Hopeloo is a web app. It is free, and it works in the browser of a computer or a phone.

## Sign up

1. Open Hopeloo. If the e-mail field is not shown yet, choose **Use a passkey or email**.
2. Type your e-mail address and press **Email me a link**.
3. Open the link in the e-mail on the same device. It signs you in. If you are new, it creates your account.

There is no password. A passkey works too, once you have set one up.

## Your first moment

Your garden starts as a prepared patch of soil. Press **Collect a moment**, write a few words about something that made today a little lighter, and press **Keep it**. A sprout appears, and Hope cheers.

> [!TIP]
> Something small is enough. A warm coffee. A kind word. The sun on your face.

## Language and look

Hopeloo speaks English, German and Dutch; the language is under **More**. It has a light and a dark look; that is under **Settings**.
