Overview

Plantie is an app that combines a focus timer with growing different types of virtual polygonal trees. The player starts with an apple tree and completes tasks in order to earn different types of trees. The user begins by setting the focus timer for the desired amount of time, with a minimum of ten minutes. The timer will then count down while the user focuses on the task at hand. If the user presses the home button on their device or opens another app, the focus is broken, and the player is not awarded any coins. By completing the task, the player earns a coin, which can be saved to purchase additional trees within the app. The player can also earn badges for completing a certain number of tasks, collecting a certain number of coins, or focusing for a certain number of hours.

The app also allows for five-minute breaks in between setting task timers, but they can be skipped if the user wants to move to their next focusing task.

For users who want a more lenient approach to coin-earning, the settings menu allows for the user to have 30 seconds to navigate away from the app before breaking focus, or turning the focus break feature off completely.

After completing a few days of focusing, the player can use the stats app to track their efficiency over a period of time.
