Put your phone down. Plant a tree.
Groundd is a focus app with one rule: as long as you don't touch your phone, your tree grows. Move it, and it stops growing.
No timers. No streaks. No notifications. Just you, silence, and a tree that needs you to stay still.

HOW IT WORKS
Place your phone on your desk and watch a seed grow into a thriving tree. The longer you stay focused, the taller and fuller it becomes — from a tiny sprout to a towering oak with fireflies drifting past at dusk.
The moment you pick up your phone and move it, the tree trembles, the sky darkens, and the leaves fall. Your tree stops growing, and the session ends.
Lock your screen freely — Groundd detects motion, not absence. Your tree keeps growing in silence while your screen is off.
---
YOUR FOREST
Every successful session (5+ minutes) adds a tree to your personal forest. Each tree is unique — oak, pine, cherry blossom, or maple — and stays in your forest forever. Watch your collection grow over weeks and months, a quiet record of every moment you chose to be present.
