  1. the first question: it's 3pm on a saturday. where are you?

    1

    three silly questions

    a saturday, a snack, a dead phone. no wrong answers.

  2. make your yolkling: pick a look and a colour

    2

    make it yours

    your answers pick a starting look. change the shape and colour until it feels right.

  3. say hi to your little one

    3

    say hi

    name them, and they're yours. there's only one of them.

the flip

you kept a digital pet alive.
this one looks after you.

sleep & steps

he reads them from Apple Health, and nothing else. rest well, take a walk, and he trusts you a little more.

the yolkling app asking to connect Apple Health: your real life earns their trust apple's health permission sheet: yolkling asks to read only sleep and steps

phone down

start a focus session. he rests and glows while you're away, and he's happiest when you do.

focus session: put your phone down, your little guy rests and glows while you're away

check in

tell him how you feel. you get 10 yolks, and he wanders off and comes home with a new friend for you to scratch open.

  1. how you feel
  2. he goes looking
  3. you scratch it
the check-in sheet: how are you feeling? amazing, good, okay, low, tired or rough look what it found: your yolkling comes home holding a face down card to scratch sunny brought this home: a rare snowmallow card, scratched open

steps and sleep are read on your phone and never sent to us. health is optional.

what you get back

show up for yourself.
he pays you back.

01

earn yolks

yolks come from showing up. spend them on hats, colours and his room. you can't buy yolks on their own, you earn them by living.

the shop: colours, outfits and room items, paid for in yolks
02

collect
them

every yolkling you meet goes in your collection. some sets only turn up for a little while, so there's always something new to find.

your collection: species discovered so far, including a limited seasonal set
03

visit
friends

once a day he wanders off and comes home with a postcard. visit your friends' rooms, wave, leave a note, swap a spare hat. no feed, no followers, no likes.

visiting a friend's room: wave, leave a note, swap

touch grass

[ 04 / the twist ]

the only app on earth that wants you
to put your phone down.

scroll all night and he just gets sleepy, and waits for you.
no sickness, no guilt. miss a week and coming back feels like coming home.

your friends' yolklings
come over to play.

gotta hatch 'em

203 species.
yours is just
the first.

what will
you hatch?

every find is a card

scratch the card to see who you got

every find
is a card.

a new species arrives face down. scratch it open, flip it over, watch the foil catch the light. six holo finishes, pearl to aurora, and the card backs give the rarity away before you even turn them.

and the rarest foil in the game is on your own card. it comes from trust, which only grows when you take care of yourself. you cannot buy it.

dress them up

a little shop of hats, rooms and rare colours.

yolks are earned by living: check-ins, focus sessions, steps, sleep, streaks. spend them on the closet and the room. they are never sold on their own.

21 rare colours

solid, gradient and sheen finishes, plus seasonal drops that only show up for a while. preview any of them on your own yolkling before you spend a thing.

88 cosmetics

hats, glasses, scarves and more. try anything on first. the good ones glow with a rarity aura.

little rooms

17 themes and 34 pieces of decor. build a home worth showing off when a friend's yolkling comes round.

got spares? trade them with a friend. both of you say yes, and you see it on your own creature first.

no gacha, no loot boxes, no tricks. yolks are never for sale. the only thing money buys is yolkling+, and it gates nothing.
