Built gentle.
A companion that can’t be disappointed in you. A crisis mode that goes quiet on your worst days so you can stay composed. And support that’s actually supportive, never a set of eyes on you.
Your companion, the one you can’t kill.
A little plant that’s glad you showed up. It grows with the days, not with how hard you push, and it has no setting for “disappointed in you.”
- ✓
An animated plant companion that mirrors your rhythm. It has a small, warm set of moods (happy, focused, resting, grounded), and none of them is sad at you. Free
- ✓
Perks up the moment you open the app after time away. Free
- ✓
On your home screen it looks a little “nostalgic” when you’ve been gone. Read that as an invitation back, not a guilt trip. Free
- ✓
Lives on its own Garden screen, kept well away from anything that counts or scores you. Free
- ✓
Hide it entirely if you ever catch yourself using it to feel bad. Your celebrations still fire either way. Free
- ✓
Grows slowly from sprout to tree, on a clock of days, never on how much you produce. Free
- ✓
Weekly “rings” keep a quiet little memory of each week that you can go back to. Free
- ✓
An optional “Saga” theme turns your days into chapters and your growth into a story. It’s off unless you switch it on. Free
- ✓
Want more? Pro adds other companion types, custom names, and personalities. Pro
A companion with no way to be disappointed in you, and growth that’s paced by time so you can never fall “behind.” Come back after three weeks away and the tree is exactly where you left it.
Many gamified apps
Miss a day and your character loses health. Neglect it long enough and the pet dies.

Growth only moves forward here. Time away can’t cost you anything. The plant just waits.
Your worst days, handled.
Under “low energy” there’s a floor the app is built to hold. On a crisis day it does less for you instead of asking more of you, so you can stay composed when there’s nothing left in the tank.
- ✓
Breathing Room: one gesture drops the whole app’s expectation of you. Only your personal minimum set stays. Free
- ✓
At the end of a hard day, one line: “you made it through today. That’s enough.” No summary, no list of what slipped. Free
- ✓
Your minimum set is yours to define. Start with meds, two meals, water. Add prayers or a 5-minute shower if you like. Free
- ✓
An energy check-in that asks something concrete, like “could you picture starting your hardest task right now?”, instead of a vague slider. Free
- ✓
Situation tags (anxious, behind on sleep, forgot meds, overwhelmed) each recompose the day in their own way. Free
- ✓
A midday check-in, because ADHD energy doesn’t hold steady, with a quiet offer to recalibrate if you’re struggling. Free
- ✓
“I’m Occupied” pauses the app’s attention for a while. Set it on the fly, or ahead of a call or a drive. Free
- ✓
Scaled-down “good enough” versions: “not up for the full routine? here’s the 10-minute essentials.” Free covers the built-in ones. Pro can generate a tailored minimum for any routine. Free AI minimums Pro
- ✓
A Rescue Kit you put together on a good day and open in two taps on a bad one: your minimum set, a comfort routine, a calming sound, a note in your own words. Free
- ✓
The morning after a hard day gets its own warm moment: “you made it through yesterday. Fresh start.” Free
A real crisis mode that goes quiet instead of nagging, and a rescue kit written by past-you for future-you.
Together, gently.
Support and body-doubling that actually help. By default nobody in your corner ever sees a “you failed” view, and nobody sees your task list: someone’s with you, without anyone watching what you did or didn’t do. And if pressure is the thing that gets you moving, you can choose to open a window and let it in.
- ✓
Body Double lets you work next to a quiet, present partner. On your own, a livelier companion plays that role, so you never need anyone else there to start. Free solo or with the companion. Matching with a real friend is Pro. Free real friend / match Pro
- ✓
One Accountability Partner sees a single daily mood signal (Great, Good, Hard, or Breathing Room) and can send back one warm preset reply. That’s the whole channel. They never see your tasks. Free on one device. Syncing it across devices is Pro. Free cross-device Pro
- ✓
A shared accountability window, off by default. When “someone knows” is exactly what gets you moving, switch it on for a stretch of time you choose and pick who can see it. For that window they can see what you’re working on, so the “they’ll notice” pressure works for you instead of against you. It’s your call every time, and it switches itself back off when the window ends. Free
- ✓
A “this involves someone else” flag, so the app checks with you before moving that task instead of quietly dropping it. Free
- ✓
A “with someone” tag that takes the edge off the dread and warms up how the day ahead looks. Free
- ✓
Opt-in share cards for the wins you want to show off. You preview every one first, and names come off by default. Free
- ✓
Synchronized timers and small shared signals so you can feel another person’s rhythm without a word of chat. Pro
- ✓
Collaborative Planning lets two people build tasks and whole plans for each other, both owning them, always with consent. Pro
- ✓
Hand a task to a support person so it lands on their planner as their own. Coming later. V2
An accountability partner who sees a mood colour, never your tasks, and body-doubling that works solo through a livelier companion, with nothing to coordinate.
