Abstract: The $calN=8,1D$ analytic bi-harmonic superspace is shown to provide a natural setting for $calN=8$ supersymmetric mechanics associated with the off-shell multiplet $$ . The latter is described by an analytic superfield $q^{1,1}$, and we construct the general superfield and component actions for any number of such multiplets. The set of transformations preserving the flat superspace constraints on $q^{1,1}$ constitutes $calN=8$ extension of the two-dimensional Heisenberg algebra {�f h}(2), with an operator central charge. The corresponding invariant $q^{1,1}$ action is constructed. It is unique and breaks 1D scale invariance. We also find a one-parameter family of scale-invariant $q^{1,1}$ actions which, however, are not invariant under the full $calN=8$ Heisenberg supergroup. Based on preserving the bi-harmonic Grassmann analyticity, we formulate $calN=8,1D$ supergravity in terms of the appropriate analytic supervielbeins. For its truncated version we construct, both at the superfield and component levels, the first example of off-shell $q^{1,1}$ action with local $calN=8,1D$ supersymmetry. This construction can be generalized to any number of self-interacting $q^{1,1}$ .
