The loop

Two to five minutes, and it ends with something you did not expect.

Shop restocks
Buy seeds
Plant
Wait or boost
Weather rolls the mutations
Harvest
Sell, keep, or feed a pet
Better seeds, plots, tools, pets

The shop restocks every five minutes and the weather runs on its own schedule, the same one for everybody, so a Rainbow event is something a garden is caught in rather than something bought. Mutations land on whatever happens to be growing at the time: Golden, Rainbow, Giant, Glowing, Chilled, Wet, Shocked, and the ones each biome keeps to itself. They stack, and a stacked harvest is worth a preposterous multiple of the seed it came from.

The garden keeps going with the app closed — plants grow, weather passes, and your pets harvest for you — up to a few hours' worth each time you are away. Come back and it tells you what it got up to.

What it stands for

The rules the game is built to, rather than a list of features.

Never block the player

No energy bar, no hard paywall, no twenty-four-hour wall to stare at. If you have five minutes, the game has something for you to do with them.

Every session earns an ooh

A mutation, a new journal entry, an egg hatching, a weather front rolling in. Sitting down and getting nothing is a bug, not a difficulty curve.

Generated, not hand-placed

Plants, weather, mutations and biomes come out of data and rules rather than hand-built levels, which is why the garden keeps producing combinations nobody designed.

Ads are gifts, not tolls

The ads worth having are the ones you choose: double a harvest, re-roll the shop, make it rain. Interstitials are rare, capped, and never in your first sessions or in the middle of weather. The game says so on its own first screen, which is also where iOS asks whether adverts may be chosen for you — either answer gives you the whole game.

Premium feel

Real-time 3D, hand-painted light, haptics you can feel the soil in, and a garden that sits on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with the weather counting down and a button to catch it.

Cozy, for grown-ups

Made for people who want a garden to potter in, not a homework schedule. It is not a children's app and is not in the Kids Category.

Built for iPhone Duo

Laid out by size class rather than by guessing at a screen, so it fits the fold instead of being stretched across it. None of the poses below is in version 1.0: Apple's Duo layout APIs arrive in iOS 27.1 and cannot be built against until they ship. What version 1.0 does is the part that has to be right first — a layout that adapts rather than one that assumes — and this is what it is being built toward.

Closed — the ordinary phone layout, identical to every other iPhone. This one works today.
Open — the camera frames the whole garden while the shop, journal, pets and quests move into a panel beside it, so nothing you need sits behind a modal.
Tabletop — Terrarium mode. Garden above the fold, controls below it, the camera rising with the hinge angle. Left alone for a minute it dims to an ambient scene with the weather still playing: a desk terrarium that happens to be a phone.
Standing — the garden's Live Activity filling the outer display in StandBy, counting what is ready to harvest.

No feature will ever need a fold. Everything above is the same game, laid out for a bigger piece of glass.

What it looks like

Every picture below is the real game, captured from it — no mock-ups and nothing painted in afterwards. There are no review quotes on this page yet; they will appear when they are real, and not before.

It is free to play, it sells a purchase that removes the interrupting ads while deliberately keeping the optional rewarded ones, and nothing it sells is needed to see any of it.
