You know you should move more, eat better, sleep properly. Knowing was never the problem. Sticking with it is.
Meet Chi, a living personalised companion that grows and evolves as you build real habits: sleep, movement, nutrition, hydration and mind. Log your day, earn Chi Energy, and watch Chi grow with you.
Not a tracker. A relationship.

I built GrowChi for a few reasons/people.
People just getting into fitness. You want to build healthier habits but don't know where to start. I am a big believer in amazing organisations like Parkrun that cater to all in an inclusive and fun way, and encourage more people to get into run/walking. GrowChi meets you exactly where you are, no pressure to exercise loads or show-off, no guilt. Just Chi, learning your world alongside you.
People who start strong then fade. Health apps face a chronic problem where most apps fail because people don't stay engaged long enough for it to make a positive impact on their behaviour. Your own personalised Chi companion gives you a reason to come back after the novelty wears off. Quiet days happen. The story continues when you return.
People bored or fatigued with their wearable data. You have the wearable, mine is a Garmin. You just don't feel anything when you look at it or get annoyed by its basic or boring insights. GrowChi turns the numbers into something that actually means something by enabling you to build a relationship with your Chi.
People who like progress they can feel, like in games. Chi Energy, evolutions, crystals, friends and rewards make healthy routines feel visible, social and worth returning to.
