A forest that grows as you keep your oath.

Cigarettes, drinks, screen time, anything you can count. Log it honestly, and every good day plants something new on your island.

Cold turkey doesn't work for everyone.

Most apps count perfect streaks and reset you to zero the moment you slip which, for a habit you're reducing, means failing constantly. Still Here is built the opposite way. You're not chasing perfection. You're tending something that remembers every step you've taken, and forgives the ones you stumble on.

Kind by design

Everything you need to see progress.

No streak-shaming, no ads. Just an honest picture of your habit over time.

Your months, at a glance

Example Every bar is one month. Green means you met your goal that month.

Honest, not punishing

Insight

Know your tricky moments.

Every tap keeps its time, so the app can show you when it tends to happen: which part of the day, which day of the week, and whether it is easing off.

  • Most land in the evening, 53% of your logs.
  • Saturdays are your heaviest, about 8 a day.
  • That's 28% lower than the 30 days before.

Watch it come alive

From bare soil to a living haven.

Every good day is one small arrival. Weeks in, your island is full of life, and at dusk the everyday animals curl up asleep while the rare visitors glow.

SeedA first sprout breaks the soil.
SaplingA tree, flowering bushes, a butterfly, a rooster.
GroveMore trees, a pond, and animals moving in.
Haven, at duskA waterfall, sleeping animals, and glowing visitors.

Keep going, and the rarest of all may come: a unicorn, a pegasus, even a little dragon.

A second thing grows too

Good days build a home.

Little builders raise a home as your good days add up, from a bedroll to a warm homestead with a crackling fire. Keep a run going and they work. Slip, and nothing is torn down; they just rest by the fire until you're back.

  1. Bedrollat the start
  2. Tent3 good days
  3. Lean-to7 good days
  4. Cabin frame14 good days
  5. Snug cabin25 good days
  6. Cabin with porch40 good days
  7. The Homestead60 good days
A third thing grows too

Honest days earn coins.

Spend them in the store on skies, tree colours, fruit and more for your island.

Coins are never taken away. A slip never costs you any.

  • Runs of 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days+10
How it works

Three small things.

  • Log honestly

    One tap each time with the exact time quietly recorded, so you can later see when you're most tempted.

  • Good days grow it

    Every day you stay within your limit adds one new living thing; a flower, a butterfly, a rabbit, a rare creature.

  • Slips never destroy it

    Go over and nothing is torn down. The forest holds everything you've grown. No zero. No shame. Just tomorrow.

Why I made this

It started on a road trip to Halls Gap.

Fresh air, a clean river, birds flocking to the benches; and my first thought was still "what a perfect spot to smoke." The only smoke around came from the meat shop. Everyone else was just reading, licking ice cream, sipping coffee. For the first time in my life, I felt ashamed of the thought.

That day became this app: A tribute to Halls Gap, and a promise to enjoy the good things without a cigarette in my hand.
