Mivello Postcards: Pet Travel

A small tapir lives in a sunlit room on your phone. Pack it a bag — something to eat, something useful, something lucky, or nothing at all — and then close the app. You do not send it off. It decides for itself when to go, and one day it is simply not there. While it is away, you get on with your day. Now and then it sends a moment back from the road: a line about the wind on a ferry deck, a drawing of a dirt track it sat down on. Then it comes home, and it brings one postcard from a real place — a painting of somewhere that actually exists, and a few sentences about the ordinary thing it noticed there. Keep the card. It goes into your album with the place, the date and its own words, and it stays there. WHAT IT IS • One trip, one postcard. No second currency, no second loop. • It travels while the app is closed. Nothing drains while you are away and nothing expires if you do not open it for a week. • No streaks, no daily rewards, no progress bars, no way to fail. A day you skip is just a day you skipped. • Every card you keep is yours for good. The album is never locked and a card is never taken back. • The pictures are painted for this app, by hand, one place at a time. WHAT IT ISN'T • No ads. Not one, anywhere, ever. • No subscription. The whole album, saving cards as pictures and backups are all free. • No account, no sign-in, no friends list, no leaderboard. • No location permission. The app cannot see where you are; the places are fixed artwork that ships inside it. QUIET BY DESIGN At most one notification a day, and only one kind: a quiet note that it is back. Turn that off, or set quiet hours, and the trip still finishes — the letter simply waits for you on the first screen. No reminders. No nudges. Nothing asking you to come back. Tap the animal if you like. It will look up. ALSO INSIDE • An album you can sort and filter, and a journeys shelf that keeps the moments from each road. • Save any card as a picture, to keep or to send to someone. • Write your album to a backup file and read it back on a new phone. • English, 繁體中文 and 简体中文, switchable inside the app. • Two switches for what is collected — usage analytics and crash reports — either of them off at any time, with no effect on the game. It asks for very little of your day. Pack a bag, and see where it went.
