Kindling FAQ

Question 1

What is Kindling?

Accepted Answer

Kindling is a free daily habit tracker at mykindling.app. You name the habits you want to keep, check them off, and the week lights itself. It includes timed reminders, a streak calendar, report-card grades, 365 daily quotes on habit and discipline, shareable habit lists, and three quiet Focus puzzles. There is no account. Your list stays on this device.

Question 2

Is Kindling free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kindling is free. There is nothing to subscribe to and no in-app store.

Question 3

Do I need an account to use Kindling?

Accepted Answer

No. Kindling does not create an account and does not ask you to sign in. Open mykindling.app and start.

Question 4

Where does Kindling store my habits?

Accepted Answer

On this device, in the browser. Kindling does not keep a server of your list, check-ins, or puzzle scores. Clearing the site’s data clears that copy. Another phone starts blank unless you bring a list over yourself.

Question 5

How does Kindling count kindlers?

Accepted Answer

The bottom of Kindling shows a public flame tally. It starts from 100 kindlers, 500 habits, and 1,000 embers. Each device that opens Kindling sends a random token stored in that browser, plus two numbers: how many habits are on the list, and how many checks are marked. No names, no streaks, no account. The counts grow from those pulses.

Question 6

Does Kindling work in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The site is available in English and Español. Open Settings and choose a language. Kindling also picks Spanish on first visit when the browser language starts with es. Product names stay Kindling, Ember, Wick, and Pairs. The 365 daily quotes stay in their original English.

Question 7

Are Kindling’s daily quotes translated into Spanish?

Accepted Answer

No. Quotes stay in the original English so the line is the one the author wrote. Buttons, settings, help, and the rest of the site can be Spanish.

Question 8

What is Kindling’s quote of the day?

Accepted Answer

Kindling keeps 365 quotes on habit, discipline, and showing up — Aristotle, James Clear, Maya Angelou, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Confucius, and other figures people still quote. One is surfaced each day. Browse the year at mykindling.app/quotes.

Question 9

Can I install Kindling on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kindling is a web app you can add to the Home Screen (iPhone: Share, then Add to Home Screen; Android: browser menu, Add to Home Screen). It works as a small installed app with its own icon.

Question 10

How do Kindling grades work?

Accepted Answer

The report card follows the days that habit is on. A weekend habit lights B at one check and A at both. A three-day habit lights C, B, then A. A full week still uses C 70%, B 80%, A Kindled 90%. Lit marks can be shared as a story card.

Question 11

Can I share my habit list?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Share a QR or link to your list, or start from a starter pack on mykindling.app/lists (Morning, Spirit, Body, Kindness, Gym, Health, Home, Mind, Kids, Pills, Study, Pets, and more). Sift by Daily, Health, Fitness, Spirit, Chores, Education, or Mind. A friend chooses what to add. Matching names can update. Streaks never copy. Checkmarks stay on each device.

Question 12

What are Kindling habit starter lists?

Accepted Answer

Kindling starter lists are free habit packs you add on this device: Spirit (chose faith, prayed, devotions, showed gratitude, expressed love), Body (skipped a drink, skipped a smoke, skipped fast food, drank water, walked a little), Kindness (smiled today, helped a stranger, paid it forward, sent a kind word, wrote a thank-you), plus Morning, Desk, Evening, Gym, and others. Browse them at mykindling.app/lists. There is no account. Checks stay on this device.

Question 13

What are Ember Notes?

Accepted Answer

Ember Notes are short essays on how a habit catches: a kind scorecard with a partner, tiny starts, stacking, a child’s grate, marking the skip instead of the vice, laying tomorrow’s bark, rest without shame. They live at mykindling.app/notes. The essays follow English or Spanish from Settings. Quoted lines inside a note stay in the original English, like Kindled Quotes. You can listen on this device — nothing is sent away.

Question 14

What is Spark?

Accepted Answer

Spark is Kindling’s press kit at mykindling.app/spark. It has approved copy, logos, 16:9 and 9:16 social graphics, short reels, and product screenshots. Please use the name Kindling and the domain mykindling.app.
