Small tasks, a growing flame.
Kıvılcım is a gamified habit app: check off your task, earn sparks, grow your streak. No account, no ads, everything free.
For Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. iPhone version coming soon.
Today's tasks: a sample day
0 sparksA try-out with sample tasks. In the app Kıvı stays in the middle and your tasks circle around it as bubbles; the ring shows the day's progress.
How it works
Add a task
Write a task that repeats every day, a few times a week or on set days.
Check it off
Complete it with one tap, or swipe the task to the right.
Earn sparks
Every task brings 10 sparks. You spend sparks in the shop.
Your streak grows
Your flame grows a little every day. It changes color on days 7, 30, 100 and 365.
A day with Kıvılcım
-
Morning
Reminders arrive on time: a heads-up 15 minutes before the task, and “did you do it?” 60 minutes after.
An if–then trigger ties a new habit to an old one: “After my coffee, read 10 pages.”
Reminders on phone -
During the day
Scan the QR tag on your fridge and the task is checked off.
When you need to focus, Pomodoro or the task's timer keeps time.
QR tag with the web version -
Evening
Write your mood, intention and gratitude in the journal. The day close summary wraps up today.
Open your chest and catch the multiplier: the sparks inside multiply.
Today: Kıvı and your tasks
On the home screen Kıvı stays in the middle and today's tasks float around it as bubbles. Tap to complete; hold for options. The ring shows the day's progress and closes completely when every task is done.
Try swiping in the task list
Swipe right: complete. Swipe left: skip with a joker.
Up next: one thing
Only one card sits below the home screen at a time: the chest if it is ready, a letter if you have one, closing the day in the evening.
A repeat that fits you
Every day, a few times a week or on set days. Pick a habit to build or a habit to quit; for quitting, clean days are counted.
Start small, grow it
Counters, timers, sub-steps and a mini version. The goal can rise by itself week by week.
Reminders on time
Per task, a heads-up 15 minutes before and “did you do it?” 60 minutes after. Notifications can be normal, gentle or one daily summary.
On phoneTie it to places and your calendar
A location reminder lets you know when you arrive at a place you chose. You can also export your tasks to your calendar.
Location: on phoneOn web while the app is openCalendar: everywhereCheck off with a tag
Print a QR tag; scan it and the task is checked off. The same link can be written to an NFC tag too.
With the phone appWith the web versionNFC writing: Android Chrome, betaIf–then
A trigger like “after my coffee” ties a new habit to something you already do.
A simpler list on bad days
On a hard day the screen gets simpler. For newcomers, sections unlock day by day.
Your streak, a journey in five colors
As your streak grows, your flame changes color: a new tier on days 7, 30, 100 and 365. Scroll down and pass a year in a few seconds.
- Orange FlameStarts on day one.
- Gold FlameOn day 7.
- Blue PlasmaOn day 30.
- Purple NovaOn day 100.
- White StarOn day 365.
Protect your streak
Streak freeze
Protects a day you miss. You can keep up to 3.
Streak shield
Protects your streak for up to 3 missed days; bought with sparks in the shop.
Vacation mode
Your streak waits while you're away; when you're back you pick up where you left off.
Streak recovery
If your streak goes out, a recovery card appears on the home screen: complete the missing day and get your streak back.
Graduate a habit or start a new season
Graduate a habit that has stuck. In a new season the counters reset; your history stays.
Small celebrations
A celebration when you reach a new tier and on every new streak day; in the evening, a day close summary.
Earn sparks, spend them
Every task brings 10 sparks. Sparks can't be bought with money; you earn them only by doing tasks.
Chest multiplier
On the 7-day chest strip, one chest opens each day. Stop the marker as it swings: the sparks inside are multiplied by x1, x2, x4 or x10.
Sample chest: 10 sparks
Marker is slow: calm motion is on.
- Sparks and bonuses
- 10 sparks per task, 5 for the mini version. Bonuses: perfect day, early bird (05:00–09:00), star of the day (×3) and hard task.
- Shop
- Task joker, power potion (double sparks for 24 hours) and streak shield.
- Cosmetics
- 4 cosmetic themes (Synthwave, Glacier, Forest, Lava); confetti, flames and backgrounds; row, button and quote skins; avatars and costumes, name effects, frames and check-in sounds (web and desktop). A deal of the day and item merging.
- Luck and surprises
- A lucky wheel, a mystery box and a spark piggy bank that pays interest. Golden check-ins, spark showers and happy hour.
- Chest strip
- The 7-day chest strip: day 7's big chest holds 15 sparks and a streak freeze; if your freezes are full, 30 sparks instead. Miss a day and the strip still doesn't reset.
- All with sparks
- Every cosmetic is bought with sparks, not money.

A letter to your future self, a quote book, a dream board and a birthday surprise.
Breathing and Pomodoro
A minute of calm breathing or a focus round, all in one place.
Seasonal packs
5 seasonal packs: New Year Resolutions, Winter Energy, Exam Season, Summer Shape and Back to School. Plus a starter quiz.
A coach that doesn't shame you
No blame when a streak breaks. Kıvılcım shows how consistent you've been: 27 of the last 30 days, 90%.
On a bad day the list gets simpler. If you like, notifications come gently or shrink to one daily summary. You also pick the coach's tone:
- Kind friend
It might be a hard day. A small step still counts.
- Tough coach
No excuses. Get up and finish that task.
- Playful
The couch misses you a lot, but your tasks miss you more.
Share, light it together
- Cards. Streak card, weekly summary, report card story and achievement certificate.
- Together. Friend duels by QR, pack sharing and joint challenges.
- Send a cheer. Support without scores: courage, not competition.
Family, backup and security
Family profiles and kid mode
Every family member gets their own profile. In kid mode the shop, sharing and outside links are off; leaving it takes the parent gate.
Lock
PIN lock everywhere. Fingerprint works on Android too; Face ID comes with the iPhone version.
Back up and restore
File, clipboard or CSV. A local backup is made automatically every day; on phone it can also be written to a cloud folder automatically.
Privacy center
Shows what is stored and why each permission is asked for. You can delete everything from here.
Feedback
Report a bug or send an idea from inside the app. Your task names and journal aren't added to the message.
Your color
The theme picker only paints the phone next to it; give it a try.
- 6 theme options. Automatic follows your device; Night, AMOLED, Day, Aurora and Sakura you pick by hand.
- Accessibility. Calm motion, color-blind friendly markers, one-handed use, a sky that follows the time and night softening.
- Text and haptics. 3 text sizes on web and desktop; on phone the app follows your system text size. 4 haptic levels on phone.
- Organizing. Bulk edit and a task archive.
- Language. English and Turkish; it follows your phone's language on first launch.
