SHIP LOG: Backseat Games · App Store 1.5 · Built with Cursor

Backseat Games 1.5 is live on the App Store — Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas looks you can buy separately, plus Hangman that finally matches the rest of the doodled roadside.

Right after 1.4.0 went live, the next train was seasonal: families should be able to buy a full holiday look before travel. Classic stays free. Each season is its own one-time IAP — preview in the Store, buy once, apply anytime in Settings.

What’s new in 1.5​

• Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas theme packs — home heroes, sky bleeds, seasonal logo beats, critters, and holiday bingo icons
• Each pack is a separate IAP; Classic remains the original road-trip look
• Hangman moved off formula line draws onto doodled sprites, so misses feel playful and the figure can wear the season (hitchhiker, ghost, pilgrim, snowman)

SHIP LOG: Backseat Games · App Store 1.4.0 · 2026-10-16 · Built with Cursor

Backseat Games 1.4 is live on the App Store — two new road-trip games on the host board, Hangman Solo that feels like the rest of the car, and a five-sign hero that finally matches what you can play.

What’s new in 1.4​

• Hangman and Color Catch join License Plates, Sign Game, and Travel Bingo — five games on the roadside signpost
• Hangman Solo with Easy / Medium / Hard from a local word list, cream road-dash letter tiles, and a hitchhiker drawing that grows as you miss
• Host chrome painted so the new games read as real signs, not stickers

The polish pass landed on TestFlight earlier this month (Hangman roadside solo); today that train is on the public App Store.

SHIP LOG: Memento Mori · App Store · 2026-10-01 · Built with Cursor

Memento Mori is live on the App Store — a private life-in-weeks calendar for seeing your 90 years clearly, setting three goals each week, and staying present without handing your data to the cloud.

What it is​

Your life as a grid of 4,680 weeks. The ones you have lived, the one you are in, and the ones still ahead — not to alarm you, to help you choose how to spend this week.

• This Week — three goals: work, friends & family, personal
• Life calendar — mark meaningful weeks, add notes and reflections
• Dreams — a life list you can break into steps
• Memoir — weekly reflections that accumulate as you go
• Home Screen widgets — life progress, goals, and dreams-vs-time without opening the app
• Private by design — data stays on your device; export a backup anytime

Version 1.0 is free — no ads, no IAP.

Why it shipped now​

App Store prep started earlier this summer: Skia calendar, brand-coin widgets, hub pages on Homol Works, then a long stretch of review hardening (widgets, SF Symbols chrome, post-tutorial boot). Today it clears the last gate — it’s actually downloadable.

The Memento Mori home on Homol Works has the screens, the widgets shot, privacy, and support. The App Store listing is where you install it.
