Hibitsumugi is a daily journaling app where you keep a one-page diary each day, and your animal companion, "Aibou," grows little by little.
Even if you take a day off, your Aibou won't weaken. Its growth so far remains unchanged.
■ Easy to Use
・Simply select what you did today from the categories (as fast as 2 taps). You can save short notes without writing them.
・Frequently used categories appear at the top. Other categories such as "Walking," "Reading," "Cooking," and "Cleaning" can be selected from "+ Other," and you can also add your own categories.
■ Choose Your Aibou from 16 Types
・Fox, Rabbit, Bear, Cat, Little Bird, Otter, Raccoon Dog, Deer, Shiba Inu, Japanese Squirrel, Flying Squirrel, Japanese Monkey, Wild Boar, Red-crowned Crane, Owl, Serow
・Choose your animal by answering 6 questions, or select your favorite animal from the list. You can also freely name it.
■ Daily Records Directly Reflect Growth
- Depending on the selected items, your pet will grow in one of seven areas: "Body," "Intelligence," "Shine," "Skills," "Lifestyle," "Connections," and "Heart."
- From baby to child, youth, and adult. Daily recording will result in a complete pet in approximately three years. After reaching completion, you can choose to continue raising your pet together or welcome a second pet. Your first pet will always be by your side.
■ No Evaluation for Breaks or Comparisons
- Even if you take a break, your pet's growth won't decrease. The number of consecutive days of recording is not displayed.
- "Shine" refers to changes in your pet's fur. It doesn't score your appearance.
■ Learning and Restarting Tools Remain the Same
- Recall Practice: Practice recalling before looking at the answer, and review at intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30 days. You can also create your own cards (the review interval is the default setting and may not be optimal for everyone).
* **Small Steps:** Break down big goals into small steps you can take today. Start with a 30-second shortened version on busy days.
* **Continue Bookmarks:** Leave a record of your progress and your next step, allowing you to resume from where you left off. You can send text and links to your "Inbox" from other apps' sharing menus.
* **Reflection:** Review past days on the journal calendar and write a short weekly reflection.
* **Days you practice recalling or take small steps using the app are counted towards your progress.**
■ Readability
* Switches between bright and calm, dark displays depending on your device settings (you can also fix one in settings).
* Opens instantly from the home screen widget (does not display goals or records).
■ Privacy and Security
* No account registration required. No ads, analytics, or external AI services are used.
* This app itself does not communicate with the internet. Records are stored on your device, and the text is encrypted.

* Notifications are only sent when you have set them up. Goal names and record contents will not appear in notifications.
