Download for AndroidWhat it does
Kizamu keeps track of the habits and small goals you want to keep up, and makes it a bit of a game.
Daily, weekly, monthly and long-term goals
Check a goal off, count up to a target like 8 glasses of water, work through a checklist, or do it on any 3 days of the week. Long-term goals can have a deadline.
Timers and pomodoro
Timed goals have a timer that keeps running when you close the app, with a live count in your notifications. Pomodoro mode splits the time into focus blocks and breaks.
Streaks, XP and badges
Each check-off earns XP. You get a streak freeze for every 7 days in a row, and new colors, app icons and effects as you level up. There are 27 badges to collect.
Habits you want to stop
Add something like "No sugar" and it counts as done every day. Tap it only on a day you slip.
Treats
XP also earns coins. Set your own rewards, like an episode of a show for 30 coins, and buy them when you've earned them.
Two home screen widgets
One lists today's goals so you can check them off from the home screen. The other shows a single goal with buttons for it, like starting its timer.
Stats for each goal
A habit strength score that doesn't drop to zero after one missed day, plus your best streak, time logged, a chart of the last 8 weeks and the notes you wrote.
Vacation mode and skipping
Pause everything until a date, pause one goal, or skip a goal for the day when you're sick. None of it counts against your streak.
A weekly review
See how the week went next to the week before, which goals went well and which ones keep slipping. Get it as a notification every Sunday if you like.
Templates, shortcuts and spreadsheets
Start a goal from a ready-made one, check things off or start a timer by long-pressing the app icon, and export your history as a CSV file.

刻む
Kizamu (刻む) is Japanese for "to carve" or "to mark off", the way a clock marks time one tick at a time. Each check-off is one more notch. The tagline, kotsukotsu (コツコツ), is the sound of a chisel, and means doing something steadily, little by little.
