Garden alternative

Garden went quiet.
Gravity keeps shipping.

If you loved Garden's simplicity but noticed the updates stopped and the crashes started, you're not alone. Gravity was built with the same philosophy — gentle reminders to stay in touch — but it's actively maintained and improving every week.
