Plant a tree and leave your phone alone. Lock it, pocket it, put it face down — the tree keeps growing. Open something else and it dies. That is the whole idea, and it works because the stake is real. WHAT GROWS Every finished session becomes a tree in your grove. Days fill up, months fill out, and a year of attention turns into somewhere you can actually look at. Seventeen species across five regions, and you cannot buy a single one. Each is earned by focusing — some by total hours, some by finishing long sessions, some found by chance in the ones over ninety minutes. Your trees, your garden, all of it earned. DAY AND NIGHT After dark the grove gets a moon, stars and moonlight on the leaves. Not a dark mode — a time of day. It follows your phone, or you can hold it at night all day if you like. LOCKING YOUR PHONE IS FOCUSING Most focus apps cannot tell putting your phone down apart from picking up another app. Thicket can. A locked screen is exactly what it asks of you, so nothing is lost. Wandering into another app is what it is there to stop — and you get a warning with time to come back. QUIETLY BUILT · No account, no sign-up, no server · No analytics, no advertising, no tracking of any kind · Backup to your own iCloud, so losing a phone is not losing a year · Your whole history and every statistic, free forever THE FULL VERSION Free gives you the timer, deep focus, the lock screen timer, all your statistics, iCloud backup, and four species to plant. The full version opens the rest of the catalogue: all seventeen species, all five regions, the whole garden. You still earn every one of them by focusing — buying opens the catalogue, it never plants a tree for you. Thicket is made by one person. If something is wrong, write in and a real person answers. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://urosgruber.github.io/thicket/privacy.html

Thicket 1.1 - we went outside so the app didn't have to You were focusing. We were weeding. Here's what grew: A proper daytime sky. The night always had its moon and stars - now noon actually looks like noon, and dawn like dawn. Not a theme you toggle. A time of day. Tag a session after it ends. Because "wait, what was I even doing?" tends to land about ten seconds too late. Now you can label it once it comes back to you. Statistics that count like a human. Weeks, months and streaks now follow the calendar instead of rigid 24-hour blocks - a day runs midnight to midnight, the way your brain already assumed it did. Tidier backups. Restoring a year of focus now goes through the proper system file picker, so finding your backup is less of a scavenger hunt. And the unglamorous stuff: cleaner session endings, a reset that genuinely resets (iCloud copy and all), and a grove that keeps its cool if it ever meets a saved note it can't read. No notifications were sent in the making of this update. Now go put your phone down.
