Vivero turns the apps you're mindful of into a garden that grows with you — not a scoreboard that punishes you. HOW IT WORKS Pick a small handful of apps to be mindful of, set your own daily goal in the units that make sense to you, and grant Screen Time access. Each day you meet your goal, your garden grows. Miss one? Nothing dies. Vivero tracks a weekly rhythm — like 5 out of 7 days — instead of an all-or-nothing streak, so one hard day doesn't erase everything you've built. A COMEBACK IS PROGRESS TOO Coming back after a rough stretch gets its own recognition, not a guilt trip. Free grace days protect your rhythm on days that don't go to plan — no ads, no purchase required. YOUR CIRCLE, NOT A LEADERBOARD Grow a small circle with up to 5 friends. Sharing is opt-in and private by default — your circle sees your plant's stage or that you "grew today," not your exact minutes. No public rankings, no direct messages. TEN WAYS TO BE RECOGNIZED Badges span more than just consistency — showing up for the first time, a full week, a comeback, growing your circle, using a grace day, and simply sticking around for the long haul. BUILT TO OPEN BRIEFLY, NOT ENDLESSLY No feed, no infinite missions, no push notifications designed to pull you back in for the sake of it. Vivero is meant to be checked in a few seconds and closed. PRIVACY, PLAINLY Vivero only ever sees the total time you spend in the apps you personally chose to track — never what you looked at, read, or posted. Full privacy policy in Settings. Free includes the complete core experience — goal tracking, your garden, badges, and a circle of friends — for up to 2 tracked apps. Premium removes that limit and adds more grace days, unlimited friends, and additional garden customization. Available in English and Spanish, with an instant in-app language switch in Settings — no need to change your device language. Vivero is designed for adults building a healthier relationship with their phone. It's not a medical device and doesn't diagnose, treat, or claim to cure anything — just a small, honest way to notice your own patterns and grow something from them.
