Getting started
How do I hatch my Kipetchi?
Open the app and let it guide you: your Kipetchi hatches, you pick its name, then you breathe together for 20 seconds. That’s your very first action!
Do I need an account?
No. An anonymous account is created automatically. To keep everything when you change phones, link an Apple, Google or email account in Settings.
Does the app work offline?
Yes. Your progress is saved on your phone and syncs as soon as you’re back online.
Chi, Diamonds and trips
How do I earn Chi?
By taking care of yourself: daily missions, guided activities (Breath, Water, Calm, Body), Screen break and your own goals. The first time you do an activity, you get a bonus.
Why am I not earning Chi anymore today?
There’s a daily cap to keep a gentle pace: Kipetchi is full! You can keep doing activities for yourself, and earnings start again tomorrow.
When does it go on a trip?
Once grown up (the baby stays close to you), about every 3 to 4 days, when your self-care has filled its travel gauge. Its first trip is a tiny stroll, then it leaves for 2 h, then 4 h. Every activity you do while it’s away brings it home 10 minutes sooner.
Can I bring it back early?
Yes, anytime: tap “Bring it back”. It comes home right away, all happy, already carrying a souvenir. The longer it explores, the fuller its backpack.
Where are its postcards?
It sends one or two per trip. They’re all kept in Menu → Memories.
What are Diamonds for?
For decor, new rooms, accessories and outfits for its wardrobe. You earn them by taking care of yourself (Menu → How to earn diamonds). If you like, you can also buy diamond packs in the Shop: it’s optional.
Why can’t my baby Kipetchi wear outfits?
It’s still tiny! Do its first 4 care steps (a few minutes in all): it grows up, and then it can wear its outfits and go on trips.
Activities, soundscapes and journal
What’s in Activities?
Your daily missions, idea packs to add to your list (morning routine, less stress, breathing…), soundscapes to relax or sleep, and Screen break: put your phone down and Kipetchi naps with you.
What’s the journal?
The tab named after your Kipetchi: its profile (level, streak, Chi and diamonds), its tastes, its stats and the moods you’ve logged.
How do I add the widget?
Long-press your phone’s home screen, then add the Kipetchi widget (the + button on iPhone, the Widgets menu on Android). One glance tells you how it’s doing.
Friends
How do I add a friend?
Share your friend code (Friends tab → Invite) or your invite link. Your friend enters it in the app, and you’re friends. Even if someone already invited you, you can still add other friends.
What can we do together?
One free gift per day to each friend, cheers, one visit a day to each friend’s home and group trips: the more of you there are, the more Diamonds and Chi you earn.
How do I write to a friend?
Tap “💌 Write” on their card: little notes, quick words and stickers. Unread messages show on their card. Only your friends can write to you.
A message bothers me, what can I do?
Long-press the message to report it: the Kipetchi team reviews it, and the sender won’t know it was you. You can also block them from their profile: you’re no longer friends and they can’t write to you anymore.
Moods and streaks
My Kipetchi is sad, is that bad?
Not at all. It’s just happy when you drop by. It never dies, and it cheers up the moment you’re back.
I missed a day, did I lose my streak?
Here we count the days spent together. No “failure”: pick up whenever you like.
Subscription & account
How much does Kipetchi+ cost?
Kipetchi+ VIP is optional: €4.99 a month, €29.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or €49.99 for lifetime access in one payment (launch offer until December 31, 2026). Prices for France; the price in your currency is shown in the app before you buy.
How does the free trial work?
With the yearly plan, the first 7 days are free and the app shows you the exact dates. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Otherwise, the yearly subscription starts and renews every year.
How do I cancel Kipetchi+?
From your store’s subscriptions: iPhone → Settings → your name → Subscriptions; Android → Google Play → Payments & subscriptions.
Restore my purchases?
In Settings → Restore purchases (or “Restore” on the Kipetchi+ screen), with the same Apple / Google account you bought with.
Delete my account?
Menu → Settings & help → My data → Delete my account, or by email. See the dedicated page.
Too many notifications (or not enough)?
In Settings → Notifications, pick its personality: Chatty (tells you everything), Calm (2 a day max) or Shh (1 a day max). Never in the middle of the night.
Notifications don’t show up
Check that they’re allowed for Kipetchi in your phone settings and that a Focus mode isn’t blocking them.
