An Apple Health companion that grows with your habits
Habitvs turns Apple Health data into a virtual companion named Kova. Sleep, recovery, activity, and mindfulness shape how Kova feels and reacts each day.
I'm Igor, and today I'm launching Habitvs - a tiny virtual pet for iPhone and Apple Watch whose mood is shaped entirely by your real Apple Health data.
Why I built it Most health apps shout numbers at you. Rings. Charts. Streaks that punish you for one bad day. I wanted the opposite - something that just cares. So I built Kova, a pixel companion who quietly reacts to how you're actually living. Move and sleep well, and Kova thrives. Burn out, and Kova gets a little worried.
How it works Kova has 5 moods - Lively, Rested, Balanced, Attentive, Concerned - driven by your activity rings, sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, mindfulness, daylight, and even wrist temperature. No goals to hit. No guilt trips. Just a small friend who mirrors your wellbeing.
What's inside • Native iOS + watchOS apps (SwiftUI + HealthKit) • Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch complications - including a pixel-art "Retro" style • A weekly letter Kova writes to you, generated on-device with Apple's Foundation Models - nothing leaves your phone • Streak system with a weekly "shield" so one missed day doesn't break your momentum • Milestones at 3, 7, 14, and 30 days - including a crown for Kova • Customization: 7 colors, hats, glasses, bowties
Privacy Your health data never leaves the device. No accounts. No tracking. Ever.
I'd love your honest feedback - what feels delightful, what feels missing, and what would make Kova feel more alive. This is just day one.
Thanks for stopping by, and go check on Kova.

Who hunted Habitvs?
Habitvs was hunted by Igor Maciel. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.

Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
