## What is MindVines?

Feed the vine, not the path

MindVines™ is a calm, privacy-first habit app designed for the moments when self-control matters most.

Instead of counting streaks or punishing setbacks, MindVines focuses on something more powerful: building strength over time.

Founder Access is now open.

MindVines is completely free through 2026 (Founders will remain free for life).
Anyone who joins during the Founder Access period receives full access to all current features at no cost going forward.

Your progress is visual.

A vine continuously grows over a dirt path.

The path represents the habit’s pull.
The vine represents your growing strength.

Each time you pause, reflect, or make a healthier choice, your vine grows stronger.

Over time, it begins to cover the path.

Not because you’re perfect.
Because you’re practicing.

A different approach to habit change

Most habit trackers focus on streaks and perfection.

MindVines focuses on progress, resilience, and learning to respond differently.

Setbacks don’t erase your progress.

They simply reveal a bit of the path again.

Your vine keeps growing.

No shame.
No “streak broken.”
Just steady progress.

Designed for real-world moments.

### 5/5 — Different approach in a good way

*2026-04-25*

I really like how this system works. Instead of focusing on streaks and making you feel guilty if you mess up, it actually helps you understand your thought patterns. The vine graphics are a nice touch too, it’s cool seeing it grow as you make progress. I also like being able to set up a plan for next time using the shields. that part has been especially helpful for me.

### 5/5 — It really does help me stop my unwanted thoughts!

*2026-04-25*

This app really is wonderful! My guilty pleasures are shopping and sugar and I feel like I am now in more control over my urges since I have been able to track my progress.  My shopping has been greatly reduced and sugar consumption as well. I love how there’s really no negativity or shaming anywhere and really helps me stop these unwanted thoughts.  Get this app, you won’t be sorry!
