Introducing Fig — your pocket mental-health ally
Fig is an Android lifestyle app built to support emotional well-being through brief, game-like interactions. Created in partnership with clinicians and mental health specialists, the app is free to download and focuses on helping users build healthy habits and practice mindfulness within a playful environment. The experience centers on a friendly virtual companion, Fig, who guides players through the imaginary landscape of Seedaria.
Key capabilities
- Habit tracking that helps you log and observe patterns in mood, sleep, and eating.
- A private digital journal for reflection and recording personal thoughts.
- Timed medication reminders to help users stay on schedule with prescriptions.
Interaction style and session design
The app’s activities are intentionally short and easy to fit into daily life, encouraging frequent, low-friction check-ins rather than long sessions. Gamified elements and the companion’s prompts are used to motivate consistency and make routine self-care feel more engaging.
Evidence, availability, and intended use
Fig was evaluated with more than 10,000 participants under controlled conditions before being released broadly. It is positioned as a complementary tool to conventional mental health care—useful for daily support and habit-building—but it is not intended to replace professional diagnosis or treatment.
