Someone small has moved into your iPhone. Your guest is a thumb-sized traveler with a knit cap, a knapsack and a lantern. For about a week they live in your Home Screen widgets: reading in the attic, cooking in the kitchen, taking baths and sleeping in a matchbox bed, all on their own gentle schedule. Then they have to move on, to someone else's iPhone. A HOUSE MADE OF WIDGETS Each widget is a room. Add a single room, or the whole house as a full-page widget on iOS 27 (or a large widget on iOS 26). Your guest walks between rooms, passing behind your app icons on the way, and the painted rooms change from lamplit evenings to moonlit nights. EVERY TRAVELER IS DIFFERENT Every newborn traveler has a name and a personality of their own. A curious one pops into every room just to see what is going on. If you are their very first host, you choose the coat they will wear to every phone, and any host can give them a scarf for the road. A SMALL WISH EACH DAY Your guest makes one small wish a day: to see the top of the screen, the lights off to look at the stars, a cup to use as a bath. Make it come true and they will thank you for it. KEEPSAKES Show your guest something through the camera: a mug, a bottle cap, a postage stamp, a sock. It is cut out right on your iPhone and becomes furniture in one of the rooms. A mug becomes a bathtub. A stamp becomes a painting. OUT EXPLORING Let your guest out for a walk along the top of your screen. They appear in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen for half an hour, then come home. A Control Center switch turns their lights off at bedtime. A DIARY Every day your guest writes a short diary page about their stay, written on your iPhone. PASS IT ON When the week is up, pack a souvenir in their knapsack, then send a link or show a code. The first person to open it becomes the next host. Friends without the app meet your guest at their door and can install Hitchling to let them in. A PASSPORT AROUND THE WORLD Every phone your guest lives in adds a stamp to their passport. Long after they leave, you get a postcard each time your old guest reaches a new home. FREE TO HOST Hosting is free: the attic, kitchen, washroom and bedroom, the whole house, the Dynamic Island, the lights switch, the diary, daily wishes, three keepsakes per visit, and passing your guest on. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your photos never leave your iPhone. LANTERN CLUB (OPTIONAL) Lantern Club opens three more rooms (the greenhouse, the study and the observatory), unlimited keepsakes, a passport shelf for every guest you have hosted, and lets a new guest arrive right away after a goodbye. Lantern Club is an auto-renewing subscription, weekly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
