A LITTLE HELP ALONG THE WAY

Your garden, kept safe.

Backups, beta details and a place to prepare feedback.

KEEP A LITTLE COPY

Back up your garden.

Use Back up garden in the app footer, or open Settings → Backup & account.
Choose Export garden and keep the downloaded JSON file somewhere you can find it.
In your new browser, test file or desktop app, use Import garden. Read the replacement prompt before restoring.

Different browsers, website addresses and the desktop app have separate local gardens. Export from the old location before moving.

ABOUT THIS BETA

Website access and accounts.

The browser beta is publicly accessible. You can open it without a hosting invitation.

Guest play needs no Little Leaf account. Accounts require an email and password; a username can wait until you use Friends.

Live email verification, cloud backups and co-op setup is still being completed. Guest gardens and exported backups work independently.

WINDOWS TESTING EDITION

Desktop beta 0.2.0.

The Windows installer is shared privately. Ask the person who shared Little Leaf with you for the approved testing file. A public download is not available yet.

Automatic updates are not connected. Website edits do not update an installed desktop copy. Use the approved replacement installer when a new desktop version is released.

Closing the window keeps the timer in the tray. Use Little Leaf → Quit to close it completely. Transfer gardens between web and desktop with an exported backup.

Installer status

The testing installer is unsigned. Its earlier browser-warning investigation remains unresolved; a passing antivirus check does not establish browser clearance. Signing and public distribution remain unfinished.

WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO SHARE

Your garden and data.

Guest play: plants, tasks, journals, preferences and progress stay on this device. Clearing browser data can remove that copy.

Cloud backup: choosing Save a cloud copy sends your garden, including tasks and journals, to your account's private cloud storage. Cloud copies are manual; signing in does not replace a device garden automatically.

Friends and rooms: sharing is optional. Friends see the profile and artwork you choose to share; plant nicknames are optional. Rooms share limited artwork, presence and session timing. Tasks, journals, email and Leaf Token balances are excluded from friend showcases and rooms.

Feedback: stays on this page until you copy it. It never attaches a garden or sends a report automatically.

A LITTLE RECORD OF CHANGE

What's new.

Browser build 2026.10.12-little-beginnings · Updated 12 October 2026

Website: little beginnings

A new companion-led website introduces Little Leaf through its mascot, a focus-to-growth time-lapse, six room previews, plants, sounds and a journal. Help, website-access details and backup guidance remain available.

Browser app: living motion

Tutorial packets now use the real paper and seed animations. Plants have idle actions, care and rewards animate, and rooms have quiet details. Optional short sounds have their own controls.

Windows: testing beta 0.2.0

The private desktop release is a fixed installer snapshot. Website edits and development builds are separate. Future desktop releases happen only when approved by the owner.

HELP LITTLE LEAF GROW

Prepare a test report.

Copy a short report and send it to the person who shared Little Leaf with you. Include a screenshot if it helps. Leave out private tasks, passwords and personal details.
