## What is Branch Out?

Live beyond your routine.

Branch Out turns trying new things into a galaxy you grow yourself. Every star is one real thing to do: watch the sunrise, cook a recipe you've never tried, call an old friend, swim 10 laps. Do one, and the stars connected to it open up.

MOSTLY FREE, AND SMALL ENOUGH TO START TODAY
Each star tells you what it costs and about how long it takes. Filter for free or cheap, or tap Surprise me and let the dice choose.

FIND A HOBBY THAT STICKS
When you finish a star that starts a hobby, tell Branch Out if you'd do it again. Say yes and that hobby opens its own path of next steps. Say no and nothing's lost.

KEEP THE STORY
Add a photo and a note to everything you try, and your photo fills in the star. Your Timeline gathers it all into chapters, one for each season, and you can rename them, start your own, and add your own photos and notes.

VISIT YOUR FRIENDS' WORLDS
Invite friends and visit each other's maps, then leave a reaction on a star you love. It's invite-only and goes through your own iCloud. There's no feed, no scores and no comparing. You can also send a star to a friend in Messages and ask them along.

NO PRESSURE
No streaks. No XP. Nothing decays if you take a month off. No ads, no accounts, and no tracking.

MORE WITH BRANCH OUT+
The full 300-star galaxy is free. A one-time purchase of Branch Out+, with no subscription, adds:
• More constellations of stars to explore
• Five more worlds: Blossom Tree, Electric Circuit, Clockwork Cosmos, New Ground and Arcane Circle
• Your own stars, for anything that isn't here
• Plans with days, reminders and Apple Calendar

Use good judgment with every activity, know your limits, and follow local rules.
