Pick one habit. Every day you do it plants a seed on a cozy 66-plot farm, and your pet, Hibiko, grows a little. Miss a day and nothing dies — it just waits for you.
the whole ideaMost habit apps hand you a list, a streak counter and a chart, and then quietly make you feel bad when the line dips. That works for about a week. Hibiko goes the other way: one habit, one small step on the screen, and a companion that is happy to see you whenever you show up.
Every completed day plants a crop on a 66-plot field, and your pet grows as the field fills in. Skip a day and that plot simply stays empty — nothing withers, nobody dies, and no one lectures you. Tomorrow you pick up where you left off.
For when your phone is the problem: focus mode (Premium) keeps the apps you choose locked from your habit time until you've done the habit. Do it, and the phone is yours again. It's entirely optional — made for the days when "just one more video" keeps winning.
Hibiko is built for people with ADHD and anyone else who bounces off the spreadsheet school of self-improvement. What's deliberately not in it:
If you want to track eight habits, log macros, see a heatmap of your year, or chat with an AI coach — Hibiko is the wrong app and there are better ones. It's also not a mental-health product: it doesn't diagnose or treat anything, and it's not a substitute for a therapist.
next to the others| app | the shape of it | pick it over Hibiko when… |
|---|---|---|
| Finch | Self-care pet with a wide surface of daily tasks and a gentle gamified loop. | You want breadth — mood check-ins, journaling, many small tasks — rather than one hard commitment. |
| Fabulous | Coached routine builder with structured programs and heavy onboarding. | You want a whole morning routine designed for you, not a single habit. |
| Habitica | RPG habit tracker with parties, quests and gear. | Game mechanics genuinely motivate you and you like managing systems. |
| Streaks | Clean, fast multi-habit tracker built around the streak. | You already do the habit and just want a tidy record of it. |
| Hibiko | One habit, 66 days, a pet on a cozy farm that grows with you and never dies — plus an optional focus mode that locks distracting apps. | You want exactly one habit to stick, without guilt, and your phone keeps getting in the way. |
Descriptions of other apps reflect their positioning as of 2026 and are meant as an honest routing guide, not a knock — several of them are excellent at what they do.
the money partThe basic habit plan and the farm are free. Premium unlocks focus mode, a 66-day series of lock-screen quotes written for your habit, and every Plus outfit in the shop.
Premium is an in-app subscription through the App Store and Google Play. Available plans, full period prices and any trial you're eligible for are shown in the app before you pay, and they vary by country and store. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled and can be managed in your store account.
the nameFrom the Japanese hibi (日々) — "every day." Big changes grow out of small seeds planted every day, which is both the name and the entire mechanic.
the usual questionsBecause tracking five habits at once is the most common way to do none of them. While a journey is running you cannot add a second habit. You finish the 66 days, you harvest, and then you start again with a new one.
Hibiko was designed for scattered minds. No to-do lists, no points, no charts, no streak counter, no shaming — all deliberately left out. The screen shows one small step for today. Hibiko is not a medical product; it does not diagnose or treat anything.
A short, gentle notification arrives at the habit time you chose. You can also add Hibiko to your home screen as a widget and see it without opening the app.
No. Hibiko never dies, never sulks and never blames you. That is a deliberate design decision: guilt-based apps work for a week and get deleted in a month. On a day you skip, no seed gets planted. That is all.

Yes. In pair mode you invite a friend with a code. You each do your own habit, see whether the other has done theirs today, and can send each other little stickers. Nobody gets shamed.
iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). The interface is in Turkish and English.
Focus mode is optional and part of Premium. Turn it on and the apps you picked stay shut until you have done your habit. It runs through Screen Time (Family Controls) on iOS and an accessibility service on Android.
You harvest your field and the journey is saved to your history. Then you can start a fresh 66 days with a new habit. Your companion, its cosmetics and everything it collected stay with you.
With a one-time code sent to your email. There is no password, and no phone number is needed.
Finch is a self-care pet app with a broad surface of daily tasks and a gentle gamified loop. Hibiko narrows all the way down to one habit over 66 days, plants a farm that fills in as you go, and offers an optional focus mode that locks distracting apps until the habit is done. If you want a wide self-care surface, Finch fits better. If you want one habit to finally stick, Hibiko is built for exactly that.
