A simple tool to help you discover your reason for being
ikigh.ai was born from a simple observation: too many people spend their lives feeling unfulfilled, caught between what they "should" do and what they actually want to do. We chase success without satisfaction, pursue passion without stability, or settle for security without joy.
The Japanese concept of ikigai offers a beautiful alternative: a framework for finding the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. When we discovered this concept, we knew it needed to be more accessible.
So we built ikigh.ai: a dead-simple, no-nonsense tool to help you discover your ikigai. No complex algorithms, no database of your private thoughts, no corporate nonsense. Just you, four thoughtful questions, and space for honest reflection.
Make ikigai accessible. We believe everyone deserves the clarity that comes from understanding their ikigai, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Keep it simple. Self-discovery doesn't need to be complicated. We resist the temptation to add features and keep the focus on what matters: your reflection.
Respect your privacy. Your ikigai journey is personal. We never collect, store, or share your responses. Everything stays on your device.
Provide value freely. This tool is and will remain free. If it helps even one person find more meaning in their life, it's succeeded.
We believe that meaningful work and meaningful life aren't separate pursuits: they can and should be integrated. We believe that purpose isn't found "out there" but emerges from the honest examination of who you are and what you care about.
We believe in the power of simple questions asked at the right time. We believe that the journey to find your ikigai is ongoing, not a destination. We believe that small shifts in alignment can create profound changes over time.
Most importantly, we believe that a life lived with intention: where passion, skill, mission, and livelihood overlap: is possible for everyone, not just the lucky few.
We won't tell you what job to have. Ikigai is bigger than career: it's about what makes life worth living.
Finding your ikigai takes reflection. We provide the framework, but the insights come from you.
Your responses stay on your device. We're not building a database or selling information.
We don't have all the answers. We're here to ask the right questions and give you space to think.
You might wonder about the spelling. "ikigh" sounds like "ikigai" but gives us a memorable domain name. The ".ai" extension serves a dual purpose: it's both a nod to modern technology and a reminder that Artificial Intelligence isn't needed for the most important discoveries. This is human intelligence: your self-awareness, your values, your unique perspective.
Sometimes the simplest tools are the most powerful. Sometimes the best algorithm is a moment of quiet reflection. Sometimes all you need is the right question at the right time.
Your ikigai is waiting to be discovered. All you need is a few moments of honest reflection.
