Kantetsu 貫徹 Systems Atlas Project

Daily retrospective commitment tracker

You write the rules. Once a day, you mark whether you kept them.

It doesn't nag you, notify you, or track anything while you live the day. You look back at yesterday and answer honestly. That's the whole loop.

A single rule over thirty days Thirteen consecutive scheduled days kept, then one missed day where the run breaks and restarts, then eleven kept. Sundays are not scheduled and do not break the run. Today is not yet reviewed. Today · not yet reviewed 13 kept Missed Current run · 11
  • Kept
  • Broken — run resets
  • Not scheduled
  • Not yet reviewed

The loop

Three things happen, and nothing else does.

Once

Write the rules

Your commitments, in your own words. Each one runs every day, or only on the days you choose.

Each day

Look back at yesterday

Mark each rule kept or broken. Nothing was measured while you lived the day. You are the only source.

Then close it

Leave one note

140 characters on how the day felt. Not a journal — a margin note you'll actually reread.


Strict by design

Most habit apps forgive a missed day. This one doesn't.

A kept run counts consecutive scheduled days. Miss a day you were due, and the run goes to zero. No freezes, no repairs, no grace period, no second chances bought with points.

That is what the name means. A streak that forgives you isn't measuring anything.

Today stays blank until you log it. It isn't counted as missed — it just hasn't been reviewed yet.

In the app

Enough to be honest with yourself, and no more.

Rules and schedules

A rule runs every day, or only on the days you pick — exercise on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Each rule tracks its own current streak, best streak, and adherence percentage.

History-aware schedules

Once a rule has been logged, its schedule locks going forward. Change it and the change applies from today on — past streaks are never retroactively rewritten. Titles stay editable, so typos are fixable. The maths stays honest.

Calendar

Every day at a glance: kept, broken, or incomplete. Filter to a single rule to see how you've held one specific commitment over time.

Insights

Per-rule kept rates over the last 30 days and all time. Weekly kept-rate bars. An app-wide chart of what fraction of your rules you kept each day, with a weekly average drawn over it.

Archive

Retire a rule and it keeps its history. Reveal archived rules whenever you want to look back.

Local-first

The app works entirely without an account. Your rules and your days live on your device.

Sync

An optional account will carry your history between devices — a manual upload or download, your choice of direction, never a silent merge.

Deliberately absent

What a quiet app leaves out.


On the name

kan
pierce,
carry through
tetsu
penetrate
thoroughly

貫徹 — resolve carried through to the end. The whole word means not stopping until it's done.

The Japanese naming isn't decoration. English lacks single unclaimed words for these compressed ideas. Japanese has them.

In development

Kantetsu isn't out yet.

The app is built. Sync between devices is still being finished. When it reaches the App Store, it will be here.
