About

Dewling

Features
Read full description

Dewling is a tiny daily ritual: water your tree with one tap a day, and watch it grow. That's the whole game โ€” and that's the point. - ONE TAP A DAY Open the app, tap your tree, done. Watering is always free. Your Dewling grows through twelve stages over a hundred days, one day at a time. - EVERY TREE IS ONE OF A KIND Your tree's shape is grown from the day you planted it โ€” no two Dewlings ever look the same. - MISS A DAY? DEW DROPS Skip a day and your tree wilts. A Dew Drop revives it and keeps your streak alive. You earn them as your tree reaches new milestones. - THE GROVE REMEMBERS Lost trees aren't gone โ€” they're preserved in your Grove, at the height they reached. Every streak leaves something behind. - A GENTLE NUDGE, NEVER MORE One optional reminder a day, at a time you choose. No guilt-tripping, no spam. If a tree withers, we won't nag you about it. - SHARE YOUR STREAK Show off day 50 with a share card of your actual tree. FAIR BY DESIGN โ€ข No forced ads, ever โ€” only optional rewarded ads you choose to watch โ€ข No account, no sign-up, your data stays on your device โ€ข One optional one-time supporter purchase โ€” that's it Plant your seed today. See you tomorrow.
