🌲 Life Biomes

The habit tracker you never have to open.

One email each morning. Reply with a number and you're done. The replies pile up into a journal you never sat down to write.

08:00 · every morning

It asks for one number.

This arrives at eight. I reply with a number, usually straight from the notification, and that's the whole interaction.

A Life Biomes check-in email open in Gmail, with a reply already typed underneath it.

Day 31 · still going

Something grows whether or not you look.

Every reply feeds something that keeps growing whether or not you look at it. I've replied every morning since July.

The Life Biomes dashboard: a pixel-art forest at its teeming stage, with a small traveller on the trail.

Thu 20 Aug · 8,600 steps

Your own words, on the day you wrote them.

Write more than a number and it keeps that too. The trail behind you turns into a journal you never sat down to write.

A journal entry: Thursday 20 August, 8,600 steps, a note about walking somebody else's dog, and the Candlecap Moth found that day.

×30 · thirty species

Clear the line and something turns up.

Clear the day's line and something turns up. It goes in a field guide that fills as you go.

A first sighting: a Dawnheart Lion resolving out of the dark, labelled Mythic, the thirtieth species in the codex.

The field guide

Every one earned by a morning you did not skip.

Six degrees of rarity, from a Forest Rabbit on the trail edge to whatever is waiting at the Forest Heart.

The Creature Codex open like a book on the Forest Rabbit page, with field notes on appearance, habitat and date sighted.

Past the trees

One habit at a time.

Your first biome is a forest you walk through. Master the habit and something wilder opens past the trees.

Mine counts steps. Yours could count pages read, minutes practised, laps run, or workouts done.

About the price of two coffees a month, say £6. Would you still want in?

No promises. If enough people want this, I'll open it up.
