When everything feels important, the mind freezes โ€” and nothing gets done. Petal is not another to-do list. Lists show you everything at once; that's exactly what overwhelms you. Petal holds it all for you, and hands you one task at a time โ€” the one that actually fits this moment. HOW IT WORKS PLANT YOUR GARDEN Create a bed for each part of your life โ€” faith, health, work, family, learning. Give the important ones more weight, so Petal knows what matters to you. ADD SMALL PETALS Fill each bed with tasks small enough to finish in one sitting. Tag them with the moments they fit and how long they take. CHECK IN Tell Petal what you're doing โ€” commuting, at your desk, at home โ€” and how much time you have. Petal suggests the petals that fit. Ten minutes in a waiting room? There's a petal for that. BLOOM, ONE AT A TIME Start a petal and focus on just that. Finished? Lovely โ€” enjoy the petal rain. Couldn't finish? Tell Petal why. It listens, learns, and suggests smarter next time. NOTHING GETS FORGOTTEN Petal quietly rotates through all your beds, so quiet-but-important areas โ€” like your spiritual goals or your health โ€” never get drowned out by loud, urgent ones. MORE TO LOVE 1. Daily and weekly habits that regrow after they bloom 2. A gentle nudge (you choose how often) asking what you're doing, so the next task finds you 3. Home Screen widget with your next petal always at hand 4. The Bloom tab: streaks, weekly progress, and balance across your life 5. Honest insights from your own feedback โ€” see why tasks don't get finished 6. Sign in with Apple, private cloud sync, and one-tap account deletion 7. No ads. No tracking. Your garden is yours. Petal was built for minds that carry too much โ€” students, parents, freelancers juggling clients and dreams, anyone whose to-do list has become a source of guilt instead of help. Stop staring at the list. Let the right task find you. One petal at a time.
