Nightbloom

Nightbloom makes a night sky you can keep. Press and hold, and the flower draws in — the longer you hold, the further its seeds will go. Let go, and they ride out across the dark. Whatever reaches the top of the night stays there as a star. Nothing else is needed to make a picture worth keeping. PICTURES AND VIDEO • Save the sky as a full-resolution picture, exactly as it stands. • Or record six seconds of it moving, so a breath taken while it runs ends up in the file. • Everything you save is kept in the app under Saved, with a preview of each one. • Copy any of them to your gallery, or send it straight to another app — a message, a note, a post — with the system share sheet. MAKING THE SKY • Three fixed breaths — Soft, Steady and Full — or press and hold the sky to gather one of your own. • Join any three stars and the shape names itself. • Fourteen flowers, each a different silhouette in a different colour, so no two skies have to look alike. • Tilt to steer: lean the phone and the seeds get a steady wind to drift on. It is off until you turn it on. QUIET BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No in-app purchases. Nothing to sign up for. It works entirely offline and asks for no network at all. Nothing leaves the app on its own — a picture or a video goes to your gallery, or to another app, only when you say so. Nightbloom is meant for the end of a day: a minute or two, a few breaths, and something to keep at the end of it.

Make a night sky of your own. Save it as a picture or video, then share.
