Noonki hands you one small way to make someone's day better, then turns that kindness into a world you can watch grow: a garden by day, a sky full of stars by night. SEEDS BY DAY Seeds are kindnesses you do with your hands. A coffee for the person behind you. A shelf fixed for a neighbor. A thank you that was long overdue. Complete a seed and your garden answers: a new flower, fresh petals, a tree reaching higher. SPARKS BY NIGHT Sparks are the quiet kind, felt more than seen. Listening fully. Letting someone go first. A patient breath instead of a sharp word. Each spark lights a star, and stars gather into constellations named for the person you are becoming: The Listener, The Grateful, The Brave. YOUR NOONKI Your Noonki is a small creature that watches over the garden you grow. You name it, and it answers to that name. It has a birthday, a sign, and opinions about kindness. THE DAILY MOMENT If you say yes, a small message arrives each day, woven from the day's own sky and a real kindness to try. You choose how many a day and the hours they arrive. On a day you have already planted something, it simply says so and lets you rest. It never nags, never counts down, and never mentions your streak. CALM BY DESIGN There is no endless feed and no follower count. Friends are a table, not an audience: a free garden seats three, and Noonki Plus opens the table to everyone. A day away only pauses your streak, and your Noonki helps you mend it with two kindnesses. PRIVATE BY DESIGN You can begin without an account. There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs, and no server of our own. Your practice lives on your phone. Its two iCloud copies open only with your own Apple Account or your recovery key, and your notes, journal and photos are never part of either. Friends you add see the first name you choose, your garden code and color, your week's sun, flowers and streak, and the moments you send them. WIDGETS Keep the streak lantern, the day's seed, tonight's star or the garden's sky on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and follow the day's seeds and sparks in a Live Activity. MADE TO BE READ Noonki is set in its own typeface, made for this app and shaped for legibility: letters that are hard to mistake for one another, generous spacing, and a switch back to familiar lettering for anyone who prefers it. VoiceOver, larger text, reduced motion and higher contrast are supported across the app. WHAT IS FREE Planting, sparks, the streak and its mend, the Daily Moment, widgets, friends, your Noonki and its name are free, and so are three garden beds, three constellations open at a time, the last seven days of the Almanac, and three seats at your table. WHAT NOONKI PLUS ADDS Every garden bed, the whole Almanac, every constellation and the sky editor, the studio, wings, coats and patterns, new weather, pressed flowers, four more widget faces, kindnesses you write yourself, names for your flowers and skies, the seed jar, star readings, weekly reflections, every kindness challenge at once, gentle routines, the Observatory, the dream journal, your month and year written up, and a table with room for everyone. HOW NOONKI PLUS WORKS Noonki Plus is a monthly or yearly plan, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. The price for your country is shown in the app before you buy. When the App Store offers it, a plan begins with a free trial. Plans renew automatically until you cancel in Settings. Some parts of the garden can also be kept on their own, once, for good, from the plans screen or where you meet them. The free garden keeps growing either way.
