Disciplant, a habit tracker that grows a garden

About Disciplant

What it is for

Disciplant is a habit tracker where every habit you keep grows a plant. Tick a habit off on a day you did it and that plant gets a little bigger. Miss a day and nothing is destroyed. The plant just waits for you.

Why a garden instead of a number

A streak counter resets to zero and takes the evidence with it. A plant keeps the months you already put in, so a bad week costs you a number rather than the thing you have been growing.

How to start

Press Tasks and write down one habit. Press Enter garden to see it planted. You do not need an account to try this. If you want the garden to survive a new phone or a cleared browser, sign in with Google and it follows you.

How a plant grows

Size comes from the total number of days you have ticked that habit off, counted across its whole life. A current streak adds a small flourish on top, so breaking one never shrinks a plant back down.

When plants change shape

Each plant is redrawn at 2 days, 15 days and 60 days. In between it keeps getting slowly bigger, so most days are a small change rather than a jump.

The show today’s growth button

It sits above the garden. Pressing it rolls your plot back by the single day you earned today and then lets it grow into that day while you watch. Nothing is spent and nothing is saved, so you can press it as often as you like.

Rearranging the plot

Press Edit garden, drag your plants wherever you want them, then save. Outside that mode nothing moves, so you cannot knock a plant over by scrolling past it.

The greenhouse

This is where looks live. Every plant has a set of skins and the garden itself has a set of landscapes. The landscapes are all open from the start. Plant skins unlock as you go, two of them once you have 3 and then 7 friends, one from a 10 day streak on that plant, one from 30 days of growth on it.

Friends

Pick a username, add someone by theirs, and you can visit each other’s gardens. A friend sees your plants and how far along each one is, which does show roughly what kind of habit it is. A friend never sees what you actually wrote.

Who can read my habits

Only you. Habit text is stored under your own account and is never part of what a friend loads. If you want all of it gone, the account menu has a delete option that removes your garden, your profile and your username together.

How often to use it

Once a day is the whole loop. Open it, tick what you did, look at the plot for a moment, close it. Under a minute is the target.

Cookies and analytics

Signing in and saving your garden need storage on your device, so those are not optional. Google Analytics is: it counts visits, and it only ever loads if you said yes when asked. Nothing about your habits is sent to it either way.

The legal bit

The terms cover what this is and is not - in particular that it is a habit tracker and not a health service, whatever you happen to be tracking with it. The privacy policy covers what is stored and who can see it.
