Madobe
A daily iPhone widget for Japan’s 72 microseasons
Japan’s year was traditionally divided into 72 microseasons, each lasting about five days and marked by subtle changes in nature. Madobe brings them to your iPhone as a daily widget. Each day, your home screen shows a handcrafted miniature scene that changes with the real calendar. Explore seasonal descriptions, foods, and cultural events in miniature, ukiyo-e, or realistic styles. Supports English and Japanese. Free to download, with premium unlocking all 72 seasons and all styles.

Hi Product Hunt! I’m a solo indie developer in Japan, and I made Madobe to bring Japan’s 72 microseasons to the iPhone home screen. Each day, the widget updates to match the real calendar and shows a handcrafted miniature seasonal scene. I wanted it to feel like a small window into Japan’s subtle seasonal changes. Madobe also includes descriptions of each microseason, seasonal foods, cultural events, and multiple visual styles like miniature, ukiyo-e, and realistic. It’s free to download, with premium unlocking all 72 seasons and all art styles. I’d love to hear what you think — especially whether the idea feels fresh, and which visual style you’d want to use every day.
