What's New in Branches
1.1.0
October 30, 2026
Now every day has its own sky; the clouds and mist go drifting by. • The sky above your tree now has weather of its own: clouds drift across on the day's wind, a far range of hills comes and goes in the haze, and mist settles in the valley. It follows the seasons (it isn't a forecast, so it needs no internet). • Snow falls in the distance on winter days. In dark mode, stars come out on clear nights, and fireflies flash at the start of summer nights. • Open the words with nothing written, and the prompt gently changes to a new idea every few seconds. • On iPhone Duo, open your phone like a book: your tree on one page and your journal on the facing page. Opening or closing it stirs a breath of air through the branches. • A steadier sky, and small fixes.
