Japan’s year was traditionally divided into 72 microseasons, each lasting about five days and marked by subtle changes in nature. Madobe brings them to your iPhone as a daily widget. Each day, your home screen shows a handcrafted miniature scene that changes with the real calendar. Explore seasonal descriptions, foods, and cultural events in miniature, ukiyo-e, or realistic styles. Supports English and Japanese. Free to download, with premium unlocking all 72 seasons and all styles.

Hi Product Hunt! I’m a solo indie developer in Japan, and I made Madobe to bring Japan’s 72 microseasons to the iPhone home screen. Each day, the widget updates to match the real calendar and shows a handcrafted miniature seasonal scene. I wanted it to feel like a small window into Japan’s subtle seasonal changes. Madobe also includes descriptions of each microseason, seasonal foods, cultural events, and multiple visual styles like miniature, ukiyo-e, and realistic. It’s free to download, with premium unlocking all 72 seasons and all art styles. I’d love to hear what you think — especially whether the idea feels fresh, and which visual style you’d want to use every day.

Some Vibe!!!! I downloaded the app. Perhaps my 1 kinda expectation was that I should move around the scene i.e. 360 degree view. I could pinch or twist to look around the 3d model.
But I love the simplicity of the concept. Rooting for you 🚀
