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. ■ Mallangotchi grows with you A pixel Mallang lives in a little device in the middle of your tab bar. Finishing routines earns dango to feed it, train it, and dress it up in outfits your friends can see 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 Mallang studying beside you.
