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.

Three ways to look at the same 25 memories.
Rail keeps it simple. Spine reads like a book. Vine is the one you'll screenshot. Same memories, three shapes — switch and see.
