Grow a Little Star

Grow a Little Star

A quiet app for spending time with a single star.

Inside a little glass jar, there’s a tiny universe.

Give it a little light,
or simply stay and watch.

There’s no need to hurry.

Your star isn’t going anywhere,
even when you’re away.

While a star is still small,
we call it a tiny star.

Each one is shaped a little differently.

There are probably no two with quite the same shape.

Growing Your Star

Twice a day,
you can give your star a little light.

The rest of the time,
it’s fine to simply watch.

The more time you spend together, the more the night sky slowly changes.

A moon, constellations, shooting stars.
Before you know it, the sky looks a little different from the first night.

Each Star’s Own Time

Each star has a personality of its own.

How it twinkles
This star seems to twinkle often.
Favorite sound
It seems to love the sound of crickets.
How it grows
It seems eager to grow up quickly.
At night
Even late at night, it seems to stay up for a while.

Beyond the time together.

After seven days together,
your star takes on a new form.

When that day comes,
you get to choose what it becomes.

A little sound for the night.

Quiet night music,
with the occasional ring
of little bells and wind chimes.

Gentle sounds to play
while you spend time with your star.

Plays sound. Tap again to stop.

Your star, beyond the app.

On your Home Screen,
and on Apple Watch.

Whenever you glance over,
your star is there.
