Self-care, kept small

What Migachi is good for

Little everyday things that look after you, with your own pet beside you.

  • Small things, done

    Drink water or eat a real meal, then tick it off. Your pet gets a treat each time.

  • Gentle routines

    Keep the list short. Three things done is a great day, and you can change your goals any time.

  • Off days are okay

    Snooze or pause any goal whenever you need to. There are no streaks to lose.

  • A pet who is glad to see you

    Your pet waits in its little house, ready to cuddle or play ball whenever you stop by.

  • Quiet focus time

    Start a 25 minute Focus and your pet stays in the room with you while you work.

  • Friends, if you like

    Add a friend with a code and visit their pet. Share a goal and they can cheer it.

Why Migachi

Small goals are easier with company.

A glass of water, a real meal, five minutes of tidying. None of it is hard, and all of it slips on a busy day. Migachi gives those small things a reason to happen: a little pet who is happy every time you do one.

How it works

From your pet to a pixel pet

  1. Sign-up: the pixel pet bed, ready for your pet

    Start with a photo of your pet

    Pick dog or cat and give them a name. Migachi draws them as a pixel pet.

  2. Sign-up: choosing small daily goals

    Pick a few small goals

    Drink water, a real meal, a quick tidy. Three are picked to start, and you can swap any of them.

  3. Home on a good day: the goals bar full and a gift waiting

    Tick one off and they celebrate

    Your pet gets a treat and hops for joy, and you earn coins for toys and things for the house.

Dogs and cats

Your pet keeps you on track

Dog or cat, your pet sits right above the day's list and is happy each time you tick something off.

What is Migachi?

Migachi is an iPhone app where your dog or cat becomes a pixel pet. Your pet lives in a little house called Rose Cottage and cheers you on through a few small goals each day.

Which pets can I bring?

Dogs and cats. You pick which one in the first step.

What kind of goals are they?

Small, everyday ones you choose, like drink water, one real meal or a five minute tidy. Tick one and your pet gets a treat. Tick three different goals in a day and a gift appears.

Is there a widget?

Yes. The Home Screen widget shows your checklist and your pet's room, and it changes through the day: morning, midday, evening and night.

What can my friends see?

Friends see your pet's name and drawing, whether a pet has passed, and the name you pick for yourself, which you can change. Your goals stay private unless you share one, and then only the friends you pick see it and whether it is done today. Friends you add with a code can visit your pet's house and play together, unless you turn visits off.

It can be. There is a quiet path for a pet who is gone, with no care list, no reminders and no prizes. Just their little house to visit.
