Ayumigusa: 3D Plant Widget

Hanadokei is now Ayumigusa. Same plants, same shelf, same diary — plus two new species, twenty-one in all.

An iPhone app that puts a small living scene on your home screen.

Your step count moves it along. A seed sprouts, buds form, and the flower opens — one stage at a time, from walking alone. Keep the day itself too: where you went and what the weather was.

Every plant is modelled in 3D. Turn one with a finger and look at it from the side or the back. The pot follows the real world, and the light shifts in direction and colour as the hours pass.

■ What you can do

• A plant on your home screen: the time, the date, your steps, and the plant as it stands today • A walking diary: keep a day, with the place and the weather beside it • 21 plants from around the world: Violet, Shepherd's Purse, Rose, Tulip, Daisy, Lavender, Sunflower, Poppy, Columnar Cactus, Lily of the Valley, Baby Blue Eyes, Japanese Morning Glory, Money Tree, Japanese Maple, Cherry Blossom, Baobab, Ginkgo, Hydrangea, Cosmos, Narcissus, Pansy • Six stages from sprout to full bloom, moved only by your steps • A collection shelf, in 3D, where finished plants stand side by side • Where each one comes from, and what ten of the flowers have traditionally meant • Choose the pot: unglazed terracotta or white porcelain • Choose the typeface from four • Light through the day: morning to evening, and a lamp after dark • Weather in the scene: clear, cloudy, and rain each look different • Automatic step counting through Apple Health

■ Who it's for

• Anyone who would like something quiet to show for the walking • Anyone tired of a step counter that is only a number • Anyone who wants their home screen to look like their own • Anyone drawn to plants and trees from around the world • Anyone worn out by pushy notifications and ads • Anyone looking for a collection app that stays calm
