Creatives’ Garden — one file, anywhere, forever
On Creatives’ Garden — People → Touchpoints → Garden. Tend the relationships your craft grows from.
The Garden is one HTML file. You can email it to yourself. You can put it on a stick. It runs the same on any laptop, any operating system, any decade.
Where it lives
In whatever folder you keep it in. There is no install. No 'app data' in a mystery location. If you can find the file, you have the Garden. If you can't find the file, no tool on earth can help you.
That is a feature. Files behave. Cloud accounts do not.
Between machines
Sync with any file-sync tool you already use — Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Syncthing, git if you must. The Garden does not add its own sync layer; it plays nicely with any file that gets copied around.
If you don't sync, that is fine too. Pass the file on a stick like the archivists do.
Air-gapped mode
First load caches the file in the browser. From then on it runs with the network disabled. Cabin, plane, subway, city with bad Wi-Fi — the Garden works the same.

Questions people ask
Can I put it on iCloud Drive?
Yes — the Garden is a file. iCloud will sync it like any other.
Two devices at once?
Sequential, not simultaneous. It is a file, not a service. Close on one, open on the other.
What if my phone is my main machine?
The Garden opens on mobile but is designed for a laptop-sized read. Keep it on the laptop, glance from the phone.
The relationships that make a working life deserve a tool that moves with you.
