Refined ember-glow glass surfaces, warmer highlights, a refreshed welcome, and clearer companion controls. Your companions, growth, memories, and existing purchases stay with you.

Make a little room for calm. This update refreshes our App Store description to make the app's features and optional purchases easier to understand. Your existing features, saved data, and purchases are unchanged. Thanks for being here—and for helping shape what comes next.

Share a little warmth: a new Share with a friend option in Settings makes it easier to introduce someone to Hearthling. Purchase and restore flows have been checked for Care Club and the Cozy Hearth Pack, with clearer status after Ask to Buy approval. Your first companion, First Resonance, everyday care, and revival remain free.

First Resonance turns adoption into an immediate, free interaction. Ten species now use five distinct authored engines—Living Trace, Elemental Balance, Memory Echo, Current Guidance, and Pulse Calling. Complete your spirit's ritual, choose a lasting facet, and meet the Hatchling in the same session. Resonance score, facet, and attunement persist in Hearth and Journey. The free Spirit Atlas, Living Chronicle, ordinary care, revival, first companion, and local backup remain available without a purchase.

Your buddy now roams the full hearth with natural pauses, turns, and movement. Eggs hatch after a day and buddies grow through new life stages. Your first buddy and every care action stay free. Extra Hearths is an optional one-time purchase for two more buddy slots.
