Roost brings back old school messages with carrier pigeons and snail mail. You send a note, a bird picks it up, and it flies across the world to your friends. No instant delivery. No read receipts ten seconds later. Just a little bird in the air, carrying your words, taking the time it takes.
Watch yours and your friends birds fly in real time around the world. Be in the moment. Send something and go live your day. When your bird lands, it lands.

A whole new look. A lot more under the feathers + any fixes (scratchpad colors, recallable birds, auto-select courier, clutter, and more)
- Classic mode is now available in Settings > Appearance
This is one of our biggest updates yet. We’ve redesigned Roost throughout, introduced new themes, improved battery efficiency, and worked through lots of the little frustrations you’ve helped us find.
• A complete redesign
Explore refreshed Messages, Flock, Rookery, Map, and Profile screens, along with redesigned bird details, shop pages, settings, and more. New layouts and clearer controls make your birds, letters, and friendships easier to keep up with.
• Themes that follow your day
Light mode is here! Choose Light, Night, or your device’s appearance, or let Roost change with your local time. Watch the sky move gradually through dawn, day, dusk, twilight, and night, with softly drifting clouds.
• Battery and performance improvements
We’ve reduced unnecessary loading. We’ve also improved loading and caching, including passport stamps, to make everyday browsing feel smoother.
• Quicker sending and a more organized inbox
Choose a default courier, see which bird will carry your message before sending, and set what happens when your usual courier is away. The refreshed inbox brings waiting activity into focus, adds sorting options, and makes hidden conversations easier to restore.
• A refreshed bird Codex
Explore redesigned collection progress, filters, and field-guide pages, with clearer distinctions between birds you’ve discovered and adopted. New discovery reveals give your collection’s milestones a little more celebration.
• Better protection for unfinished messages
Improved draft recovery helps you pick up where you left off after an interruption, including supported photo and drawing drafts.
• Training fixes that matter
Training eggs are now spent when you press Start, so opening a game to look around won’t cost you an egg. We’ve also improved reward submission and recovery, and corrected daily XP tracking.
• More control over sound and feel
Updated Sound & Haptics settings let you tailor feedback for message sends, bird care, and games. We’ve also refined feedback throughout the app and improved behavior with reduced-motion settings.
Plus fixes and polish across pen pals, Nest invitations, message arrivals, larger text, and navigation.
Thank you for every bug report, suggestion, and bird you’ve sent. You’ve helped shape this update. We’re excited for you to explore it.
