Write, share, organise, play — all in one place

habask brings your messages, your journal, your photos and a dozen other modules together in a single app. Free, with no ads and no trackers, it installs straight from your browser — no store, nothing to download.

What a free account opens up

Thirteen modules, available the moment you sign up. Keep the ones you use and hide the rest in your settings — the dashboard arranges itself however you like.

Talking

  • MessagesTo one person or to a group. File attachments, audio and video calls, and the Flash.
  • ContactsYour people, and nobody else: a request is received, then accepted.

Keeping a record

  • JournalA feed of your own: private, contacts-only, or public. You decide with every post.
  • PhotosYour albums, shared by link with whoever you choose — and with no one else.
  • RecipesYour recipes, always within reach.

Getting organised

  • ClipA clipboard shared across your devices, without going through a third party.
  • FocusA timer for working in bursts.
  • BookmarksYour links, filed and findable.
  • WeatherThe forecast for the cities you care about.
  • World ClockWhat time it is where your people are.

Playing

  • GamesConnect Four, Battleship, quiz duel. With a contact, or by a plain link with someone who has no account.

Taking care

  • KiloByeWeight tracking, opened to a few close people — by name, never to everyone.
  • PathogensThe catalogue of resistant bacteria and hospital-acquired viruses, written for care staff.

Watching the world

  • GridThe European power grid live on a map, lines and plants. Yes, really.

The same rule everywhere

  • Free. No advertising, no trackers, no data resold.

  • Hosted in France, on a server we run ourselves.
  • No store. Installation happens from your browser, and updates arrive on their own.
  • Thirteen languages, picked from the globe at the top right.
  • You choose your modules. The ones you hide leave the menu and the home screen.

Install habask

  1. Open habask on mobile or desktop.
  2. Choose “Add to Home Screen” or “Install app” (depending on the browser).
  3. No private browsing: in private mode, local storage is blocked → installation won’t work.
    No worries about privacy: outside private mode, your exchanges stay encrypted and we don’t collect unnecessary data.

What’s a PWA?

habask is a Progressive Web App: a site that installs like an app — icon on the home screen, notifications, full screen — without going through a store. In exchange, a few things stay in the browser’s hands: notification sounds, access to certain sensors, system integration. Updates, on the other hand, arrive by themselves.

Notifications on all your devices 📲💻

Turn them on for each of your devices (phone, tablet, computer). They can all receive alerts; you choose where to reply. If one device is offline, another takes over. A message, an invitation to play, a contact posting in their journal: you say what deserves to interrupt you.

Flashes ⚡️

The Flash is an ultra-fast, disappearing text message. You send it → it shows up on the other screen → it is gone. No history, no trace; just a shared moment, alongside the conversations that do get kept.

Quick FAQ

💶 Is it really free?

Yes, and with no hidden paid tier: every module is open from the moment you sign up. habask sells neither advertising nor data; the server is funded by its author and by donations from whoever wishes to give.

🧩 What is in habask?

Messaging (one-to-one and group, with calls and files), a journal, photo albums, a shared clipboard, two-player games, a timer, the weather, world clocks, shortcuts, recipes, weight tracking, a germs catalogue and a map of the European power grid. You switch each of them on or off from your settings.

📲 How do I install habask?

Open habask and click “Install app” or “Add to Home Screen”.
Important: installation doesn’t work in private browsing (local storage is blocked). Outside private mode, your data remains encrypted and protected.

👋 Can I try without creating an account?

Yes. Guest mode opens three modules — the games, the germs catalogue and the timer — with no sign-up and no email address. Nothing is saved: whatever you do there disappears when you close the tab.

🔔 How do notifications work?

You can enable them on each of your devices. All receive alerts; you choose where to reply.

⚡️ What’s a Flash?

An ultra-fast, ephemeral text message: you send it → it shows → it disappears. (Currently, text-only flashes.)

📱 Differences from a native app?

Limited features (notification sounds, access to certain sensors, system integration), no app stores; updates via the browser.

🔒 Is my data safe?

Your exchanges are encrypted on our servers, hosted in France, and no superfluous data is collected. No advertising, no trackers, nothing resold: habask keeps only what it needs to function.
