The grove, live
Every timeline is drawn as a tree. Grow one yourself.
Same rules, eight species. The tree is generated from your memories — same seed, same tree, every time you open the app.
41 memories
Species — free for everyone
Season — follows the real calendar
- 0 leaves — one per memory
- 0 blossoms — milestones, and capsules that have opened
- 0 fruit — years spanned
- 0 bud — a sealed letter
The crown steps up at 4, 16, 41, 101 and 200 — never on a schedule, only on what you kept.
Plant it from a template
Every tree above started as one of these.
Open any one to see everything it sets. A template is a starting shape, not a cage — every field it sets can be renamed, removed, or ignored after planting.

See it, don't take our word
Three ways to look at the same 24 memories.
Rail keeps it simple. Spine reads like a book. Vine is the one you'll screenshot. Same memories, three shapes — switch and see.

Days practised
19 days per month
Walking instead
On restless days, walking works when sitting does not.

Ngồi không phải để hết nghĩ. Ngồi để thấy mình đang nghĩ.
From the teacher on the second morning of the retreat, after I complained.

Two nights. No phone. Rained the whole time.
The schedule
Four thirty in the morning. Twice. Voluntarily.

First long one
Thirty-five minutes, at the retreat, and it went faster than ten used to.
The hall
Forty people, no talking, three days. Strangest and best weekend in a long time.

Ten minutes, sped up
The light moves right across the floor. I never notice it happening.
A month with more sessions than not
Total time
Twelve hours in eighteen months. Not impressive. Cumulative, though.
12 hours
Ten hours total
Noticed I got angry today and watched it happen rather than being it. First time. Lasted about four seconds.

Where it happens
A corner, a path, and one hall in the mountains.
Ten minutes, most days. That is the entire practice and it took a year and a half to accept that is enough.

Sealed until October 2027
