A private, local-first daily wellbeing check-in: log mood, energy, and sleep, and see your patterns over time. Bring it into the light.
Open malinfossum.github.io/kenaz on your phone, then choose Install app (or Add to Home screen). It runs standalone and works offline. There is no account, no server, and nothing to sign up for.
Check in for the day with mood, energy, sleep and a note. Each one is optional. Today's entry sits against your last seven days with a gentle streak. A weekly review surfaces your brightest and hardest day, plus a small sleep–mood pattern once there is enough data to say anything honest. History is browsable and editable.
Everything is stored in IndexedDB on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere. The app makes no network calls once it has loaded.
Export writes all your check-ins to a JSON file; import merges one back in, with the more recently edited entry winning so a restore never overwrites newer changes. That file is your only backup: if the device is lost or its storage is cleared, the data goes with it. The export is plain, unencrypted JSON, so keep it somewhere private.
Kenaz (pronounced KEN-ahz) is the Elder Futhark rune for torch: to spark, to bring into the light. It's from the runic alphabet of the early Norse and Germanic peoples, the same lineage the Vikings later carved into weapons, monuments, and amulets. In Norwegian: å tenne, å bringe frem i lyset.
Kenaz is the fire-family sibling to Ignite, my local-first ADHD task PWA: where Ignite is a small flame, kept going, Kenaz is the torch you hold up to see your week clearly. Hence the tagline.
To me, Kenaz is about consistency, reflection, and the self-care that lets you become a better version of yourself and put your energy where it counts. Coming from social work and living with ADHD, I've learned you can't pour from an empty cup: put on your own oxygen mask first, then help the person next to you. The Norwegian words I live by are the values this tool is built around: egensikkerhet, egenomsorg, ta vare på deg selv, bruk energi på det som betyr noe og som gir noe tilbake.
The Lantern: a faceted frame protecting a private reflection, with a flame at its centre that reveals patterns without judging them. A light you hold up to understand your week.

The app grew out of a C# solution that still lives here and remains the base for a planned native desktop version.
Kenaz.Core: domain model, rules, and insights. NoConsole; file IO is isolated to the storage adapters behind a repository interface.Kenaz.Console: console front-end overKenaz.Core, with its own SQLite store at%APPDATA%\Kenaz\checkins.db.Kenaz.Api: loopback-only HTTP API over the same check-ins, bound to127.0.0.1and guarded by a bearer token.Kenaz.Tests: NUnit.

dotnet run --project Kenaz.ConsoleThe console app can export its check-ins as JSON in the same format the web app imports, which is how existing data moves onto a phone.
The app is vanilla JavaScript on an MVC split, built with Vite. Styling comes from a shared design-system consumed as a read-only folder under Kenaz.Web/public/design-system. Edit it upstream, never here.
