Stillcraft / Apps / Hearthspell
The old master left his tower to you, his apprentice. The tower is your home: every floor is a room, every chore is a spell with its own rhythm. Cast it and the floor shines; forget it and harmless imps move in. Master a spell and its helper wakes up, a broom or a teapot that paces the floor. Mana buys decor, the master writes once a week, and the shopping list becomes a quest for reagents. Cozy pixel art, no streaks to lose, no ads, no account, no internet access.

Eleven kinds of room, each a detailed pixel scene: the kitchen is the Alchemy Lab, the bedroom an Observatory under a domed window, the bathroom the Spring Baths, the hallway the Gate Hall, the balcony a Greenhouse. Rename, reorder and add floors.
45 ready-made chores with sensible intervals, from the dishes every day to the oven once a moon, each with a small incantation, or your own. Freshness fades slowly instead of a checklist that resets every morning.
An overdue spell brings a cheeky imp to its floor. It chews socks and giggles, nothing burns down, and one cast sweeps it out. A dusty floor just waits for you.
17 helpers, from the Broom and the Sponge to the Teapot and the Satchel. Cast a spell five times and its helper wakes and starts pacing its floor, then grows through four levels.
Every cast earns mana for 20 pieces of decor, from a cat to a fireplace. Each week the master asks for the three spells that waited longest, worth double until Sunday, and twelve letters tell the story of his travels.
The shopping list sorted into shop sections with tower names, the section guessed from the name. It learns how often you buy things, suggests what's running low, and market mode is a big one-hand checklist.
| Your room | Tower floor | A few of its spells |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Alchemy Lab | Dishes, counters, the fridge, the oven |
| Living room | Library | Put things back, dust, vacuum, windows |
| Bedroom | Observatory | Make the bed, change the linen, the wardrobe |
| Bathroom | Spring Baths | Sink and mirror, the bath, towels |
| Hallway | Gate Hall | Shoes, sweeping, coats and bags |
| Balcony & plants | Greenhouse | Water the plants, sweep, repot |
| Whole home | Tower Heart | Vacuum everywhere, the bins, the market |

Nothing breaks. There are no streaks to lose. Spells fade, imps move in, and the next cast sweeps them out. The master never scolds.
Yes. Any name, any interval from a day to a year, three levels of effort and the helper it wakes. You can pause a spell while you're away.
This version is one tower on one phone. A shared tower for the whole household is planned.
Settings → Backup saves the whole tower, every cast and the shopping list into one JSON file. Restore it on the new phone.
