Track

Getting a session in should take seconds, or you will stop doing it.

The Hitasura dashboard: a 24-day streak, today's totals by category, quick-log shortcuts for a podcast, an italki lesson, a light novel, Frieren and shadowing, and a countdown to the JLPT N2. — Quick-log shortcuts and today’s totals, on the dashboard.

Quick-log shortcuts and today’s totals, on the dashboard.

The Hitasura timer running at 23 minutes on an anime title, with Pause and Finish buttons and a notes box. — The timer. Start it here, finish it on any device.

The timer. Start it here, finish it on any device.

Log a session: Date, duration, what it was, and a note if you want one. Optional ratings for difficulty, comprehension and enjoyment.
Timer: Start the clock and log exactly what you did instead of estimating afterwards. Survives closing the app; pauses and resumes.
Quick-log shortcuts: One tap for the thing you log constantly. The shortcut fixes the category, activity and title; you fill in the duration.
Backfill: Log what you did last week. Backfilled sessions are marked, so they never distort what a typical session looks like.
Spreadsheet import: Bring an existing history across from .xlsx. Nothing is written until you have reviewed it, and re-importing recognises what is already there rather than doubling it.

Organise

The part most trackers stop short of.

Hitasura settings: five categories, each with its own colour swatch and a row of editable activity chips beneath. — Categories and activities, each with its own colour, all of it yours to change.

Categories and activities, each with its own colour, all of it yours to change.

The Hitasura media page listing titles by time spent: Nihongo Con Teppei, Comprehensible Japanese, コンビニ人間, 葬送のフリーレン and more, each with its category and hours. — Titles: every show, book and podcast, with the time you have given it.

Titles: every show, book and podcast, with the time you have given it.

Languages: Each keeps its own categories, activities, titles, goals, journal and analytics. Switching changes scope and never moves data.
Categories: Watching, Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing to begin with — then rename, reorder, add and retire until it matches your life.
Activities: The level beneath a category. Podcast, audiobook and radio are three different habits, and your history should say so.
Titles: The actual show, book or podcast. This is what turns "58 hours of reading" into something you can recognise.
Archiving: Retire a category or activity without deleting anything. Every session and every statistic stays intact.

Understand

Every figure is computed from the sessions you logged. Nothing is estimated.

The Hitasura analytics page: a daily line chart over ninety days and a category-share donut. — Analytics: where the hours went, by category, activity and title.

Analytics: where the hours went, by category, activity and title.

The Hitasura history page: sessions grouped by day with their titles, activities and durations, and filters across the top. — History, filtered and grouped by day.

The Hitasura journey: a timeline of milestones such as 250 hours of listening and 100 hours of reading, newest first. — The journey: the whole record as a timeline.

The journey: the whole record as a timeline.

The Hitasura journal: dated entries with mood, energy and confidence beside the time logged that day. — The journal, beside how much you actually did.

The journal, beside how much you actually did.

The Hitasura calendar: a year of days as a heatmap, month by month, with daily average, days logged, longest streak and current streak beneath. — The calendar, in the Anki green ramp. Ten ramps to choose from, each mixed against the surface so it inverts with your theme.

Dashboard: Today at a glance, with streaks and recent activity.
History: Every session, newest first. Filter, edit, bulk-select, and undo a deletion.
Calendar: A heatmap of every day you showed up. Click a day for the detail.
Analytics: Breakdowns by category, activity and title.
Media: Where your hours went, by title.
Journey: The whole thing as a timeline, in the order it happened.
Journal: A short note per day, beside how much you actually did.
Insights: Observations drawn from your own log — what grew, what slipped, how consistent you have been.

Stay with it

Motivation without the noise.

The Hitasura goals page: daily, weekly and monthly goals with progress bars and pace, a count goal for shadowing, a goal tied to the JLPT N2 date, and personal records beneath. — Goals with your pace against them, including a count goal and one tied to a date.

The Hitasura achievements page: 128 of 178 unlocked, recently earned badges and the ones still to come. — Achievements, earned from what you have actually logged.

Achievements, earned from what you have actually logged.

Goals: Daily, weekly or monthly targets, with your pace against them, and a note on the dashboard when you meet one. Three on Free; unlimited on PRO, and scoped to an activity or a single title.
Goals by count: Aim at sessions instead of minutes: watch a film twice this month, listen to a podcast five times this week. Each session counts once, however long it ran.
Dates that matter: Mark an exam, a trip or a deadline. It appears on the calendar, counts down on the dashboard, and can carry a one-off goal of its own.
Reminders: A notification on your phone, once a day at most, and only when there is something to say: a day you have not logged, or a date you marked getting close. Off until you switch it on.
Streaks: Current and longest, counted in your own timezone and your own day boundary.
Achievements: Earned from what you have actually logged, not from opening the app.
Personal records: Longest session, best day, week and month. Per-category records on PRO.

Go deeper

Hitasura PRO is for people who want to understand the record, not just keep it.

Ask My History on Android: the question "Which activity do I keep coming back to?" answered in a card, "Watching is your most consistent activity", with the figures behind it, and suggested follow-up questions beneath. — Ask your history: an answer drawn from your own log, with the figures behind it.

Advanced analyticsPRO: Time-of-day and weekday patterns, session length, active against passive, custom and long ranges, and the full breakdown by title.
Multiple languagesPRO: Every language you are learning, kept completely separate.
Ask your historyPRO: Ask a question in plain language, such as how much you read in March or which podcast you keep returning to, and get an answer drawn from your own log. There is a monthly allowance, shown in the app, and the figures are computed first; the model only phrases them.
Written insightsPRO: Your statistics, put into words. The figures are always computed first — the model phrases them and never invents one.
Language ReportsPRO: A weekly or monthly email about one language, in your timezone: totals, what changed, goals met, records set.
Automatic backupsPRO: Daily or weekly, kept privately, with history you can download or restore from.

Own it

Your history is yours, and getting it out is never the paid part.

The Hitasura Backup and Restore card with a daily schedule and backup history, and the spreadsheet and JSON export options beneath. — Backups that run themselves, and exports that are always free.

Backups that run themselves, and exports that are always free.

Spreadsheet export: An .xlsx of your sessions, readable by anything, and re-importable here.
Full backup: A complete, versioned JSON copy of your whole account — every language, session, goal, journal entry and setting.
Restore: Put a backup back. Restoring replaces rather than merges, so it cannot duplicate your history, and it happens in one transaction — if anything fails, nothing changes.
Delete everything: Close the account and it is gone, along with all of it.

The shape of it

Five levels, so a session is a thing that happened rather than a number in a row.

Questions

Is Hitasura only for Japanese?: No. It works for any language, and you choose yours when you start. The name is Japanese; the product is not.
Do I need the mobile app?: No. The web app is the whole product and works in a phone browser. The iOS and Android apps are coming soon, and everything you log on the web will be waiting in them.
Can I bring my existing spreadsheet?: Yes. Import an .xlsx, review what will be added, and confirm. Re-importing recognises what is already there rather than doubling it.
What does the AI see?: Only computed statistics: totals, changes and breakdowns. Your raw journal entries and session notes are never sent, and if you never use the AI features nothing is sent at all.
What does PRO cost?: Pricing is announced at launch. Subscriptions are not on sale yet, and the free plan is complete without them.
