Bellis: Gentle Habits

Bellis is a daily habit companion that is kind to you. Most habit apps are scoreboards. They count what you missed, guilt you about broken streaks, and turn looking after yourself into another job. Bellis does the opposite. It asks, it never tells — and if you disappear for a week, it gets quieter, not louder. YOUR DAY AS A FLOWER Every habit owns one petal. Unfinished ones stay small and folded; finished ones swell into full, wave-edged petals. Complete the day and the whole thing opens into a symmetrical bloom. The chart is not a progress bar with decoration — the shape is the data. A DIFFERENT QUESTION EVERY DAY Bellis never asks the same way twice. Each habit carries its own pool of phrasings, dealt out like a deck, so no question comes back until every other one has been used. "Did you get a moment of quiet?" today. Something else tomorrow. It stays a conversation instead of becoming wallpaper. THE DAY YOU HAVE LEFT A single bar shows the time you have spent in yellow and the daylight you still have in green. Not to rush you — to remind you there is still plenty of green left. IT SOFTENS WHEN YOU LEAVE Go quiet and the daily reminders do not escalate. They thin out into one soft line on a widening interval — "We left the light on for you" — and reset the moment you come back. There is nothing to catch up on and nothing to make up for. A gap is just a gap. BUILD IT YOUR WAY Start from a library of healthy habits — movement, water, meditation, a new recipe, time for yourself, checking in with your mood — or build your own with its own name, colour, and icon or emoji. Eight habits by default, because a day you can never finish stops being motivating. HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS Your flower on your home screen, in two flavours: one that redraws through the day, and one that only changes when you do. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No server. No analytics. No ads. Nothing to sign up for and nothing transmitted — Bellis has no backend to send anything to. Everything lives on your phone, and deleting the app deletes all of it.
