also mark from a Home Screen widget.

The window closes

Missed it?

In an askesis, the askesis ends and its result goes to History. In a challenge, Vow offers a day transfer if your level allows one, or ending the challenge. No retroactive marks.

Inside the app

Six screens. The whole loop.

No feed and no badges. Notifications only when they matter: a window opens, a window is about to close.

Vow on the Lock Screen: a Live Activity and widgets
Home Screen and Lock Screen

Your word, one glance away.

Widgets show the ring of your year, today’s vow and a Mark button. On the Lock Screen, the days left in the year. A Live Activity keeps today’s vows in view.

What’s inside

Curated, not crowd-sourced.

Every challenge, askesis, event and practice is written by hand and checked in four languages. There is no user-generated content in the catalog.

Oct 13–19

Week of inner silence

Seven days of reducing outer noise. Silence is the absence of input, not of action.

Nov 1–30

Movember

Men’s health, physical and mental. About being willing to say aloud what stays silent inside.

Nov 29 – Dec 24

Advent

Four weeks of waiting. Advent is about expectation, not rush.

Jan 1–31, 2027

Dry January

No alcohol for January. Not about willpower: about what January is like without it.

Events for 2026 and 2027 are already in the app, together with practices you can start any day, such as “Within. 30 days” and a personal askesis with a diary.

What’s different

Five things Vow does not do.

01

No account

Open the app and start. No email, no phone number, no password. Vow asks your age to open the right catalog and, if you like, a first name. Both stay on your iPhone.

02

No payments

Vow is free. No purchases, no subscriptions, no charges.

03

No tracking

No analytics and no advertising SDKs. The app does not watch whether you keep your vow in real life. It trusts you, because the point is honesty with yourself.

04

No gamification

No leaderboards and no competing with strangers. A streak belongs to you, not to an audience.

05

No ads

Never. We do not sell your attention to anyone.

Questions

Things people ask.

Is it really free?

Yes. Vow has no purchases, no subscriptions and no ads. From 18 the whole catalog is open; from 13, Easy challenges and event challenges.

What happens if I miss a day?

In an askesis, a missed window ends it; the result is saved in History. In a challenge, Vow offers a day transfer: one on Easy if you turned it on at the start, one per challenge on Basic, none on Hard.

Can I do it with a friend?

Yes, with a paired askesis. You both need an iPhone signed in to iCloud. One of you creates the askesis and shares the code, the other enters it in the Catalog.

Is Vow for teenagers?

From 13 to 17 Vow opens Easy challenges and event challenges, with no askesis. Under 13, the app does not open.

Where is my data?

On your iPhone. Vow has no server and no user accounts. Paired askesis uses Apple’s iCloud to connect two devices; that is the only exception. See the Privacy Policy.

Which languages?

English, Russian, French and Spanish. You can switch the language inside the app, independently of the system.

Is there an Android version?

Not for now. Vow is built for iPhone: widgets, Live Activities, the Dynamic Island.
