a small daily ritual

a quiet place
for how you feel.

one petal a day. by the end of the month, your feelings have become a flower.

start journaling

free for the first month. no card needed.

loading flower…

three small things, once a day.

it takes about ten seconds. that is the point.

01

pick a mood

five soft choices. bright, tender, calm, heavy, stormy. no scales, no scoring.

02

write a sentence

one line about the day. or none — the petal alone is already a kind of writing.

03

watch it bloom

the flower fills out as the month goes on. the center holds the average of how it all felt.

from people who keep one.

"i don't trust apps that try to make me happier. this one barely tries. perfect."
— mikael, deeply suspicious of joy
"i was going to make a habit tracker. then i drew a flower instead. honestly i don't know why you'd use this either."
— flo, made this, allegedly
"I am just disappointed this app doesnt feature coconuts at all"
— nic, journaling expert

why we built this.

most apps that ask how you feel want something from you. a streak. an upgrade. an opinion you can be sold against.

petal does not. it is a small, slow place to put one feeling a day. no charts. no scores. no notifications dressed up as encouragement. after a month, you have a flower. that is all, and it turns out that is plenty.

— flo, who made this in his kitchen.

free to plant.

keep the last 30 days for free, forever. three dollars a month if you want to keep every flower you ever grow.
