About

Mebana

Features
Read full description

Mebana is available in Japanese only. Mebana is a small self-care journal for days when you are tired but not sick. Log tiny actions such as drinking a glass of water, opening the curtains, or taking a deep breath, and a potted plant grows from a sprout into a flower. There is no streak counter and nothing wilts. If you take a day off, you simply continue the next day. Your care logs, journal entries and moods stay on your device; the developer has no server that receives them. Purchases are handled through RevenueCat; see the Privacy Policy for details. There are no ads. Add a Home Screen widget to see your plant and today's water at a glance. The widget shows only your plant's name and picture and today's water, never your logs. You can also share your bloomed flower as a tall image that fits Stories. Growing a plant to a flower is free. The optional paid plan (monthly, yearly, or one-time purchase) adds more spots for room decorations, the full monthly review, and a letter from your plant at the end of each month.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: re at none against Mebana's 3. Mebana's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
