## What is Hearth Island?

Start a focus session. When you finish, a tiny 3D island grows - and it keeps living while you're away.

FOCUS. EARN. GROW A LIVING WORLD.

Hearth Island turns the minutes you focus into something you can see. Set a timer, put the phone down, and do your work. Every focused minute earns one point of Focus Energy. Spend it to plant trees, build cottages, adopt a companion, and raise whole new islands out of the sea.

Nothing here is bought with money. Focus Energy is earned only by focusing - that is the whole point.

A WORLD THAT LIVES ON ITS OWN
- Real day and night, drifting clouds, and rain that ripples the sea
- Four seasons that follow your real calendar - spring blossom, summer fireflies, autumn leaves that fall and gather, winter snow on every roof
- A companion who wanders the island, plays with its yarn ball, and naps in its bed
- Plants that grow a stage with every session you complete

THE FOCUS THAT EARNS IT
- Simple sessions - pick a length, start, and focus
- Leave the app mid-session and it gently pauses instead of punishing you; a screen wake-lock keeps the phone awake while you work
- Optional Focus Shield quiets notifications for the length of a session
- Early ends still bank the minutes you focused - you are never punished for stopping

GROW THE ISLAND
- Plant flowers, bushes, pines, oaks and maples
- Build cottages, cabins, a greenhouse, a lighthouse and a dock
- Raise new land - Sunny Meadow, Quiet Cove, North Ridge - from open sea
- The flagship moment: build the Bridge and a brand-new isle rises, "New area discovered!", with more ground to make your own

FREE, AND ACTUALLY GENEROUS
The whole loop - focus, earn, plant, build, grow - is free. You can fill a whole island without paying a cent.

HEARTH PREMIUM
Premium opens the full catalog - palms, campfires, wishing wells, cabins, greenhouses, lighthouses, companion pieces, and new islands as they arrive. Premium items still cost the Focus Energy you earn by focusing; money only opens the catalog, it never buys progress.

$4.99/month, $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $59.99 once for lifetime.

Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, and your island is never uploaded anywhere. Requires iOS 15 or later; the living 3D world needs a device with WebGL2 (iPhone 8 and later).

----------
Hearth Premium is available as a monthly ($4.99) or yearly ($29.99, with a 7-day free trial) auto-renewable subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($59.99). Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
