## What is Kairo?

Become who you keep saying you'll be.

Read more. Walk more. Get off your phone. Wake up earlier. Kairo turns the things you keep promising yourself into tiny daily habits you prove every day, with your friends by your side.

HOW IT WORKS
•⁠  ⁠Tell Kairo what you keep saying you'll do.
•⁠  ⁠Kairo makes it small enough to start today, like 1 page a day or 5K steps.
•⁠  ⁠Prove it with a photo, your steps from Apple Health or your screen time.
•⁠  ⁠Your friends see your proof and cheer you on.

BETTER WITH FRIENDS
•⁠  ⁠Make a pact with a friend and keep each other going.
•⁠  ⁠Start a challenge: 7 days, 30 days, or make your own.
•⁠  ⁠See your friends' proofs live on your Home Screen with widgets.
•⁠  ⁠React and chat when someone shows up.

YOUR KAIRO, YOUR WAY
•⁠  ⁠Pick the eyes, the mouth and the emojis around your Kairo.
•⁠  ⁠Choose a scene and paint it in your colors.
•⁠  ⁠Earn coins every time you show up and spend them on new looks.

OFF DAYS HAPPEN
Kairo has 4 lives, so one missed day isn't the end. Come back and keep going.

WAKE UP EARLIER
Alarms with a mission: math, shake, push-ups or a photo of an object. No more snooze.

START IN A MINUTE
No sign-up needed. Start as a guest and save your account anytime, so you never lose your Kairo or your streak.

KAIRO GOLD
Kairo is a subscription called Kairo Gold, and your first 7 days are free. You'll see the price before you start.
•⁠  ⁠Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase or, if you start a free trial, when the trial ends.
•⁠  ⁠Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
•⁠  ⁠You can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings.

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2026-09-15*

Essa b0sta não tocou e eu perdi o horário. E querem cobrar por esse lixo de app

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2026-07-21*

Esse é o pior app que eu já vi. A estética até parece boa e ele promete ser útil, mas simplesmente não deixa você entrar no aplicativo para ver as informações. A todo momento aparece uma tela mandando você pagar, e nem tem um “X” para fechar e continuar usando. Eu daria zero estrelas, mas não tem essa opção. Horrível!

### 3/5 — Bom mas não pude usar
