Hey, I’m Momo. I’m a capybara who loves boba tea.

You buy a boba tea. You tap it in. Someone comes to visit me.

I live in a small hot spring on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. When you treat yourself to a bubble tea out there, tap it in here — and a new friend might come and sit with me, or something little might turn up for my tea house shelf.

I arrive on November 9. $4.99, bought once.

My onsen

This is my hot spring. Come and sit down.

My onsen is relaxing and calm, and I can share my little world with you on your iPhone, iPad, and your wrist. Come relax with me and enjoy my visiting friends or give me a boba tea to enjoy.

I have many friends and they visit me randomly as they pass through. You unlock friends as you interact and enjoy milk teas in the real world. My friends are all just a little different and unique.

Our weather

I get the same weather you do.

The hot spring at dawn: the sun just up beside the pine on the left, under a violet sky, with long rays of light slanting across the garden, Momo in the water, and a rabbit on the bamboo spout, a red panda on the rim and a raccoon on the grass.
Dawn the low sun’s rays
The hot spring on a clear morning: the sun a little higher on the left, behind the top of the pine, Momo in the water, and a rabbit on the bamboo spout, a red panda on the rim and a raccoon on the grass.
Morning the sun climbing
A clear midday at the hot spring: bright green hills, a blue sky with the sun high above, Momo in the water, and a rabbit on the bamboo spout, a red panda on the rim and a raccoon on the grass.
Midday the sun overhead
The hot spring at dusk, under a violet sky, with the sun setting on the right and its rays falling across the garden, and Momo in the water.
Dusk the sun going down
The hot spring at night: everything cools to deep blue, and the red lanterns glow.

The hot spring in the rain: a low grey sky, rain falling across the garden, and steam rising off the water around Momo.

The hot spring in the snow: the ground white, snow falling and lying on the branches, and Momo keeping warm in the water.

Wind trees, lanterns and petals blown

I really love my onsen, but if you grant me access to your location then I can share the same weather you have in your world! I can really enjoy a soft rain, but also the sound of crickets at night, a rolling thunderstorm or you might even find me bundling up in the cold or to get out of the snow.

The sun walks across my sky all day, with long streaks of sunshine at dawn and dusk. A light shower and a proper storm never look like the same thing, and on a windy day my trees lean, the lanterns swing and the petals blow about. At night everything turns a deep, cool blue, except the lanterns. They keep their red and start to glow.

Put me on your Home Screen and the sky next to your apps is the sky outside your window. I like that very much. It is the nicest way I know to be part of somebody’s day without getting in the way of it.

What I do all day

Mostly, I soak.

A little hot spring, a wooden tub, and a whole afternoon that carries on quite happily whether or not you look in. If you do look in, you can poke us. I am here to exist and be calm, and my world is intentionally whimsical. Nothing comes of it, and that is rather the point.

Leave me a month and nothing will have gone wrong. The water will still be warm, my shelf will still be full, and everyone who came to visit will still be here. I promise.

My tea house

There’s a tea house through the door.

I am a bit of a collector, so entering my tea house shows all of the things you have ever brought me proudly displayed on my shelves — paper lanterns, snacks, small odd treasures. They sit there and they look nice. That is the entire job of them, and I think it is a good job. There is a window in the back wall as well, and it looks out on my real onsen, so if it is raining where you are, you will see it raining through my window too. It is quieter in there, out of the valley, and calmer still. I love my little onsen you know.

Order the same thing twice and you don’t get a duplicate. You get to know whoever turned up a little better instead. There are a handful of us to meet and a shelf's worth of things to find, and more of both later on if you ever want more. There is no hurry at all. Nothing goes anywhere.

Out loud

Or you can just tell me.

Your hands are full of boba, I understand. Say “Tell Momo I had a Thai tea” to Siri and that is it — no phone to take out, and nothing to set up first. Siri says the drink back, so you know I heard it right, and then who came to visit.

You say to Siri: “Tell Momo I had a Thai tea”

Siri answers: Thai tea. Cha arrived.

iPhone

You say to Siri: “I had an ube, Momo”

Siri answers: Taro. Poi arrived.

Apple Watch

It works on your wrist as well. Raise your Apple Watch, say the same thing, and carry on with your tea.

Say it the way you ordered it. An ube counts as Taro, and a plain milk tea is my favourite, Classic Milk Tea.

Nothing decays, nothing expires, and I will never ask

Nothing decays.

Nothing expires.

I will never ask.

There are no streaks to keep up, nothing to grind for, and no reason at all to drink more bubble tea than you were going to anyway. I love a boba tea.

Not for anything, ever. I am a collecting app, not a tracker, not a game you can grind, and not a virtual pet who goes hungry while you are out. I am a capybara. I am extremely relaxed about all of it.

Where to find me

I’m in four places.

Apple TV

Put me on the big screen and leave me be. My onsen gets the sky of a place you pick, and the friends you have met on your iPhone wander down to soak. Nothing to check in there. It is a window onto the garden.
