ABOUT

JIKO is a productivity app built to help you time your focus sessions, track meaningful goals, and see your own progress clearly over time.

The app started as a personal project, a tool I built for myself to stay consistent with my own habits and goals. It has since grown from there into something that can hopefully help others do the same. I'm constantly building and updating the app with that same hands-on, personal approach.

I want to hear your feedback! If you've been using JIKO, I'd love to hear your experience so far. Share your feedback or send me an email. Your thoughts are key to shaping where we go next!

The Jiko Kaizen methodology

The word "jiko" (自己) means "self" in Japanese, and "jiko kaizen" describes a methodology of continuous self-improvement. JIKO takes its name from this philosophy, built on a few central pillars:

  • The 1% Rule: instead of chasing sudden transformations, focus on getting just 1% better every day.
  • Consistency over Intensity: small, repeatable habits beat occasional bursts of effort.
  • Process over Outcome: fall in love with the daily habit, not just the end goal.
  • Eliminate Waste: identify and remove the distractions and inefficiencies getting in your way.

JIKO's vision is to make your consistency visible, through an honest, ongoing record of the small choices that add up over time.
