Quick answer
Made by Reco Jefferson's team, Mipkin is a self-care pet app where small acts of care earn Warmth and kindling for your companion’s world. Your Mipkin goes wandering, brings back keepsakes and keeps a journal separate from yours. Growth counts adventures rather than consecutive days, so taking a break preserves that progress.
Mipkin connects looking after yourself with your companion’s next adventure. Complete a small activity to earn Warmth for room items and add kindling to the lantern. When enough kindling has gathered, send your Mipkin wandering and welcome them home with a keepsake and a new journal entry.
What Mipkin’s care loop gives you
| Feature | Mipkin | Why choose this care loop |
|---|---|---|
| Daily activity | Choose from three small activities. Each completion earns Warmth and kindling. | Your self-care contributes to both room items and the next wander. |
| Companion growth | Your Mipkin grows through wanders rather than consecutive days. | Adventures count toward growth across visits at your own pace. |
| Time away | Stored kindling has no time-based decay, and taking a break does not reset the wander count. | You can return to the growth progress you already built. |
| A place to write | Change or skip the prompt in your journal; your Mipkin has a separate journal about their adventures. | Your own words and your companion’s stories each have a place. |
| Room changes | Earned Warmth can bring new things into the room. Warmth is never sold. | Decorating connects to what you do in the app. |
