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.

No red alerts when you miss a day. No broken streaks. No guilt. Just a quiet garden that grows alongside your progress. — HOW IT WORKS Every task you complete earns seeds. Spend them in the nursery to collect over 200 hand-illustrated botanical species — from monstera and snake plants to dwarf fruit trees, heritage vegetables, and rare exotic specimens. 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.
