Read full descriptionHide full description
Botanic is a quiet, private place to note what you take and how you feel. Start an experience by logging your first supplement, then let Botanic hold the thread of your evening β how much time has passed, what you've taken, and how each moment lands. It's a journal, not a guide: everything is yours to author, and it offers no doses and no advice. β’ A living session screen with the elapsed time, what you've logged, and what's scheduled β’ A timeline that gathers your supplements, check-ins, and notes in one gentle scroll β’ Soft check-ins for how a moment feels across three calm scales, plus a one-word summary β’ A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island so a session stays close at hand β’ Optional reminders to pause and check in while an experience is live β’ Grounding steps and a one-tap way to reach a support person when you want them β’ A warm, dusk-toned design built for low light Private by design. Your journal is stored on your iPhone and never leaves it β no account, no network, no analytics. Export everything as Markdown whenever you like. Botanic is descriptive and user-authored. It is not medical advice and does not offer dosing or guidance of any kind.
