You had a good quiet time this morning. You opened your Bible, heard something, maybe wrote it down. And then the day started — and by noon, you couldn't tell anyone what God gave you. By evening, it felt like your quiet time happened to a different version of you. Not because you don't care. Because nothing brought you back. Planted was built to fix exactly this. Each morning, you enter the one word or phrase from your quiet time. Just one. Planted handles the rest. Throughout your day, you'll receive a small number of gentle reminders — a question, a Scripture, a statement, or a prayer — each one tied to the word you started with. Carefully spaced. Timed to feel like gifts, not interruptions. You'll return to it two, three, five times without even trying. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Open Planted after your quiet time and enter one word or phrase 2. Go about your day 3. Receive gentle reminders that bring you back to it throughout the day WHAT YOU GET: • Four kinds of reminders that rotate: questions, Scriptures, statements, and prayers — all tied to your word • Full control over timing: set your reminder window, how many reminders you want, and how far apart • Complete privacy: no account, no profile, no data sold — ever • A beautifully simple experience that does one thing, excellently The day you download Planted is the day your morning quiet time stops ending at 7am. Psalm 1:1–3 describes the person who meditates on God's word day and night — not morning only. Planted takes its name from that passage. It was built by people who practice the spiritual discipline of meditation and kept failing at it the same way you do — not from lack of desire, but lack of infrastructure. Start your free 14-day trial. No account required. Just one word, held all day. PRICING: Free for 14 days. Then $1.99/year or $9.99 one time. Daily Bible word meditations, full reflection history, unlimited access to all features: all included in your purchase.
