The cozy habit app

Habits that hold,
even when you don’t.

One small action a day, a free freeze for when life wins, and a penguin who’s extremely proud of you.

Go on — grab one.

A whole shelf of Nivo — icons and moods you earn in the app by actually showing up, with more on the way.

How it works

Three taps to start

No setup weekend, no spreadsheet. Nivolo asks for one small thing a day and keeps the rest out of your way.

  1. 1

    Name the goal

    Tell Nivo what you're after and why it matters. He'll break it into steps small enough to actually do.

  2. 2

    Log one action a day

    Fifteen minutes of guitar. One short run. Tap it in, earn your Pecks, watch the streak grow.

  3. 3

    Collect the gem

    Finish the goal and it becomes a one-of-a-kind gem on your shelf — proof you saw it through.

What's inside

Consistency, made comfortable

Everything in Nivolo is designed so that showing up daily feels good — and missing a day doesn't ruin everything.

Streaks

Miss a day, not your momentum.

Streaks in Nivolo are forgiving by design. Life happens — your progress shouldn't vanish because of one busy Tuesday.

  • A free streak freeze every week, applied automatically
  • Broke anyway? Repair it right from the home screen
  • Gentle reminders, never guilt trips

Rest days

Recharge without breaking anything.

Consistency isn't perfection. Schedule rest days ahead of time and your streak stays protected while you take a breather.

  • Plan rest days around your real life
  • Your streak is safe while you're off
  • Gentle pace — no guilt, no pressure

Pecks & the shop

Every check-in pays.

Each action you log earns Pecks. Spend them on outfits and goodies for Nivo — your progress, wearing a tiny hat.

  • Earn Pecks for every completed action
  • Dress up Nivo with outfits from the shop
  • Bonus Pecks for milestones and perfect weeks

Gems

A shelf full of finished goals.

Finish a goal and a one-of-a-kind gem joins your Trophy Shelf — a season-by-season record of what you've achieved.

  • A unique gem for every goal you complete
  • Seasonal shelves archive your progress
  • A little reveal moment every time you finish

Your progress

See the week, not just the day.

Levels, streaks and lifetime Pecks in one place — plus a gentle Sunday recap of what stuck and one small suggestion for the week ahead.

  • Streak, Pecks and goals finished at a glance
  • Badges for the milestones worth noticing
  • A calm weekly summary, never a scoreboard

Home screen

Your streak, always in sight.

A home-screen widget keeps today's progress one glance away, and unlockable app icons let Nivolo match your vibe.

  • Widget with your streak and today's goals
  • Unlockable app icons in the shop
  • Seasonal looks throughout the year

The collection

Every icon has a story

Nivo's icons aren't decoration. Each one turns up for a different kind of showing up — and you'll only meet it by earning it.

Start here

The ones you'll meet in your first week or two

Classic

The first Nivo. The same face he had on day one — and the one waiting whenever you come back.

Waiting

By the door with his coat on since the moment you woke up. Nivo is nothing if not eager.

Grumpy

Some mornings the habit wins and the mood doesn't. He turns up anyway, and he'd like that noted.

Relieved

The exhale that comes a few mornings in, when showing up stops feeling like a decision.

Focused

Nothing exists but the next small thing. Nivo is extremely busy and would rather not be disturbed.

Snowy

Arrives after your first proper week. Nivo swears it always snows right before something starts to stick.

Love

Somewhere in that first week a habit stops being a chore and starts being yours. He felt it before you did.

Melting

The face of a streak that nearly went. A freeze went off in the night, and he's still dripping with relief.

Turbo

Past a certain point the momentum starts pushing you along. Nivo suggests holding on to something.

Further out

Rarer, stranger, harder-won

  • Repair

    Tape, patience and a second chance. Broken streaks are fixable.

  • Sleepy

    Caught before sunrise. He didn't think anyone else was up either.

  • Upside Down

    Nivo keeps strange hours too. It all makes more sense after midnight.

  • Blaze

    Carried up out of the old fire under the ice. It finds the ones who don't cool off.

  • Rainy

    Grey days count double. This one's for the people who showed up anyway.

  • Sick

    Everyone goes under sometimes. This one shows up for the getting back out.

  • Revived

    Everyone thought that streak was gone. Then it stood back up.

  • Party

    He's held that confetti since the day you set the goal. Finishing it opens his hands.

  • Squished

    A whole day's worth in one go. Regrets nothing, cannot move.

  • Starstruck

    He looked at what you'd built and forgot how to blink.

  • Bored

    He's done this so many times he could do it asleep. That's the point.

  • Ghost

    A long stretch of quiet, faithful days leaves something behind.

  • Peekaboo

    Hiding behind the ice a good while, seeing if you'd keep coming back.

  • Golden

    Deep under the shelf there's a seam of gold. Almost nobody walks that far.

  • Champion

    There's a shelf in the ice for the very consistent. He won't come down.

  • Detective

    A hundred small clues about who you are. He's read every one.

  • Glitch

    You went so far the ice started skipping. Almost nobody sees this one.

  • ?

    A few more are still being drawn. You'll meet them when they're ready.

Twenty-six so far, and counting. What each one takes is something you find out in the app.

Yours alone

No account. No cloud. No tracking.

Open Nivolo and start — there's no sign-up wall, because there's nothing to sign up for. Your goals, streaks, Pecks and gems live on your iPhone, not on our server.

Nothing you write leaves your phone. Optional AI features are on the way — when they arrive they will be exactly that, optional, and tied to a random ID rather than to you. Read the privacy policy.

Questions

Before you download

Do I need an account?

No. There's no sign-up and no password. Nivolo opens straight into the app and keeps your data on your iPhone.

What happens if I miss a day?

Usually nothing. You get a free streak freeze every week that's applied automatically, and you can schedule rest days in advance. If a streak does break, you can repair it from the home screen.

Is it really free?

Yes, and there are no ads. Every habit feature — unlimited goals, streaks, freezes, rest days, Pecks, gems, Season in Review, the widget — is free on Gaia, forever. The one paid tier, Zephyr, is optional: it doubles your Pecks, opens the whole icon set and gives you a streak freeze every day.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Nivolo is iPhone-only for now.

What languages does it support?

English and Simplified Chinese (简体中文). You pick during setup and can switch any time in Settings.

Will I get nagged with notifications?

Only if you want them. Reminders are off-by-default in tone — one gentle daily nudge at a time you choose — and every category can be switched off in Settings.

What if I switch phones?

Your data is included in your standard iPhone backup, so restoring a backup to a new phone brings Nivolo with it.

Your first goal takes 30 seconds.
