You can also set up automatic protection. • Dawn & Dusk helps you start and end your day away from your draining apps. • Growth Hours blocks your draining apps during the times you schedule. • Bonsai Oath invites you to commit to staying away from your draining apps for a duration you choose. CULTIVATE SMALL HABITS Choose a weekly intention and discover small daily actions around calm, reading, movement, rest, digital disconnection and more. Move at your own pace and find what works for you. DISCOVER YOUR PROGRESS In Your Growth, explore your activity, follow your daily goal and record a personal commitment in the calendar. See your streaks and discover the time you’ve made for yourself. Before pruning, look back at your weekly recap to reflect on your usage, your care and the days ahead. Your recap adapts to the data available. A MOMENT FOR YOU • Focus: give a task your attention in a peaceful setting. • Workout: organise your exercises and sets while your bonsai trains with you. • Relax and breathing: take a break and enjoy a moment of calm.
