## What is Moonsill?

When it rains where you live, it rains on your windowsill.

Moonsill is a small garden on a painted windowsill that follows your real weather. Rain fills your rain barrel, and you pour it on your plants. Sunny days help them bloom. The view outside changes with your season, from monsoon rain to snow, and at night the moon you see in the window is tonight's moon.

REAL WEATHER, NOT A GUESS
Most weather apps show a forecast, even for "now". Moonsill checks what's actually happening: nearby airport weather reports, and satellite rain where there's no airport close. If it's dry and hot outside, it's dry and hot on your sill.

GROW A GARDEN THAT FITS YOUR SKY
- 32 plants, each with the weather it loves: hibiscus, jasmine and the waling-waling orchid in the tropics, hydrangea, plum blossom and peony in East Asia, snowdrops, hellebores and forget-me-nots where winters are cold
- Plants never die. A missed week just means a thirsty garden
- 14 visitors come by in the right weather: a frog in heavy rain, a tuko gecko on humid evenings, a kingfisher at dawn after a night of rain, a white moth on still full-moon nights

AN ALMANAC OF YOUR YEAR
Every day is pressed into your almanac: rain days and dry days, the flowers that bloomed, the visitors who came. Press your best blooms into a scrapbook page and share it.

THE SKY OVER YOUR CITY
Moon phases, the next full moon and meteor showers, worked out for where you are. On a full moon, the moonflower opens, if the clouds allow.

YOUR GARDEN ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Widgets for your window, the rain jar, the sky, the plant of the day and more. Or save your window as your wallpaper.

GARDEN WITH FRIENDS
Swap friend codes, send a plant or a note. No chat, no typing, no followers. Your friends never see where you live.

GENTLE BY DESIGN
No ads. No energy timers. No streaks to lose. When there's a storm warning where you are, the garden goes quiet and calm.

FREE TO PLAY, ONE PURCHASE IF YOU LOVE IT
Your sill of four spots, your real weather, gifts from friends and everything you grow are free, always. The full garden opens the shelf and hooks, every plant and visitor, all the widgets and the scrapbook. One purchase, no subscription, nothing else to buy.

PRIVATE
No account and no sign-up. Moonsill uses your city as a 10 km area, never your exact location, and you can just type a city instead.

Weather: airport reports from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center, satellite rain from GSMaP (c)JAXA, and Apple Weather.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-28

Four new flowers
The waling-waling, the Philippines' queen of orchids, in its own teak basket. The dahlia, the peony and the forget-me-not. Each has the weather it loves, and all four grow in the full garden.

Your window as a wallpaper
Save your garden as it is right now to Photos, then set it as your Lock Screen or Home Screen. Settings › Widgets and wallpaper › Make one. Free for every garden.

Also
• The shelf and hooks your garden has earned now wait on the window.
• The Almanac marks the plants and visitors that come with the full garden.
• Restore purchase has its own row in Settings.
• Fixed: when the sill was full, a free garden was told eight plants fit the window. It's four.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-23

Garden sounds
When it isn’t raining, you’ll hear wind in the leaves, rising and falling with the real wind, and crickets at night. Now and then a quiet tune plays, and it waits if you’re already listening to your own music. Turn either off in Settings › Sound and motion.

Seed Giving, 13–30 November
Moonsill is giving seeds. Open your garden any day from 13 to 30 November to find an envelope from the Moonsill garden, with three seeds your garden hasn’t grown yet. One envelope for every garden, and it waits at your window until you open it.

Also
• A friend’s envelope notification now says what’s inside.
• You can rate Moonsill from Settings › Help.
• Fixed: opening Moonsill from a link while another page was open could leave the garden sitting too low.
