Habits don't stick alone. Malangchedule is a free routine app where your Mallang and your real friends keep you going. Your focus time becomes its meal, and the study room shows who studied how much today. ■ Hold 0.6s, done Hold a card to check it off; a tap just opens details. No accidental check-offs in your pocket. Every habit completes its own way: once, counted, timed, or resisted. Steps, exercise, and sleep fill in automatically from the Health app. Log English words and Write a journal open a word list and a journal page when you hold them. ■ You raise both Mallangotchi and Mallang Pet Finishing a routine grows the two of them together, and care and notifications run for each. Mallangotchi — a pixel friend that grows with your routines and study. Mallang Pet — a real pet you feed, play with and dress up. The only thing you pick in settings is who studies with you — which one shows up in the study room and on a friend's home. Switch any time. Outfits show on friends' homes and in the study room too. It never dies when you are away. It grows exactly as much as you care. ■ Study side by side The study room tab shows who studied how much today, in running totals. Friends currently studying light up in color. The best study hall is a seat next to a hardworking friend. ■ A focus timer with friends 10, 15, 25, or 50-minute Pomodoro, with the study room right under the timer and your study buddy sitting next to you. Records stack up in daily, weekly, and monthly stats. ■ Timetable and calendar in one place In the Schedule tab, flip between your timetable and calendar, and see the day's to-dos, events and routines as a list or a timeline. Multi-day stretches like exam weeks stay in view. ■ A routine home friends drop by Connect as couple, friend, or family and visit each other's routine homes. Peek at whichever one a friend studies with, and care for it when a heart runs empty. Send a friend request to someone you met in the study room. You choose which routines each person sees. New routines are visible to friends by default. ■ For exam season D-day countdowns and one quote arriving every morning. Tomorrow, one more small thing. ― - Everything is free, themes and characters included - Health data is read only with your permission, and only to auto-complete routines - Works without an account (guests skip friend features) One small thing today, softly.
