Our Flagship Product:

Butterfly Effect.

Butterfly Effect is a gamified diary and habit-tracking mobile application. Users hatch and raise a virtual pixel-art pet caterpillar by feeding it 'habit leaves' earned through daily journaling and task completion. Through AI-powered insights, it helps users understand their emotional patterns and suggests personalized habits.

  • Interactive 'Habit Leaves' economy
  • AI-powered emotional analysis & feedback
  • Daily 'Fortune Cookies' for mental wellness
  • Retro-inspired pixel-art UI/UX
