## What is Seed?

Turn the in-between minutes you'd lose to the endless scroll into one minute of thinking clearer.

Seed hands you one mental model a day. Inversion, second-order thinking, opportunity cost, Occam's razor, confirmation bias — the thinking tools that bring the world into focus, one short card at a time. Five domains — Thinking, Knowledge, Inspiration, Reflection, Action — rotate fresh each week.

Open the app, see one seed. Swipe, see the next. That's the whole loop.

■ Core features

- Mental-model cards: a short thinking tool you can take in at a glance. Tap "Go deeper" for one more layer.
- Context awareness: CoreMotion senses commuting, waiting, and idle states and hands you a seed sized to the moment.
- A map of your thinking: a seed you like gets pinned right where you liked it. Reopen it, write the idea it sparked, and the seed grows into a sprout. Where you thought what becomes a map you can share.
- Your one line: leave a line on a card — how it shifted today's choice.
- Weekly recall: pick the thought that stayed with you most this week and keep it as a card to share.
- Widgets: today's seed on your home and Lock Screen.
- Always-growing seeds: new mental models arrive without an app update.

■ Why Seed

No long article, no long video. A minute is enough. One mental model stays in your head and resurfaces somewhere in your day. You don't need to memorize it perfectly — a thought you only glanced at will, in time, change a decision.

User input is minimized. Open the app, see one seed. Swipe, see the next. That's it.

■ Privacy

Motion and location data used for context awareness are processed entirely on-device — never sent to a server. Your reading history and map pins are stored locally.

One mental model a day. The habit of thinking clearer.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.21.1 — 2026-07-12

1.21.1 — Small refinements

Stability improvements and minor fixes to keep your seed garden running smoothly.

From an app you read, to an app where thoughts grow.

### 1.21.0 — 2026-06-20

1.21.0 — Your seeds bloom again

This update turns passive reading into something that grows — the ideas you keep come back to you as your own.

• Plant a seed: one tap to make a seed yours.
• A quiet return: days later, your planted seeds resurface at the right moment — nothing to do.
• Your seed garden: the thinking models you've collected, growing in one place.

From an app you read, to an app where thoughts grow.

### 1.16.0 — 2026-06-11

1.16.0 — The garden and its friends, renewed

• The garden, reborn: a single rich, seamless watercolor backdrop with plants that grow from the ground — all redrawn.
• The rabbit and squirrel match the same watercolor tone now: they turn away and wander the garden, leaning in sideways to look at the plants instead of just facing you.
• They sleep in different poses each time, and gently breathe even while resting.
• Fresh seeds keep arriving — a line of thinking, inspiration, reflection, action.
• Stability and accessibility polish.

### 1.9.9 — 2026-05-16

1.9.9 — Active participation + accessibility + archive

This update turns Seed from *read-only* into *leave-your-own-trace*.

• Plant your own seed: a line you wrote returns in your deck days later — meet your past self again.
• Echo: leave a one-line note on a favorite — how it shifted your day. Tap a plant in the Garden.
• Archive: search across favorites, echoes, and your own seeds (Settings → Archive).
• Streak Revival: broken a streak? One ad revives it (once every 30 days).

Connectivity & accessibility:
• Notifications now match your time and domain: "A quiet night, a moment of reflection."
• Tap a notification — that exact card opens.
• Heart a card — a small "planted in the garden" toast.
• Sunday Recall card + share "this week's one line."
• Widget cards open that exact seed.
• VoiceOver rotor actions — "Next seed", "Favorite".
• Plants pulse on your first Garden visit each day.
• Friendly Korean sharing tone + redesigned share card.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-05-14

1.5.0 업데이트

• 내 정원에 살아 움직이는 친구가 생겼어요. 빈 곳을 탭하면 그쪽으로 천천히 걸어가고, 식물을 탭하면 다가가 물을 뿌려줍니다. 식물을 길게 눌러 옮기면 친구도 따라옵니다.
• 가만히 두면 정원을 거닐며 산책해요.
