Nubi is a tiny pixel creature that lives on the back of your phone. Lock your screen and Nubi eats. Put it away at night and Nubi sleeps. No rules, no lectures — just a little life that needs you.
Every other app fights you — blocks, limits, timers, a parent watching a dashboard. Kids route around it and adults grow tired of being policed.
Nubi flips the logic. You're not restricted — you get attached. The instinct to look after something small does the work that no timer ever could. The same trick that made millions carry a Tamagotchi to school in 1996.
Nubi reads exactly one thing about your phone: is the screen locked or not? No camera, no mic, no location, no usage reports. Just on, or off.
Lock to feedEvery minute your screen stays locked counts as a meal. The longer and more consistent the stretch, the better-fed Nubi grows.
Rest to sleepLock it at night and Nubi sleeps. Earlier and longer means Nubi wakes well-rested. A steady rhythm beats one heroic night.
RARE
Care adds upFeeding and sleep combine into a daily care rating. Over time that rating decides which Nubi you'll end up with.
All of it runs on the little screen itself — nothing leaves your phone, nothing is stored.
Everyone starts the same: a green egg, a green blob, a green teen. The transformation only happens at adulthood — and it's permanent. That's your Nubi, forever.
