Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Ken, a solo developer from Japan. I built Habit-chi because I had a very specific problem: I've　downloaded and abandoned more habit trackers than I can count. The problem I kept hitting: Every habit app felt like a spreadsheet with notifications. Miss a day? Nothing happens. The streak resets silently and the app doesn't care. So I stopped caring too. The idea: What if there was something that actually felt it when you skipped a day? I grew up with Tamagotchi, and I remembered how guilty I felt when my virtual pet was unhappy. That emotional connection was missing from every productivity app I'd tried. How Habit-chi works: - You raise an animated virtual pet alongside your habits - Complete habits → affection goes up → your pet evolves into new forms - Skip habits → affection drops → your pet gets visibly sad - Let affection hit zero → your pet runs away (yes, really) - 20+ animated characters with sprite-sheet animations (they actually move, not just static images) - Earn badges for streaks and pet milestones - Everything runs offline on your device — no account, no server, no personal data collected Some honest numbers: - Solo built with React Native / Expo - Available in 22 languages - iOS rating: 4.6/5 — Android rating: 4.5/5 What's next: - More characters to collect - Detailed habit statistics I'd love to hear: 1. Does the "pet runs away" concept feel motivating or too anxiety-inducing? 2. What feature would make you actually stick with a habit tracker? Happy to answer any questions about the build, the design decisions, or the indie dev journey. Thanks for checking it out! 🐣
