What's New in rootlet
1.1.0
October 15, 2026
New in this version is rootlet Plus. One purchase covers you and your partner, with unlimited daily swipes, 2,000 rarer names with meanings and origins, and head-to-head ranking for your middle-name combos. Get the 9-month pass for the whole pregnancy, or go monthly. Your saved names now come back on a new phone even if you're naming on your own, without a partner. You can also log out from your Profile now, and deleting your account clears everything properly. There's a new switch in Profile, too. Anonymous usage stats help us see how rootlet is used so we can make it better. They never include your names, and you can turn them off anytime. We'd love your feedback at hello@rootletapp.com.
