A gentle habit tracker for people who find productivity apps stressful. Complete tasks, earn seeds, grow a living garden — no guilt, no shame, no punishing streaks.

Decorate three garden environments with 100+ objects. Build streaks if you want, skip days without punishment. — FEATURES - Gentle task planner that rewards progress, never punishes - Notion sync — two-way task sync with your Notion workspace - Focus timer with ambient sounds for deep work and pomodoro sessions - Daily challenges that adapt to your pace - Journal and time capsule system tied to your plants - 200+ plant species with real botanical trivia and care facts - Plant trivia quiz with 100+ questions - Three garden environments: cosy interior, English garden, allotment - 100+ decorations to arrange and resize freely - Weekly progress reports with visual streaks - Achievements that celebrate every milestone - Full localization in English, Turkish, and Spanish — WHO IT'S FOR BloomDay is for people who want to be productive but find most task apps overwhelming.

It's also for Notion users who want their task management to feel rewarding instead of mechanical. — PRICING Free to use with ads.

Your phone is designed to distract you. BlockLab is designed to stop it. BlockLab uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block distracting apps during focus sessions and scheduled blocks — the same system-level protection built into iOS, with a cleaner, more intentional interface built around how you actually work. Focus your way Create Focus Profiles with the exact apps you want blocked. Start a manual session when you need to lock in, or set a recurring schedule so blocking happens automatically — no willpower required. Real blocking, not suggestions When a session is active, blocked apps are shielded at the system level. There's no sneaking past it. Grace Period Need a moment before a block kicks in? BlockLab gives you a grace period so you can wrap up what you're doing before focus mode takes over. Pay once. Use forever. No subscription. No monthly fee. No paywalled features. Buy BlockLab once and it's yours. BlockLab is for people who want a simple, honest tool — not an app that gamifies your attention or monetizes your habits.
