Meet Pip

A little fawn who cheers every small step

Pip lives in a painted meadow at the top of your Today screen. Finish a habit and Pip does a happy hop, and a sprout grows in the grass. Finish the last one and leaves drift down. That’s it. That’s the whole game, and it isn’t really a game.

“A gentle guide — never a nag.”

Pip’s four rules

Written into the app, and checked by a test

Every line Pip can say is checked by an automated test for anything that could guilt you.

Pip never needs anything

No food, no coins, no outfits to buy. Pip is happy whether you open the app or not.

Pip never gets sad

Missed a day? Pip doesn’t sulk, shrink or leave. Pip just rests in the meadow.

Pip never interrupts

Apart from a short first-run tour you can skip, there are no pop-ups or messages to tap through. Pip is part of the view, never a gate in front of it.

Pip is optional

Rename Pip in Settings → Preferences, or turn Pip off to get a plain progress card instead.

Pip’s day

Pip follows your rhythm

  1. Waves once per launch

    And any time you tap Pip.

  2. Hops for every habit

    However you did it: a tick, an amount or a timer.

  3. Lies in the sun

    On days with nothing due.

  4. Sleeps

    Under the stars in evening mode.

First run

Pip shows you around, once

The first time you open Petite Habits, Pip gives a short tour of Today. Skip it whenever you like.

With reduce-motion turned on, Pip appears as still pictures instead of animations.
