A quiet place to put the work that follows you home.

Mikoyi started with a problem I lived for fifteen years.

I spent my career in finance and healthcare technology — good work, real responsibility, the kind of job that doesn't switch off at six. I'd leave the office and the office wouldn't leave me. I'd be at dinner still replaying a meeting. Lying awake rereading a message. Dreading a conversation before it happened. The standard advice — set boundaries, don't check email after six, leave it at work — never held, because the problem was never about rules. My brain didn't take orders. It just kept running.

I looked for something that helped, and never found it. The journaling apps were general — built for moods, gratitude, life. None of them were built for the specific thing I carried home: work. The meeting, the message, the person I couldn't stop thinking about. So I built the thing I'd needed all along.

What Mikoyi is

Mikoyi is a five-minute end-of-day ritual for the work stress that follows you home. You say what stood out. It reflects your day back — honestly, without advice or toxic positivity. It remembers the people and patterns in your work life, so you stop carrying all of it in your head. And it helps you set the day down — or, for the things that won't go down until they're worked through, talk them out or rehearse them first.

It is built on a few things I believe, and won't compromise on. It will never tell you to just quit, or to suck it up, or that you're imagining it. It will never pretend to be your therapist, and it will never claim to fix your job. It doesn't manufacture cheerfulness. And it is private by design — yours, not your company's. Nothing in it ever touches HR.

Who it's for

Mikoyi is for the people who care about their work too much to leave it at the door — and are tired of carrying it home. The ones who can't just stop caring, won't pretend none of it matters, and never found a ritual that actually works. If that's you, this was built for you.
