About

Mimlo

Features
Read full description

A dog, a cat or a hare. A little home, everyday rituals and a story that grows with you. In Mimlo, adopt a 3D virtual companion and make time for the simple moments you share. YOUR LITTLE FAMILY, UNDER ONE ROOF Start with one companion, then welcome up to three pets into your home through additional adoptions sold separately as in-app purchases. They live together, while each keeps their own name, needs, personality and memories. Choose the companion you want to care for. LITTLE EVERYDAY RITUALS Serve some Mimlo Miam, offer a gentle stroke, play with the ball or make time for rest. Your companion heads to the bowl, takes breaks and responds to your care. The dog and cat lie down to sleep, then wake up to carry on with their little day. A HOME TO MAKE YOUR OWN Choose rugs, beds and food bowls. Three styles are included: First days, The blue hour and Soft earth. Mix individual items and preview your room before keeping your choices. Extra decorations and a larger home are optional in-app purchases. The starter home can accommodate all three companions: you do not need the large home to adopt more pets, and pet adoptions are not included with it. YOUR COMPANION, IN YOUR WORLD Bring your pet into augmented reality, at home or in the park. Place them on a surface, find your angle and take a photo. Keep the moment in your journal, save it to Photos or share it. A LITTLE FRESH AIR TOGETHER Start a walk with your iPhone. With your permission, Mimlo counts steps taken on that outing, without GPS routes or a required goal. Return home to your walk summary and sometimes a little discovery. A GROWING BOND Discover your companion’s personality through affection, play and walks. Your relationship develops through five stages. The album keeps your first meeting, meaningful moments of care, discoveries and the photos you choose to save. A SHARED HOME WITH SOMEONE WHO MATTERS Invite your partner or a friend to care for a companion in a household for two people. Find your shared care, activities, walks and photos you choose to share with the household. Your personal story stays separate. A shared household currently supports one pet. You cannot create one while your personal family includes several companions. A STORY TO COME BACK TO Your progress is saved on your iPhone. Sign in with Apple to enable automatic online backup or save manually, then recover your story on another iPhone. Personal journal photos stay on the device where you saved them. AT YOUR OWN PACE Personal care, decoration and memories remain available offline. Choose your reminders, household notifications, sounds and haptics in settings. Mimlo supports French and English and includes no advertising. In-app purchases are permanent and optional, with no subscription. The second and third companions, the large home and extra decorations are sold separately. Eligible purchases can be restored with the same Apple account. Online features require Internet access and Sign in with Apple; augmented reality requires a compatible iPhone.
