Tree Growth

Timefully grows a virtual forest as you meditate. Each tree represents a commitment to your practice. This guide explains how to plant, grow, and complete trees.

How Tree Growth Works

  • Plant a tree – Start a new tree when you begin a meditation goal.
  • Complete sessions – Each session contributes to your tree's growth.
  • Growth stages – Your tree progresses through stages as you practice.
  • Complete a tree – Finish a tree by reaching its goal, then plant another.

Trees are a visual metaphor for your practice—steady growth over time.

Planting a New Tree

  1. From the home screen, tap Plant a tree or the tree icon.
  2. Choose a species (see below).
  3. Set your goal (e.g., 7 sessions, 7 days, or a time target).
  4. Tap Plant to start.

Tip: Align your tree goal with a short-term commitment (e.g., one week of daily practice).

Six Tree Species

Timefully offers six species, each with a unique look:

  • Oak – Strong, steady, classic.
  • Cherry Blossom – Delicate, flowering branches.
  • Mangrove – Coastal, roots above water.
  • Maple – Seasonal, vibrant leaves.
  • Olive – Mediterranean, timeless.
  • Wisteria – Flowing, purple blooms.

Note: Species are cosmetic—each grows the same way. Choose the one that resonates with you.

Growth Stages

Your tree progresses through stages:

  1. Seedling – Just planted.
  2. Sapling – Early growth.
  3. Growing – Mid-stage.
  4. Mature – Nearly complete.
  5. Complete – Goal reached.

How to see: Your tree appears on the home screen and updates as you complete sessions.

Completing a Tree

  1. Complete sessions toward your tree's goal.
  2. When you reach the goal, the tree is marked Complete.
  3. You can view it in your forest and plant a new tree.

Celebration: Timefully may show a brief celebration when you complete a tree.

Viewing Trees on the Home Screen

  • Active tree – Your current tree is shown on the home screen.
  • Completed trees – Access your forest or history to see past trees.
  • Progress – Tap the tree to see how close you are to completion.

Tip: Use your tree as a daily reminder—seeing it grow can motivate you to practice.
