This application is based on operant conditioning that simplifies everyday tasks for people suffering from depression and helps them to structure their daily lives. The app simplifies everyday tasks, from basic activities like brushing teeth to custom user-defined goals. To encourage consistency, progress is visualized through a growing plant. Completing tasks helps the plant flourish, and once fully grown, it is placed on a virtual shelf before a new seedling begins. Unlike traditional task trackers, the plant never withers, ensuring a positive experience without negative reinforcement. The app can also be integrated into therapy, allowing therapists to assign personalized tasks to support treatment.

This project was designed and prototyped using several design methods. The first step was to conduct in-depth research into depression and a market analysis. Keywords, aspects and methods were then taken from this research to create an ideation mindmap, which focused on a concrete idea. This idea was then further defined idea using Simon Sinek's Golden Circle method. This concept was then presented to several people suffering from depression, as well as to a psychology professor and a therapist. The feedback provided was implemented. At this stage, the focus was on the components needed for the app interface and the evaluation of the importance of various user functions. To assist with this process, we created personas, a user journey, a user flow and a functional description. Once the functionality had been finalised, the design process was started by creating a moodboard featuring several wireframes of phone apps to draw inspiration from. Furthermore, various illustration styles were explored for the plants. Due to time restraint a simple vectorbased flatart style was chosen to achieve a minimalist, professional and user-friendly look.
