Leafy: Grow with your Habits

Some days, drinking a glass of water is the win. Leafy notices.

In Leafy, you look after yourself and a little pixel greenhouse grows with you. There are five small habits a day: move, drink water, sit still for a few minutes, sleep, and get some daylight. Do them and your plant grows. Miss a day and it perks right up when you're back. Nobody's keeping score of your bad weeks, least of all the plants.

A GREENHOUSE THAT'S YOURS With over 20+ plants to earn, from a Swiss cheese monstera to a string of hearts, all drawn by hand in nostalgic pixels. Leaves unfurl, split and trail off the bench as they grow. Take a cutting, root it in a jam jar, then pot it up or give it away. Give every plant its own pot, from plain terracotta to a frog, a night sky or a jar of lemons, and swap them whenever the mood takes you. Sal handles the plant facts, and they're real botany, so they're handy for the plants on your own windowsill in real life too.

A STORY, TOLD SLOWLY Leafy is seven, and he's staying with his Aunt Pepper for a while. Why he's there comes out a page at a time as you level up from completing daily habits. It's warm, a little tender in places, and reminds you that you're in no hurry.

MINI-GAMES TO TRAIN YOUR BRAIN Test your memory with card match, spot the difference in odd gnome out, whack-a-worm to earn food for your plants and tidy the drawer to clean Aunt Pepper's greenhouse. Each only takes a minute or two.

BREATHE A BIT A guided breath with a beautiful flower, a dusty leaf to wipe and clean, and add some gentle music. If you use Apple Health, it all counts as Mindful Minutes too.

WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH, OR WITHOUT IT Connect Health and your steps, exercise, mindful minutes and sleep fill in on their own. Or alternatively; tap things in by hand. Both are fine.

A JOURNAL THAT DOESN'T GRADE YOU Leafy keeps a short diary of your days in plain words. Add a line of your own, or note what the weather's like in there today. It's never scored. Over time you'll see how your moods line up with your habits, and that's all.

CLOSE BY, NOT IN YOUR FACE Turn your phone into its own personal greenhouse with home screen and lock screen widgets. You can pick a different plant, in its own pot, for each one, and your home screen becomes a little shelf of its own. Use Siri shortcuts like "Log water in Leafy", and receive gentle reminders you can answer straight from the notification centre. Your garden backs up to your own iCloud, so it follows you to a new phone.

PAY ONCE. THAT'S IT. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account. No tracking either. Your garden and your Health data stay on your phone.

Leafy is a game, not a medical app, and nothing in it is medical advice.
