A glass of water, a few pages, a short walk. FlowTraces lets you record small steps with Mimo, a friendly 3D bear. Mimo’s living home makes the time you give yourself visible. The app interface is currently in Turkish. BUILD YOUR OWN RHYTHM Choose from 10 ready-made habits: water, reading, walking, stretching, a breathing break, meditation, preparing for sleep, journaling, language practice and a screen break. You can also add your own habit. Set personal goals, scheduled days and reminder times. On a difficult day, switch to smaller goals for that day. TAKE A SMALL BREAK WITH MIMO Record your water intake and see the rippling water in Mimo’s belly. Start a timed reading or other habit session while Mimo joins you with its own movement. Keep journal notes on your device. A HOME YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN Tap objects in a home whose light changes with the time of day to open your habits. Choose the home’s colours, room layout and plant position. Complete a reading goal on 3 different days to unlock lamp choices, or a walking goal on 3 different days to unlock garden paths. The days do not have to be consecutive. SEE THE STEPS YOU HAVE TAKEN View your plans and records from the last 7 days. Grow different garden corners through movement, reading and rest habits. Taking a break does not erase previous records. FREE AND PREMIUM Free use supports up to 5 active habits and 3 reminder times per habit.
