Small things, done with more care. - The app now opens in its light, garden look by default. Prefer dark? It's still a tap away in Settings - Appearance. - Empty screens no longer feel like dead ends. The kiosk greets a new family with "A fresh plot" instead of an empty space, and every list in Settings now tells you what it's for and offers one clear next step. - The growth stages got their proper icons - a leaf, then a fuller leaf, then a tree. - Selected things now look selected, not just tinted - easier to read across a kitchen and kinder to colour-blind eyes. - Naming your family is optional now. You can skip straight to the part that matters.

A craft pass — the same garden, tended more carefully. - Awarding a point is instant now. Saving happens after the animation, not in the middle of it. - Haptics on the moments that were silent: a plant blooming, a new growth stage, a reward approved. - Points roll over instead of snapping. - The kiosk is lighter on battery — it no longer rebuilds every garden every 30 seconds. - Kinder words. When a child has already earned something today, the app now says "Already counted today - see you tomorrow" instead of reading like an error. - Starter packs no longer come with a "lost temper" penalty switched on. Gardens grow; they don't dock you. - The Faith-centered pack now fits any tradition, with a weekly worship day you choose yourself.

Share a little more garden. When you share your family's progress, your card now carries a Friend Pass — a free month of Power-ups for whoever you send it to. A quiet, generous way to pass the garden along. Plus small refinements under the hood.

New: Your Family's Month in the Garden. At the start of each month, a gentle recap looks back on the one before - led by a family "archetype" instead of a scoreboard. Were you The Weekend Gardeners? The Early Risers? The Steady Tenders? A quiet month simply becomes The Resting Garden - rest is part of growing, too. - A once-a-month look back, computed entirely on your device. - Little moments worth remembering, never a grade or a streak to defend. - A lovely, shareable card that carries your real garden - no names, no faces, nothing private leaves your family. Plus small refinements to the living garden throughout.

The garden grew up. Every plant has been redrawn by hand for this update: - Growth you can see: new leaves unfurl at watering milestones, a bud forms as a habit matures, and the flower opens while the streak is alive. - Five true species: golden sunflowers, tulips with long basal blades, daisies, unfurling ferns, and bellflowers that hang like tiny lanterns. - Living details: tapered stems, leaf veins, soft shadows, a gentle sway on the kiosk, and gardens that spring up out of the soil when you visit. - Resting plants now droop softly and perk back up with the next watering - never a failure state. Nothing about your family's routine or data changes. The garden is just more alive.
