Sam, a small round blue gardener, stands in a pixel-art garden at dusk, beside a tall flower with a glowing lamp.

What it is

Some tasks are easier when someone works beside you. That is body doubling. Lamp Garden gives you a quiet companion for it: Sam.

When you focus, Sam works in the garden. When you stop, Sam rests. There is no call, no camera and no other person. You do your task, and Sam does theirs.

Lamp Garden was made for ADHD, autism and executive dysfunction first. It is for anyone who gets stuck at the start of a task, or who works alone.

How it works

  1. Start a focus session when you are ready: a countdown from 1 to 120 minutes, or a stopwatch.
  2. Sam starts to work beside you.
  3. Finish the session, and something new grows in Sam's garden.
  4. If you get distracted, nothing is lost. Your next session tidies up.

Free, with no ads

The free app is the whole app. Nothing in it waits for you to pay.

Sam

A body double who is always there. Sam works when you work, and rests when you rest.

The timer

Your pace: a countdown from 1 to 120 minutes, or a stopwatch.

The garden

Each session you finish grows something new. The garden shows your focus, with no score.

Calm sound

Brown noise, or soft music the app makes as it plays, so it never repeats.

Lamp Garden Premium

Everything above stays free. Premium adds more ways to focus with Sam.

“Premium” is one payment, and it unlocks:

  • Sam on your lock screen, and home screen widgets
  • More sounds, and a mixer for two
  • Activity themes: Sam does your kind of task
  • Gentle routines of focus and breaks
  • A garden journal of each day
  • Sam's long projects
  • Gifts for Sam
  • Sam on your computer, with one garden on all your devices
  • Every Premium feature added later

You pay once. There is no subscription. The store shows the price for your country, in your currency, before you buy.

Bought it before, or on another device? The app restores it from the same store account.

What it does not do

  • No points, no badges, no streaks. Nothing to keep up with.
  • No messages that make you feel bad for a day off.
  • No account, and nothing to sign up for.
  • No ads, no analytics and no tracking. Nothing is sent to us.
  • It works with no internet. Only the purchase uses it, and iCloud sync if you turn it on.
