Your habits are dragon eggs. Tend them daily and watch them hatch.
A calm, gamified habit garden — Forest meets Tamagotchi, without the shame.
Live: hatchtend.com
Most habit apps are a checkbox, a streak counter, and a guilt trip. Tend is a little garden you open every morning. Each habit is a dragon egg on a tiny planet — show up, and it warms, cracks, hatches, and grows through five stages. Miss a day? The journey pauses. Your dragon waits. Nothing dies, nothing resets.
Assume the best in you. Every day defaults to "you did well." Only speak up when you slipped. Honesty is never punished.

No shame mechanics. No dying dragons, no red punishment screens. Relapse copy sounds like a friend: "You went 3 days. That strength is still inside you."
Engagement without addiction. No loot boxes, no guilt notifications, no "your pet is dying" dark patterns. Care, not surveillance.
