「gan·ba·re·yo!」
the task app that likes you.
No streaks. No stress. No shame.
Just today’s tasks, on your terms.
🌱
Core Philosophy
“Ganbare yo!” is a Japanese phrase meaning “you can do it”, or “I believe in you”. It’s gentle, supportive encouragement between friends.
We celebrate progress, not productivity, and connect task completion to the rewards of discovery
You can do it. I believe in you. Ganbare yo.

Key Concepts
focused on today
You only see what’s on your plate today. Nothing is late. Nothing is urgent. It’s just a list of things you said you wanted to do today.
No Streaks, No Scores
You didn’t fail. You just didn’t do it today.
No XP loss. No red marks. No broken streaks.
Easy Grace
Don’t want to deal with something? Punt it to tomorrow, next week, or next month with a couple taps. This app doesn’t get mad, and the task will be back.
Simple Completion
Tap Clear. Task disappears. That’s it.
the reward is discovery
Clear all your tasks to reveal the new cozy background picture for the day. Or not. It’s up to you.
💬
Why It Matters
- Most task apps punish failure with bold red text, exclamation points, reminders
- Those apps drag that failure around for days, for weeks, for months, forever
- Neurotypical brains can be motivated by that failure and use it to convince themselves to complete the task
- But neurodivergent brains often interpret “failure to complete” as “personal failure.” And they aren’t motivated by rewards are punishments, they’re motivated by passion and discovery.
「gan·ba·re·yo!」 gives you clean starts. Grace. Encouragement. Discovery. Focus.
You deserve to feel good for trying, not broken for struggling.

「gan·ba·re·yo!」 is a love letter to people like us. I made it to suit my particular brain, and hopefully it will suit yours, too. I’m tired of being punished for not being “productive enough.” Let’s celebrate what we are able to accomplish instead.
It’s free to use. Built with care. And always getting better.
