Inside your Companion

More than one way
to make room.

A question, a canvas, a little movement.
Start with what fits.

Before joining something. An authored What Matters Here question with six choices, an optional timer and a finish action.
Reflect · A short pause, with room to write if you want.
A real Make canvas with a stack of colorful shapes, a color palette and Bring closer and Give space controls.
Make · Color, shape and space. Nothing needs an explanation.
Gold and evergreen seeds with a little space opened through the field. Undo and Reset field remain available.
Move · Sweep, tap or use the buttons. Stop whenever you want.
