Frequently Asked Questions

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." Our app helps you discover your ikigai by exploring what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.

Simply download the app from the App Store, create an account, and begin the guided journey to discover your purpose. The app will walk you through a series of reflective exercises.

The core ikigai discovery journey takes about 2-3 weeks if you spend 10-15 minutes daily. However, discovering your purpose is a lifelong journey, and the app provides ongoing prompts and reflections to deepen your understanding over time.

No prior knowledge is required! The app guides you through everything with explanations, examples, and thoughtful prompts. Whether you're new to the concept or already familiar with it, Ikigai meets you where you are.
