Hearth & Tails: Letters Home
Raise a friend, get letters
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A quiet garden. One friend at a time.
Welcome a young pet. Share meals, offer a pat, play together, and help them enjoy a warm bath. Each day becomes a page in your garden journal as your companion grows into a confident traveler.
Graduation is not goodbye. When the day comes, your friend packs for the road and sets out. Hand-painted postcards soon arrive from faraway places, each carrying a scene, a chance encounter, and a voice shaped by the personality you came to know. Old friends may even find their way back to the garden.
Wild visitors stop by for a day, leaving quiet memories in your Visitor Compendium. As new companions arrive, your pet compendium, postcard album, and garden journal become a record of many small relationships.
Hearth & Tails is designed to make companionship feel gentle and lasting:
- No hunger penalties and no punishment for time away
- One pet at a time, so every bond has room to matter
- 12 pet species, multiple color variants, and four growth stages
- 40 travel destinations with ongoing postcards
- Daily visitors, returning graduates, and small garden events
- Hand-painted watercolor scenes, expressive pet animation, and ambient music
- Fully playable offline, with no account, ads, analytics, or tracking
- Designed for both iPhone and iPad
Each friend leaves a page in the garden journal, and every letter adds another view from the road.
