A living thing you grow with your hands.

Hyperbloom is a generative light-garden for iPhone. Touch the dark and a seed unfurls — tendrils of magenta, violet and cyan branching, drifting, tangling into constellations. There's no score, no goal, no winning. You tend it, you watch it breathe, and it slowly forgets you. A toy made for the spaces between things.

A dense Hyperbloom garden — magenta tendrils tangled with violet

// how it grows

Three gestures. Infinite gardens.

Everything in Hyperbloom comes from your touch. No menus to learn — just your fingertip and the dark.

tap — plant a seed
Drop a point of light. Each one sprouts and branches on its own.
drag — bend the light
Pull a current through the garden and steer how the vines flow.
hold — charge a nova
Press and wait. Light gathers, then bursts into a bloom of spores.

Seven moods. Seven gardens.

Every mood re-tunes the garden — a musical scale and a palette of light, chosen together. Tap the ◐ button and the same touches grow something entirely new: pastels that ring in Lydian, embers that brood in Locrian, deep-sea blues that drift in Phrygian. Your mood is remembered next time you return, and when you switch mid-garden, nothing is erased — the old light simply dissolves while the new mood grows through it.

Questions & help

A few things people ask. If your question isn't here, write to us — a real person reads every message.

What exactly is Hyperbloom?+
It's a generative art toy — a "light garden" you grow with your fingertips. There's no goal or score. You touch the screen, light blooms and branches, and you tend it however you like. Think of it as something to play with while your mind wanders, not a game to beat.
How do I play it?+
Three gestures: tap to plant a seed, drag to bend the flow of light, and hold to charge and release a "nova" burst. Combine them freely — every garden grows differently. Tap the reset control any time to clear the screen and start fresh.
What are Moods?+
New in 1.1 — Moods re-tune the whole garden at once: the musical scale the touches play in and the colors the light grows in. Tap the ◐ button to choose from seven, from pastel Lydian to ember-dark Locrian. Hyperbloom remembers your mood between visits, and switching never erases a garden — the old light fades on its own while new growth takes the new mood.
Is there sound? Can I mute it?+
Yes — Hyperbloom generates a soft, responsive soundscape as the garden grows, and it pairs beautifully with headphones. Audio only starts after your first touch (never on its own), and there's a mute toggle if you'd rather grow your garden in silence. Your phone's silent switch is respected too.
What do I need to run it?+
A recent iPhone running an up-to-date version of iOS. Hyperbloom uses Metal for its real-time visuals, so a current device gives the smoothest, brightest bloom. Exact requirements will be listed on the App Store page at launch.
It's running slowly or not the way I expect — help?+
First, fully close and reopen the app, and make sure iOS is up to date. Very dense gardens with thousands of tendrils ask a lot of the GPU — a quick reset thins things out and restores the frame rate. If something still seems wrong, email us with your iPhone model and iOS version and we'll dig in.
