Frankie's Habits

A virtual pet powered by real habits

Frankie is counting on you.

This miniature schnauzer has three health bars — Body, Mind and Routine — and only you can keep them full. Drink the water. Take the walk. Wind down on time. Do your habits and Frankie thrives; skip them and you'll be met with the saddest eyes on the App Store.

How it works

Your habits are Frankie's heartbeat.

No streak guilt, no charts to study. Just a small dog whose whole world depends on whether you looked after yourself today.

  1. Foster Frankie

    Every fostering starts the same way: a new dog, a clean slate, and thirty days to prove you can look after each other.

  2. Do your habits

    Build your own daily habits across Body, Mind and Routine. Frankie's health bars decay in real time — every habit you complete tops them back up.

  3. Watch Frankie thrive

    Good care means a happy, playful dog — and bones to spend at Irene's Market on collars, toys, scenes and training skills.

The stakes

Yes, there are strikes.

Frankie isn't decoration — this is a dog with standards. Let the care slip for long enough and you'll earn a strike, marked plainly on your Owner's Card. Earn three, and Frankie is rehomed to someone who'll actually do the walking. Strikes aren't forever, though: two straight weeks of flawless habit-keeping clears the slate.

Fostering & adoption

Fostering is free. Forever.

Foster a Frankie at no cost, in 30-day cycles — at the end of each cycle your foster dog returns to the kennel and a new Frankie bounds in. When you're ready to make it official, adoption is $3/month and your Frankie stays for good.

  • Keep your dog past day 30 — no more goodbyes
  • Give your dog a name of your own choosing
  • Exclusive cosmetics in Irene's Market
  • Extra kennel days every month, and more

Payment is handled by Apple through your App Store account. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings — you'll simply return to fostering.
