ミトコンドリア・ライフ — a health companion
It looks like a diet app.
It's built to make humans healthy.
Companion app to the book “Mitochondria Life” ／ Akiplex
Oxygen supports the mitochondrial electron transport chain, helping cells make ATP from nutrients. ATP transfers energy for processes such as heartbeats and muscle movement. Oxygen does not itself become ATP; too little oxygen disrupts this energy supply and can threaten life.
Since you opened this page, our breathing model has completed 0 breaths.
Breathing and cellular energy production are connected.
An illustration assuming 15 breaths per minute, not a measurement of your breathing.
Nothing is closer to life itself. And we barely know them.
The human mitochondrial DNA reference sequence: a small blueprint separate from the nucleus. Anderson et al., 1981
Illustration of cellular connections, not measured proportions or countsATP is regenerated from ADP after use. This ongoing cycle transfers energy throughout our cells.
Mitochondria descend from bacteria that formed a partnership with a host cell. Many genes moved to the nucleus during evolution; today, cell and mitochondria depend on each other. The exact timing and steps of this ancient partnership remain active research topics.
Look closer at how your cells work. Find a new perspective on everyday health.
Mitochondria help extract energy from fatty acids and other nutrients. Exercise can change muscle mitochondria, but their number alone does not determine body weight. We want games to support sustainable habits around food, movement, and rest.
Losing weight is the goal.
Take weight loss off the goal line. The aim is to keep being a better you.
A sustainable way of living, not a one-off weight-loss sprint.
Weight loss and mitochondrial function are not a simple one-to-one relationship.
A 16-week trial in 50 adults aged 55–70 with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome found exercise helped preserve muscle mitochondrial enzyme markers that declined with dietary advice alone. Sex differences were also reported. Mohr et al., 2024 (original research)
Muscle mitochondria respond to training.
A 12-week human intervention found improved muscle mitochondrial respiration and aerobic capacity with HIIT or combined training. Adaptations vary by exercise and individual. This was not a trial of our app. Robinson et al., 2017 (original research)
Make room for both aerobic activity and strength training.
HR 0.60An observational study of about 480,000 US adults reported an all-cause mortality hazard ratio of 0.60 (95% CI 0.57–0.62) in those meeting both guidelines. Association does not establish causation or guarantee an individual's outcome. Zhao et al., 2020 (original research)
Scientific content checked September 2026. Mito and energy gauges are game representations, not measurements of mitochondrial quantity or function. This app is not a medical device for diagnosis or treatment and does not guarantee weight loss or disease improvement.
Raise Mito, a creature inspired by mitochondria, through food, exercise, and sleep records. Discover a 100-design collection, earn evolution meat through goals, and train with the Sergeant's ladder or Muscle Mito's burpees. Enjoy small achievements as you build health habits that fit your life.
Record movement → enjoy Mito's growth
Achieve a goal → feed evolution meat → a guaranteed new Mito design
Worldview —— Seika, “the quiet fire”. No rushing, no guilt. A warm UX.
Screens show the current development version with fictional demo data in Japanese. Features may change before release.
Log your meals, exercise and sleep to raise Mito!
