Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ikigai?
Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept meaning "a reason for being." It's found at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Our app helps you discover your personal Ikigai through guided exercises and daily practices.
How do I get started?
After downloading the app, you'll be guided through an initial discovery process. Start with the "Discover" section to explore the four elements of Ikigai. There's no rush—take your time with each reflection.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required to use Ikigai. Your data is stored locally and in your private iCloud. You can optionally use Sign in with Apple for additional features, but it's not necessary.
Is my data private?
Yes, completely. All your reflections, goals, and personal data are stored in your private iCloud container. We cannot access, read, or see any of your data.
Does Ikigai sync across my devices?
Yes! As long as you're signed into the same iCloud account on all your devices, your data will sync automatically across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
How do I delete my data?
You can delete all your data at any time from Settings → Delete All Data within the app. This permanently removes your data from all devices and iCloud.
What's included in the free version?
The free version includes the full Ikigai discovery experience, basic goal setting, and daily journaling. Premium unlocks advanced analytics, unlimited goals, custom reminders, and additional journaling prompts.
I found a bug. How do I report it?
We appreciate bug reports! Please email us at support@ikigai.app with details about what happened, what you expected, and your device model/OS version. Screenshots help tremendously.
