Aeolian: Breath Field Manual

Your tree now grows. The tree on your home screen fills in as you practice. It starts young, thickens as the habit takes hold, and flowers when you reach a long streak. Step away for a few days and it rests, thinner and quieter, but never gone. All of it is worked out on your own device from your own history, and none of it leaves your phone. The tree also follows the calendar. Blossom in spring, full in summer, warm in autumn, spare in winter with the roots lit. Breathe on it, if you like. Turn on Breathe on the Tree in Settings, then breathe out at your phone and the leaves scatter. Speak to it and the wind-harp answers. The microphone is used only for this, only while the home screen is open, and nothing is recorded, saved, or sent anywhere. The big exhale. Blow at the phone and the app steps out of the way. Everything fades but the light, your breath lifts large eucalyptus leaves up the screen in the colors of the season, and a quiet count runs while you hold. Stop, and it all comes back. Nothing is recorded or scored. Share the tree you grew. The card you can share from a finished session now carries your own tree, at whatever stage you have reached, and it asks you at the milestones worth marking. An easier way in. Opening the app for the first time now offers one breath before anything else, and starts you on a shorter version of the manual with the full one always a tap away. The trunk is drawn true, the tree sits better in its frame, and there are one or two things hidden in here worth finding.
