Yolky is a concept app for building a simple daily habit through short timed sessions, streaks, and a playful egg-shaped companion.
The brief was to design something light, friendly, and easy to understand. A small daily ritual that feels approachable and fun.
The idea
The app is built around Yolky, a small character that guides the user through the experience.
Design direction
The visual style is soft, rounded, and warm. I used clean white surfaces, subtle shadows, bold friendly typography, and orange as the main brand colour.
Yolky acts as both the mascot and the main visual identity, appearing across the onboarding, timer, calendar, icon, and marketing assets.
Motion
I also explored the character in Rive, setting up simple animation states like smile, sad, and idle expressions.
The idea was to make the app feel more alive without making the motion distracting or overly complex.
Progress and app icon
The progress view shows streak, average time, and monthly activity in a simple visual way.
I also explored how the character could work as an app icon and brand asset, keeping the product recognisable even outside the app.
Outcome
Yolky is a small concept app, but it shows how character, motion, and a focused visual style can turn a simple habit timer into something more memorable and emotionally engaging.
