Awayling is a focus timer with a pet that grows on the time you spend away from your phone. HOW A SESSION WORKS Pick 15, 25, 45 or 60 minutes, start the session and lock your phone. Come back when the timer ends and the session counts. Your first three finished sessions each day help your pets grow and lift their mood. If you leave the app without locking the phone, the session ends. Awayling knows the phone locked only if it has a passcode. YOUR PETS Your pet hatches from an egg, then grows to young and then grown. Each pet comes in four colors: pick one when it hatches or change it any time. THE COMMONS A new egg comes at 10, 30, 60 and 100 good days, then every 50, and you pick who hatches. Every pet you raise lives in the Commons and keeps growing, and up to five stand on the Home tab. The Commons gains a pond, a tree, a bench and a lantern as good days add up, and your pets write you short letters at set counts. Grass bends in the wind, and awake pets breathe, blink and wander once they are young. About a minute after you open the Commons, touch it or scroll it, the scene settles into a still picture. With Reduce Motion on, it stays still. GOOD DAYS A day with a finished session is a good day. Good days add up and never reset. New habitats open at 3 and 7 good days. The Week tab shows each day, and you can share a weekly card with the pet in front, your finished sessions and an invite link. Awayling times focus sessions while your phone is locked. Your pets and your history are stored on your phone. A daily 8pm reminder is available and stays off until you turn it on. FREE AND KEEPER Free: the Ember species, the Commons, every egg and letter, all four colors, three habitats, 14 days of history, focus sessions, growth and sharing. Awayling Keeper is a one-time purchase. It adds Dewy and the Keeper species added later, plus two more habitats and your full history. Keeper species hatch from your next egg, like every pet.
