Put who you want to become at the center. Do one small thing today. No streaks, no scores, no guilt — and no subscription. A calm place to grow, at your own pace. Put who you want to become at the center. Then do one small thing today. That's enough. No streaks. No scores. No guilt. Pay once — no subscription. Maru is a gentle habit app for people who want to grow without the pressure. Most apps push you to keep a streak alive, chase points, and feel bad when you miss a day. Maru does the opposite. You are already whole. The point isn't a perfect record — it's returning, softly, to one small action. How it works • Place the person you want to become at the center. • Around it, add a few circles — your maru — for the areas that matter now: health, work, relationships, learning, everyday life. • For each circle, write one small thing you can do today. • Light it when you do it. Watch the quiet light gather over time. • Tuck away what you're not doing right now. Bring it back anytime. One is enough today. Missing a day doesn't mean you failed. Come back, choose one small thing, and continue from there. No loud notifications. No scores. No competition. Just a calm, washi-paper space to face who you want to become — and what you can do today. Pay once. No subscription, ever. Start free. When you want more circles, a single one-time purchase unlocks them. No monthly fee, no renewal to forget. You don't have to be perfect. Come back anytime. Maru by NICO WORKS

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Maru is now in English. The whole app has been remade quietly — Japanese washi paper, ink, and gold — and rebuilt around one idea: one small thing today is enough. No streaks. No scores. No guilt.
