What changed
- A gift comes at most every other day, from a friend you did something with that day.
- A friend brings a gift each time it grows closer, and at Very close a memento of its own.
- A gift box in the album keeps gifts that came while the yard was full.
- Closeness grows from play: time with the yard open counts for up to an hour a day.
- A friend fishing on its own calls you when a fish bites; press the float to reel it in.
- Import a pet from a ZIP file, and remove a pet you no longer want from Invite a friend.
- Imported backgrounds and the place, season and weather you picked stay with your data.
- Connect a coding agent in one press from Settings; Qoder and Kimi Code join the list.
- A Claude Code friend waits for you only when Claude asks, and says when a turn fails.
- The chat log keeps up to 500 messages a session, and a friend stays itself in a long chat.
- macOS and Linux only Claude Code and Codex CLI installed with nvm, fnm, Volta and others are found.
- Windows only The Store version opens pet gallery links, and Start at login works.
- Windows only Hooks for Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Cursor run under PowerShell; press Connect again.
