Hi Product Hunt! I’m a solo indie developer in Japan, and I made Madobe to bring Japan’s 72 microseasons to the iPhone home screen.
Each day, the widget updates to match the real calendar and shows a handcrafted miniature seasonal scene. I wanted it to feel like a small window into Japan’s subtle seasonal changes.
Madobe also includes descriptions of each microseason, seasonal foods, cultural events, and multiple visual styles like miniature, ukiyo-e, and realistic.
It’s free to download, with premium unlocking all 72 seasons and all art styles.
I’d love to hear what you think — especially whether the idea feels fresh, and which visual style you’d want to use every day.

Some Vibe!!!! I downloaded the app. Perhaps my 1 kinda expectation was that I should move around the scene i.e. 360 degree view. I could pinch or twist to look around the 3d model. But I love the simplicity of the concept. Rooting for you 🚀

Wow, thank you so much for actually downloading it!! That really means a lot to me 🙏 The 360-degree view is such a cool idea — I can’t promise it right away, but it’s going on my wish list for sure. Thanks for rooting for me, it truly made my day!
