NotiSprite Got Its Travel Visa 🎉

I am happy to share that NotiSprite has officially been approved by Apple. Your beloved sprite can now travel from macOS to iPhone and iPad.

The same philosophy applies everywhere. No login, no ads, no data collection. It just works.

If you have already purchased sprites on macOS, they can travel freely to iOS and iPadOS. No extra steps are needed. Just tap Restore Purchases in Settings and all your sprites will appear on your mobile devices.

The idea of bringing NotiSprite to iOS started from a user request. They asked if the sprite could come outdoors with them, so it could always be there. I loved that idea and decided to make it happen.

iOS development is very different from macOS. Apps can be suspended or killed by the system, and there is no desktop space for a sprite to wander around. This made the implementation challenging. Instead of copying the macOS experience, I designed NotiSprite for iOS around what the platform does best, using Live Activities, Widgets, and Notifications to keep the sprite present and useful.

This is the first version of NotiSprite for iOS and iPadOS. I will keep improving it day by day, just like on macOS, and it will continue to get better over time.

With iOS and iPadOS now live, the NotiSprite suite is well underway. The next major piece is NotiSprite Creator, where artists and creators will be able to play with their own sprites on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. If creators choose to, they can also team up with us to distribute their sprites worldwide, reaching 174 countries and supporting 12 languages.

There is still a long way to go, but every dream starts with a first step.

Here is the App Store Link.

Enjoy your sprite on your mobile devices.

This release is a small gift to you all.
Merry Christmas 🎄
