Walk, and your
garden changes.

A little garden where needle-felted cats live.
Your steps today make flowers bloom, soften the dappled sunlight, and bring cats to visit.

Walking days and rest days alike, the garden carries on quietly.

On a day you walked, Shizuku came to visit — the real Garden screen

The more you walk, the more “nice to meet you” moments.

The cats you meet are kept in your Cat Book. Welcome a new cat, and it comes to your garden, too.

Poses you haven't seen yet appear when you meet them in the garden.

We won't tell you everything. Walk, and go meet them.

From a photo, your own cat
comes to the garden.

From a favorite photo, your cat becomes a needle-felted “My Cat.” Just like everyone in the garden, it sleeps and stretches, and on days you walk, it comes out by the flowers.

A garden on your
Home Screen, too.

Even without opening the app, the widget shows a moment of your garden right now. It shifts with the time of day, and on days a cat comes by, it arrives on your Home Screen, too.

“The garden's cat and today's steps, on your Home Screen.”

Your steps today become the garden's words.

Your steps from Health turn into the day's small events in the garden.
No goals, no quotas. The garden answers to however much you walked.

A short walk

A small flower blooms

Somewhere in the garden, a flower.
The flowers change from month to month.

A walk

The dappled sunlight softens

The sunlight grows brighter,
and the air in the garden changes.

A good walk

A cat may come to visit

On the veranda or in the dappled light,
cats come by.

A long walk

A special day

On days you walk a lot,
something special happens in the garden.

Steps are read from Health (HealthKit) and used only to turn into changes in the garden. Location is not used.

The garden is connected to the time right now.

It follows the actual time of day, from dappled daylight to a lantern-lit night.
Rain and snow fall with the weather in the region you choose, and cherry blossoms bloom as the seasons turn.
