Last year I tracked my days in a spreadsheet. Not in a done / not-done way, but with a 0–100 score based on effort and intent.

Reading 10 pages still mattered even if the goal was 30. That small shift actually helped me stay consistent.

I wanted to do the same thing in 2026, but just rebuilding that spreadsheet (again) was a pain so I stopped fighting it and vibe coded a tiny app instead.

Zilnic is just that: rate your day, add a note, see some simple stats over time. No streak anxiety. No guilt. No “you failed today” energy.

It works with or without an account if you want to try it.

Landing page doesn't say what it is, what it does, or what data it's tracking. Or what kind of security/privacy features it has.

There are links for terms & privacy with this info - but it was only on the login page (so I guess it was easy to miss). I fixed that by adding the links at the bottom of the page also.

Thanks for your feedback!
