Pixbu turns daily self-care into a pixel pet that grows with you. Tick off small things — water, a walk, a minute of breathing — and your creature hatches from an egg, evolves through stages, and unlocks signature animations. No streaks to shame you, no punishment, no ads. It runs fully on-device: no account, no server. Home-screen widget, focus timer with ambient sound, step counter, guided routines for days when starting is the hard part, and a goal piggy bank. 6 languages.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm a solo developer. I built Pixbu because every habit tracker I tried made me feel worse the moment I broke a streak: a red X, a counter back to zero, a screen that basically said "you failed." So I made the progress bar a living thing instead. You start with an egg. Do a few small things for yourself (drink water, take a walk, breathe for a minute) and it hatches, grows through stages, and evolves into one of six creatures with its own signature animations. Miss a day and nothing dies, nothing resets. It just waits for you. Everything is local-first: no account, no sign-up, no server, no ads. There is a home-screen widget, a focus timer with ambient sounds, a step counter, guided routines for the days when starting is the hard part, and a goal piggy bank. Live on Google Play and the App Store in 6 languages. The honest part: it is early and small. If something feels off (the onboarding, the pet, the pricing) I would much rather hear it here than guess. Ask me anything.

I'm a solo dev. Pixbu goes live on Product Hunt this Sunday, so I would rather ask something useful than pitch.

Every habit tracker I used punished me for missing a day: a red X, a streak back to zero. So in Pixbu the progress bar is a pixel pet. It hatches from an egg, grows and evolves as you do small things for yourself, and when you miss a day nothing dies and nothing resets.
