About Favabeans
Favabeans is a set of small, free apps for the everyday hard bits: seeing time, getting started, remembering, eating, talking and winding down. They open in your web browser on a phone or computer, in English and Arabic.
Who makes it
Favabeans is the one-person studio of Alzayat Saleh. The name comes from a favourite food. Good software should be like it: simple, honest and good for you.
What it is for
Each app does one job, asks for nothing and keeps your things on your own device. The apps are neurodivergent-friendly and work for anyone who wants a calmer tool.
Why is it free?
Running it costs very little, so there are no ads and no subscriptions. Installed apps keep working offline.
Your privacy, in short
- No accounts, no ads and no cookies.
- What you add stays in your browser, on your device.
- Sync between your devices is optional and end-to-end encrypted, so Favabeans can’t read it.
- One exception: Tiny Steps’ smart steps send the task you type to Cloudflare’s AI, which doesn’t store it. You can switch to offline steps any time.
