Branches is a gratitude journal that grows into a tree, one leaf per entry.

Email [email protected] and I’ll get back to you. It helps to say which device you’re on and which version of the app.

Frequently asked

Where are my past entries?

Beneath the ground. Swipe up from the tree, or tap the leaf count under it, and History opens: every entry, gathered by month.

How do I edit or delete an entry?

In History, touch and hold the entry. Choose Edit to change the words, or Let This Leaf Fall to delete it. A fallen leaf’s words are gone for good; the rest of the tree keeps its shape.

Can I write more than one thing a day?

Yes. Each entry is its own leaf, up to 500 characters. A day turns over at 4 a.m., so something written after midnight still counts toward the evening before.

How do I turn on the reminder?

At the bottom of History, under A gentle reminder, turn on Every evening and pick a time. If notifications are off for Branches, the app says so and links to Settings. A day you’ve already written gets no reminder.

Can I export what I’ve written?

Yes. At the bottom of History, under Your words, tap Keep a copy. You get a plain-text file of every entry, dated, to save or send wherever you like.

Does it work offline?

Always. Branches never needs a connection.

Does it sync between my devices?

No. Entries are stored on each device separately. They are part of your device’s own backup, so restoring a backup to a new iPhone brings them with it.

What does a tip get me?

Nothing but thanks. Branches has no paid features, and every part of it is free. A tip can be left as often as you like, and Apple handles the payment.
