Most goals fail because they're forgettable. Yours won't be.

Misogi is an ancient Japanese purification ritual. Today, it means choosing one defining challenge that will make this year unforgettable. Not 10 resolutions. Not 50 habits. One bold thing.

01

Focus beats fragmentation

When you commit to one powerful goal, you stop spreading yourself thin. Every day moves you closer to something meaningful.

02

Visible progress compounds

Watch your 365-day grid fill up with green. Each dot is proof you showed up. Consistency becomes contagious.

03

Community creates accountability

Share your journey. Follow friends. Give kudos. When others see your progress, quitting stops being an option.

Everything you need to win your year

Built for focus, designed for motivation, powered by community.

Why we built this

Every January, we'd set a dozen resolutions. By February, we'd forgotten most of them. Sound familiar?

We built Misogi because we were tired of spreading ourselves thin. The idea is simple: pick one meaningful challenge for the year and actually see it through.

Right now, it's just us and a handful of friends using it. We're not a big company with millions of users—we're a small team who genuinely believes in this approach and wanted a tool that doesn't exist yet.

If this resonates with you, we'd love for you to try it. No pressure, no fake urgency. Just a simple app for people who want to do one hard thing really well.

How do I choose my goal?

The best Misogi sits at the edge of your comfort zone—something that scares you a little but excites you more. It should be specific, measurable, and require sustained effort throughout the year.

Read our practical selection guide →

What if I fail?

That's actually part of the philosophy. A true Misogi should have roughly a 50% chance of success. If you're certain you'll succeed, your goal isn't ambitious enough. Growth lives in uncertainty.

Is the app really free?

Yes, completely free. We built this because we wanted it for ourselves. No premium tiers, no ads, no selling your data. Just a simple tool for people who want to do one hard thing well.
