Nanagi -- your life, told as a journey. Nanagi turns what you want into a path you can actually walk. Tell it an intention -- something you're reaching for -- and it grows into a living journey with branching paths, a daily rhythm, and a guide who keeps you moving. SET AN INTENTION Start with a short conversation about where you are and where you want to go. Nanagi shapes it into a clear intention and lays out the path ahead. WALK YOUR PATHS Your journey unfolds as a branching map. Choose a path and you start walking it -- each step is a real, doable action, not a vague goal. When life shifts, tell your guide and the path re-orients around you. KEEP A DAILY RHYTHM Turn steps from your journey into scheduled adventures, so momentum carries from the big picture down to today. A GUIDE WHO CHECKS IN Update your guide whenever you want to think out loud, re-plan, or just check in. It remembers the picture it holds of you and adjusts as you grow. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a faction that fits who you're becoming. Nanagi has no ads and no trackers. You can permanently delete all of it, any time. Available in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nanagi at none against Folio's 1. Nanagi also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Folio's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
