Terms of Use

Last updated 8 October 2026

PocketMigo is a game about looking after a pixel pet by looking after yourself. It is made and run by one person, Vincent Shibuta, an independent developer in Utah, United States, and it is not a medical device.

Using the app means you accept what is on this page.

Not medical advice

This is the part that actually matters.

PocketMigo shows calorie and protein numbers, tracks your weight, and sets daily goals. All of it is for a game. None of it is medical, dietary, or fitness advice, and none of it has been reviewed by a doctor or a dietitian.

Nutrition figures come from public food databases and, for foods those databases do not have, from an AI estimate. Estimates are frequently wrong. Do not use them to manage a medical condition.

Talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian before changing how you eat or how you exercise, particularly if you are pregnant, have an eating disorder or a history of one, are diabetic, or have a heart condition. If the app is making your relationship with food worse, delete it. It is a game about a bear.

Your account

You can sign up with an email and a password, or with Sign in with Apple, or play without an account as a guest. You are responsible for keeping access to your email or your Apple ID, and for keeping your password to yourself; we cannot let you into an account you can no longer prove is yours. A guest's progress belongs to that phone until it is linked to an email or an Apple ID.

One account per person. Do not create accounts for other people, and do not use the app if you are under 13.

Being decent to other players

The app lets you add friends, name your pet, set a display name, send gifts, and run challenges together. Do not use any of that to harass anyone, impersonate anyone, or put anything abusive, hateful or sexual where another player will see it.

Accounts doing that get removed, without warning and without an appeal. You can report or block any player from their profile.

Meeting other players

Holding two phones together lets you visit another player's garden or start a walk together. Do that only with people you know and trust: PocketMigo does not check who anyone is. Nobody sees your garden unless you let them, and you can block anyone.

When your Migo walks with you, look where you are going and keep to local rules. Nothing in the app needs you to look at your phone or your watch while you walk.

Cheating

Do not fake your activity data, tamper with the app, or automate it to win challenges. Friend challenges only mean something because both people actually did the thing.

Money

Tracking is free, and there is no advertising. PocketMigo+ adds extras on top; anything you recorded yourself stays readable without paying.

Coins, heartwood, card packs and every other thing in the game exist only inside it, cannot be bought directly (PocketMigo+ earns some of them a little faster), and are worth nothing outside it. They can disappear if your account is removed or the game changes, and they are not compensable.

PocketMigo+

PocketMigo+ is an optional subscription, monthly or yearly, sold through Apple's App Store. What it includes is shown in the app before you buy.

What we cannot promise

The app is provided as it is. It may break, lose data, be unavailable, or stop existing. It depends on services from Apple, Supabase and others which can change or disappear without notice.

Please keep your own record of anything you genuinely need โ€” this is a pet game, and it should not be the only place your health history lives.

To the extent the law allows, PocketMigo and its maker are not liable for any loss arising from using the app, including lost data, lost progress, or decisions you made based on what it showed you.

The art

Some pixel art, fonts and sound in PocketMigo are licensed from other artists, who are credited in Settings under Credits. Those licences belong to them. Do not extract the app's assets and reuse them.

Changes and endings

These terms can change; the new version appears here with a new date. You can stop using the app at any time and ask for your account to be deleted โ€” see the Privacy Policy. We can close an account that breaks these rules.

Which laws apply

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah and the United States, without regard to rules that would apply another place's law. If a dispute can't be sorted out by email first, it goes to the state or federal courts in Utah. None of this takes away a right the law where you live gives you and doesn't let anyone waive, including your right to bring a claim where you live.

If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
