Ikigai Daily

Turn notifications into something worth reading. Quotes, facts and proverbs on cinematic art — from one a day to ten, on your schedule. Free; one purchase removes ads.

Most notifications interrupt you. Ikigai Daily's give you something back.

Instead of another ping about nothing, your phone hands you a line from Seneca, the story of the fall of Constantinople, or a proverb you'll want to repeat — each one set on cinematic, painterly artwork that fills the screen.

NOTIFICATIONS, DONE RIGHT You set the rhythm: one thought a day, or up to ten spread across it. Pick your mood — Drive, Stillness or Wonder — and the topics you care about: history, science, philosophy, literature, art, health, language and more. Every notification opens a full-screen card worth the interruption.

A WIDGET THAT EARNS ITS PLACE Put Ikigai Daily on your Lock Screen or Home Screen and get a fresh quote through the day without opening anything. Glance, think, carry on.

A LIBRARY WORTH WANDERING Thousands of hand-picked quotes, curious facts and old proverbs. Filter by topic, search by author, shuffle for serendipity, heart your favourites. Many cards carry a "More" note — the story behind the words, with optional Wikipedia context.

MAKE YOUR OWN Write your own words in the Customise studio, set them on any artwork in the collection, then save or share the finished card. Your creations stay on your device, in "My IKIgai".

IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully bilingual: English and Türkçe, following your phone's language.
