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.
