It's 11 PM. The room is dark. You set your phone on the nightstand, tap the screen, and a fire begins to glow — tiny embers first, then rising flames, flickering across a grid of luminous dots like a miniature LED fireplace. Up close, you see the individual dots. From across the room, it's indistinguishable from a real flame. Blow to Disturb Lean in and blow. The microphone picks up your breath and the flame bends, flickers wildly, dims toward extinction — then slowly, gently recovers. It feels alive. Touch to Push Drag your finger through the flame. It parts like water, leaving a dark trail that fills back in as the fire reclaims its space. The embers at the base flare bright where you touch, like poking hot coals with a stick. Shake to Storm Give your phone a shake. The flame erupts into chaos — violent gusts tear through it, the fire scatters and fights to survive. Stop shaking and watch it slowly find its calm again. Flip to Suffocate Turn your phone face-down. The fire senses it's been cut off from air and gradually chokes out, dimming to nothing. Flip it back, and the flame reignites from the embers. Five Color Themes Classic warm orange. Eerie green. Deep purple. Cool cyan. And a stunning rainbow mode where the flame shifts through the entire spectrum from left to right — even the embers glow in matching hues. Tuned to Your Taste Adjust flame speed from a slow, meditative sway to a lively crackle. Set the height from a subtle glow to towering flames that climb past the top of your screen. Choose your LED dot size — small and dense for detail, large and bold for that chunky pixel-art look. Real Fireplace Sound A warm, crackling fire audio loop plays in the background, completing the illusion. Toggle it off for silent ambiance. Your Settings, Everywhere All preferences sync to iCloud. Uninstall, reinstall, switch devices — your fire is exactly how you left it. No ads. No subscriptions. No data collection. Just fire. Light it up. Breathe. Let the world slow down.
