## What is Motes?

Motes is a small toy made of light, and a new one appears every day.

Each day brings one field of five thousand glowing motes, and everyone in the world gets the same one. Its colors, its currents, its music and its secret all come from the date. Tomorrow it will be different.

There is nothing to learn and nothing to set up. Open the app and you are already inside.

• Tap, and the motes lean toward your finger with a soft pluck.
• Drag to stir the current. The sound swells and climbs as you move faster.
• Rest a finger, and the light gathers into a glowing knot beneath it.
• Let go, and everything drifts slowly back into its calm pattern.

Each field also hides one secret. There are no hints and no instructions. If you find it, the field answers you and leaves a strange little fortune.

A tap also brings up a share button for a moment. It turns the last few seconds into a vertical video with its sound and the date. A small number in the corner counts the days in a row you have visited.

Made on your iPhone, as you play
• The sound is generated live and follows your ringer switch
• Gentle haptics follow your touch
• Smooth motion, up to 120 Hz on ProMotion displays

Nothing else
• No account, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases
• No internet connection needed or used
• Your streak stays on your iPhone

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-11-05

Softer, prettier light:
- The field now drifts through slow pools of light and shade, with a gentle glow.
- Dense swirls keep their color instead of turning white.
- Hold to gather the light, then let go: the knot opens slowly, with a soft vibration and two low notes.
- With Reduce Motion on, the field moves more slowly and spins less.
- While you only watch, the field runs at a lower frame rate to save power.

The daily field, its hidden secret and sharing work as before.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-04
