About

Built for the days that make your stomach drop.

ikuyo is a small team making one thing: company and a plan for something you’re nervous about.

Why ikuyo

We wanted something between “just breathe” and therapy.

Most apps for nerves are about every day. We wanted one for a day: the exam, the flight, the talk. Small steps, a calm morning, someone in your corner. “ikuyo” is Japanese for “here we go”, said warmly to someone beside you.

A small explorer robot.

Scout is nervous too, and gets braver alongside you. It never scores you, never nags and is never sad.
