Ten days. One plant. Decendium is a habit tracker built around 10-day "sprints." Pick a plant species at the start of each sprint. Tend up to three habits a day. Watch your plant grow one stage at a time — from a freshly turned pot to a full bloom on day 10. Decendium (Latin for a ten-day period) is for the gardener in you. The one who has tried every habit app and abandoned each within weeks. The one who wants a clean slate every ten days instead of an unforgiving forever-streak. — What makes Decendium different — • Three goals, not infinity. The constraint is the point — fewer habits, deeper roots. • Sunlight, not streaks. Earn sunlight by tending your habits. Spend it on new plant species, gardener avatars, and backdrops. Or use it to mend a missed day. Resilience over perfection. • Seven plant species. Sunflower, Strawberry, Lavender, Cherry blossom, Monstera, Bird of Paradise, and Mushroom cluster. Each with its own visual personality and growth arc. • A ten-day cycle that resets gracefully. Every sprint is a clean slate. Pull a habit that isn't working. Try something new. The plant is the trophy. — Decendium Patron — For the collector in you. Patron unlocks all 7 plant species, all 6 critter avatars (cat, fox, dog, pineapple, plus Patron-only Boston terrier and mushroom-person), and every backdrop including the Patron-only tier (Moonlight, Forest grove). $2.99/month or $24.99/year. Cancel anytime. Your earned sunlight, sprints, and plants are always yours — whether you're a Patron or not. — Cozy, restrained, designed — No streaks shaming. No leaderboards. No reminders that you missed yesterday. Just a quiet daily practice and a plant that grows when you tend it. Start small. Grow something.
