A private sobriety companion for iPhone. Check in for thirty seconds a day, and a tree grows that is yours alone.
This tree grew just for your visit, in your local light.
Stage 1 of 6: Day one
You plant it the day you begin. No account, no sign-up: a date, a seed and you.
Stage 2 of 6: Week one
A thirty-second check-in waters it: how you feel, any cravings and what was behind them, and how you looked after yourself.
Stage 3 of 6: Three months
Writing in your journal, a breathing minute or a walk when a moment gets hard: everything you practise grows roots below the ground.
Stage 4 of 6: One year
Milestones are marked along the way. Now and then a visitor comes: a bird, a butterfly, a deer grazing at the edge of the glade.
Stage 5 of 6: Five years
It grows slowly, the way a real tree does. Every day of your journey is in it.
Stage 6 of 6: And beyond
Taller and broader, year after year. There is no finish line, only more tree.
Never shaming
If you relapse, your tree is kept in your Grove, never lost, and you plant again. Your roots stay, and doing something supportive soon after gives the new tree a small head start.
No red. No “streak lost”. No dead trees. The days count honestly, and everything you learned comes with you.
Inside the app
Check-ins
Thirty seconds: how are you feeling? Five faces, Rough, Low, Okay, Good and Great, and if you like, the feelings behind it, from lonely to angry to proud.
Any cravings and what set them off, and how you looked after yourself. Each check-in waters your tree.
Roots
Your tree shows time. Your roots show practice: checking in, writing, doing something for a hard moment and getting through hard days all grow roots below the ground.
Swipe up on the tree to look below, and tap a root to see what grew it.
When it gets hard
The person you trust comes first, if you have added one. Then something that might help right now: a guided breathing minute, a short walk, writing it down.
Crisis lines wait behind “I need someone now”, there whenever you need them, and never behind a paywall.
The more you check in, the more you’ll see: your mood over time, the feelings you name, when they tend to show up and what tends to help.
Now and then something comes to visit your tree: a bird, a butterfly, a deer grazing at the edge of the glade. It stays the day and is gone by morning.
Your tree keeps its leaves all year. Autumn’s colour carries into winter, and snow settles on the crown.
Privacy, in plain words
There is no account and no sign-up. We run no servers that hold your data, because we have none. Everything lives on your iPhone, and you can lock the app with Face ID.
Backups are yours too. Save an encrypted backup file whenever you like, locked with a passphrase, to wherever you choose, such as iCloud Drive. Nobody else can open it.
None of them ever receives anything you write. No ads, no tracking, nothing sold. Read the privacy policy.
Pricing
No features held back and no free trial. Crisis lines are always free to reach, paid or not.
