Gigi

I believe in you. One tiny thing at a time.

How Gigil works

  1. Hatch your egg

    Tap your wobbly Jelly Egg three times. Out pops Gigi, ready to meet you. Give your pet any name you like.

  2. Care for yourself

    Pick tiny goals, like one glass of water. Each one you finish fills your pet with squish energy.

  3. Grow up together

    Care days add up. Your pet grows from Baby to Grown-up and learns new moves on the way.

A day with your pet

Small on purpose. Most days take a few minutes.

  1. Morning

    Check in and open your surprise

    Pick one of five moods, add a feeling and what is behind it. Then open your morning surprise.

  2. Daytime

    Tiny goals, your size

    Low battery? Tap Make it smaller and the goal shrinks to something you can do right now.

  3. Evening

    Wind down and reflect

    Check in again and write a line in your reflections journal. Each month shows you gentle patterns.

Streaks with a safety net
