"I’ve tried every journaling app under the sun, but I always quit after a week because the pressure of keeping a streak was too much. This is different. I love that I can write just a sentence and watch a tiny hand-drawn plant grow. It’s the first time journaling feels like a reward instead of a chore."

Maya R.

"Finally, an app that doesn't want my data or use AI for everything. Knowing my thoughts stay on my iCloud while I build this beautiful digital garden is so refreshing. It’s my favorite quiet moment of the day, and the hand-drawn art is absolutely stunning on my home screen widget."
