Growth Tree turns learning into growing a tree. Choose a field, see a clear path from beginner to advanced, and check off each skill as you learn. Your tree grows from a seed into a full tree, making every step of progress visible. 【115 real learning paths, with more on the way】 Explore paths across AI, software, games, content creation, photography, design, e-commerce, product management, emerging careers, lifestyle businesses, crafts, finance, investing, and more. Each path contains about 30–45 skills arranged from foundational to advanced, with more than 3,900 skills across the app. 【Every skill explains three things】 What it is, why it matters, and how to learn it yourself—plus a practical exercise you can act on. 【Check in and watch your tree grow】 There are no locked steps or forced order. Mark a skill complete whenever you learn it. Each field has its own tree and keeps its own progress. 【English and Chinese】 The entire app supports English and Chinese. Follow your system language or switch anytime in Profile → Language. All 115 path names, roadmaps, and skill details are bilingual. 【Career Compass: find your direction before you plant】 Not sure what to learn next? Take a free five-minute Career Compass assessment. Fifteen questions bring together your interests, current abilities, and real-world constraints, then compare them with 115 growth paths. Your free result includes your top match, why it fits, and one barrier worth knowing. Career Compass Pro is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks the complete Top 3 ranking, side-by-side comparisons, strengths and skill gaps, and a personalized 30-day trial plan. Retake the assessment anytime. The assessment runs on device; your answers and report are not uploaded. 【Quiet by design】 No ads and no subscriptions. Optional study reminders are off by default and run only on your device. Your progress and assessment stay on device by default; when you use iCloud, they sync privately through your own iCloud account. To improve the product, the app collects only anonymous usage statistics that are not linked to your identity and never include your answers or learning progress. They are not used for advertising or tracking. For anyone exploring a new direction, turning an interest into a career, or wondering where to begin.
