■ Thanksgiving gifts (until November 26, 2026) 100 people have now found modakbul. To say thank you, we've set small gifts by your fire. - Marshmallow skewer: for everyone who installed modakbul by November 9, to celebrate our first 100. - Pinecone turkey: for everyone who installs by Thanksgiving, November 26. Tap it and it clucks. From version 1.3.9, light the fire to find them. Place them or put them away anytime from Decor at the top of the screen. Dates are in Korea time (KST). A quiet campfire, at the end of your day. modakbul is a small campfire that lives in your phone. A real-time 3D flame and the crackle of burning wood give you five quiet minutes before sleep. ■ Burn what hurt Write down the words you couldn't say to anyone — the sentence that keeps circling in your head. No spelling, no logic, no manners required. Fire doesn't judge. Tap "Burn it" and the sheet you wrote on flies to the campfire. It rests on the logs, bends around the wood, and slowly burns away. What you burn is kept nowhere. Not on a server, not even on your phone. When it's gone, we breathe together. In — hold — slowly out. ■ Hang the good memories by the fire Keep a moment that was okay, however small, and it becomes a polaroid. Add a photo, or draw something by hand. Three favorites can hang by the fire, swaying in the firelight every time you open the app. Pull one out at random, or find a day again on the calendar. ■ Just one thing today On days when you can't do anything, we suggest one very small thing. "Drink a glass of water, slowly." "Open a window and take three deep breaths." Tap that you did it — or pass. Passing is a choice too. ■ Good moments to light it - Late at night, when your thoughts won't settle - As background sound while you study or work - Any time your mind is loud and you need to sit down ■ A quiet app - No accounts, no sign-in - No ads - Everything you write stays on your device — turn on notifications and Google handles only a device token to deliver them - On iOS, the app checks public App Store version information to show available updates - Choose Live or Flipbook and your preferred flame style However today went, the fire burns without asking. Come sit for a while.
