November 6, 2025 A quick note on the Beta Offer

The app is totally free right now, and I'm actively looking for feedback, especially on the UI/UX flow.

If you test it out and decide it helps you, you will be locked in at 50% off for life (the planned price is $9/month, so you get $4.50/month forever).

The link is in the main post! Would love to hear your thoughts.

November 6, 2025 How the Automatic Momentum Scoring Works (No Time Tracking Required)

As a builder, I hate manual tracking. The momentum system is simple:

  1. You finish a work session and spend 30 seconds doing a "check-in" (just a note and energy rating).

  2. The algorithm weights recent activity heavier. If you don't check in for 7-10 days, the momentum score visibly drops.

This reframes progress: it’s not about checking a box; it’s about consistency. It forces you to look at your dashboard and see your true Top 5 active projects, based on energy, not just desire. I'd love feedback on how to make the scoring algorithm smarter.

November 6, 2025 Why the "Compost" Stage is the Most Important Feature

The motivation for Creative Garden came from one key feeling: shame. Traditional project apps don't give you a compassionate way to quit. You either finish a project or you fail it.

Compost is a "failure-free zone." You simply archive it, log the lesson learned (e.g., "I learned I don't like mobile development"), and the emotional weight is gone. This is the difference between a tool that manages tasks and one that supports creative mental health.

Does anyone else struggle with the guilt of unfinished side projects?

About

I was tired of feeling shame from my own productivity tools. As an INFJ with ADHD, I needed a gentle system that supports my natural rhythm of idea chaos and hyperfocus instead of fighting it.
