Find your reason for being - and actually live it, one small step at a day. Ikigai Flow blends the Japanese concept of ikigai with a real task and note system, so your to-do list finally connects to what matters: what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what sustains you. See your balance: Every task and note you create is mapped to one of the four ikigai quadrants. A weekly balance view shows you exactly which part of your life has been neglected — before it becomes a problem. Get AI-personalized guidance: As you type, Ikigai Flow suggests the right quadrant for you automatically. Premium members also get kaizen tips generated from what they're actually working on, powered by Apple Intelligence, right on your device. Build momentum you can trust Streaks, XP, levels, and achievements keep you coming back — including a Streak Freeze for Premium members, so one missed day doesn't undo your progress. Capture everything Quick tasks, longer reflections, due dates, recurring routines, and tags — organised by quadrant so nothing feels like clutter. Designed with intention A clean, minimalist interface inspired by Japanese design — no clutter, no noise, just clarity.

Monthly Trend teaser — a 30-day version of the balance view; for Pro. AI-personalized Kaizen tips — Pro users on Apple Intelligence-capable devices (iOS 26+) get a kaizen suggestion generated from the actual note they're writing, via Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework. Everyone else keeps the existing static tip bank — nothing is cut off for older devices. On-device quadrant auto-suggestion — as you type a task or note title, the app suggests the closest Ikigai quadrant using the NaturalLanguage framework (works on all supported iOS versions, no Apple Intelligence hardware required). Auto-selects until you manually pick a category yourself. Streak Freeze — Pro members get a one-day grace period; missing a single day no longer resets your streak to 1. 3 new Pro-exclusive badges (Ikigai Pro, Balance Keeper, Consistency Champion) — shown locked to free users in Achievements; tapping opens the paywall. Export as Image — Pro feature. Renders a note or task as a shareable, on-brand image card and opens the native share sheet. Native review prompt — fires once, right after a user's first task, using SKStoreReviewController. Founding Member offer — a limited one-time-pricing package, shown at the end of onboarding and, if not claimed, once more after the first task ("last opportunity"), then never surfaced again. Redesigned Tasks screen — task list is now grouped into sections by Ikigai quadrant; rows have a real tappable checkbox (To Do to Doing to Done, tap again from Done to undo) instead of a small trailing chevron; swipe left to delete or advance/undo; overdue tasks get a red left-edge bar and a red dot on the relevant tab. Notes screen — added horizontal quadrant filter chips (All / Passion / Mission / Vocation / Profession); note rows now show a quadrant icon badge instead of a thin dot and line; fixed a layout bug where the note list left a large gray gap below the last row instead of filling with the card background. Fixes Fixed the Status selector on the New Task screen not filling the full row width (buttons were hugging their content instead of expanding evenly). ### 1.01 — 2026-01-22 Fixed error with log in with Google. ### 1.0 — 2026-01-14 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Ikigai Flow | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Polish Translator: Voice,Photo](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/polish-translator-voicephoto/id1642656663) | 4.9 (12) | Free | Productivity | | [Kaizen - Tasks & Calendar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kaizen-tasks-and-calendar/id6746545640) | 1.5 (2) | Free | Productivity | | [Discipline - Goal Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/discipline-goal-tracker/id6476150142) | — | Free | Productivity | | [Taskly - Focus on what matters](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/taskly-focus-on-what-matters/id6479643691) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Productivity | | [Week Planner - Weekly Schedule](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/week-planner-weekly-schedule/id1603622750) | 4.7 (6) | Free | Productivity | | [ADHD Planner and Calendar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/adhd-planner-and-calendar/id1644831826) | 4.8 (67) | Free | Productivity | ## More apps by Lawrence Murdoch - [Us Time](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/us-time/id6755891090) - [FightForum](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fightforum/id6757604517) - [Halora - Daily Devotional](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/halora-daily-devotional/id6760786379) All apps by Lawrence Murdoch: https://appshunter.io/developer/1797916638 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
