Limnering

Paint one page a day. By Christmas, you will have a whole illuminated year. Limnering is a quiet, parchment styled daily puzzle that puts you in the seat of a medieval manuscript painter. Each day a fresh hand designed page appears in your studio: a saint's portrait, a giant decorative initial, a bestiary creature, a margin drollery, a biblical scene, or a Lindisfarne style carpet page. Tap a region to fill it with the pigment of your choice. Sign the page into your year long codex. Come back tomorrow for another. NEW IN 3.0 - Undo and redo every stroke. Clearing a page asks first, and Undo brings it back. - Codex backup and restore: save your whole codex (pages, gilding, journal notes, streak, pigments, achievements) to a file you keep. Restoring merges safely and keeps a copy of your codex from before the restore. - Today's Page widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, a Control Center button, and Siri and Shortcuts actions: "Open today's page", "What's today's page", "Open my codex". - An optional daily reminder that stays quiet once today's page is signed. - Reduce motion, a plain reading font and high contrast outlines, and text that follows your system text size. Twelve historical pigments wait in the tray: Lapis lazuli ultramarine, the most expensive medieval pigment, reserved for the Virgin's robe. Vermillion, ground from cinnabar, the bright red of blood and royalty. Gold leaf, beaten foil burnished onto the page for haloes and the figure of Christ. Verdigris, copper acetate, beautiful and corrosive. Malachite, the safe and stable green from copper ore. Indigo, fermented from Indigofera leaves, cheaper than ultramarine. Woad, the European blue, even cheaper. Saffron, hand picked crocus stigmas, used for yellow highlights. Lead white, toxic but bright opaque, the medieval flesh ground. Bone black, charred bones, the scribe's ink and outline color. Madder lake, a cool plant red layered over warmer reds for royal robes. Orpiment, brilliant arsenic yellow, fatal to grind without ventilation. Forty hand designed patterns, grouped into six sections: Eight saint portraits with halo, robe, attribute, and flesh. Six decorative initial letters with knotwork interior and marginal vine. Eight marginalia pages: knight and snail, dancing rabbits, monkey trumpet, owl scribe, ape doctor, fox preaching, hare hunting hound, cockerel joust. Four biblical scenes in silhouette: Nativity, Annunciation, Last Supper, Crucifixion. Six bestiary creatures: unicorn, manticore, basilisk, gryphon, leviathan, pelican. Eight geometric Insular carpet pages: four corners, cross of the scribe, rosette, checker field, vesica weave, eight fold knot, star of the north, spiral quadrants. A monastic accuracy score quietly rewards you for following the iconographic conventions a medieval illuminator was taught: gold for haloes, ultramarine for Mary, malachite for foliage, lead white for flesh, vermillion for martyr's robes. A daily patron commission asks for one rule in particular. Press and hold gold leaf to burnish it to a mirror finish. Turn on Guided mode for numbered regions when you want to relax. The Scriptorium explains every rule, every pigment, and the source it would have come from. Missed a day? Open it from the Quires calendar and paint it at your own pace. Earn a Scribe's Indulgence every seven pages to protect your streak. Bind your codex as a PDF book, or share a single page as an image. There is no time pressure and no fail state. The soundtrack is generated on device: an organ drone, a lute pluck for each pigment, and a recorder line when you satisfy a rule. Limnering includes 35 achievements, stats with an accuracy heatmap, a sandbox that unlocks every pattern from the first launch, and local SwiftData storage for the codex. Everything is included in one purchase. No subscriptions. No in app purchases. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. No accounts. No third party SDKs.
