About the Game
What is Manu Idle?
Manu Idle is a peaceful idle RPG for Apple devices. Your character grows stronger automatically — even while you sleep. It features deep RPG systems, meaningful offline progression, and a strict privacy-first design with zero tracking.
What platforms is it available on?
Manu Idle is built for the Apple ecosystem: iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your progress syncs seamlessly across all your Apple devices via CloudKit.
Is Manu Idle free to play?
Pricing details will be announced closer to launch. The game has no ads, no in-app purchases that let you pay-to-skip content, and no manipulative monetization mechanics.
When does Manu Idle launch?
I'm targeting a summer 2026 launch. The game is currently in alpha testing through Discord. Join to get TestFlight access and help shape the final game.
Gameplay
How does offline progression work?
Your character continues to grow while the app is closed. When you return, you'll see a summary of skills trained, resources gathered, and milestones reached. Offline progression runs for up to 24 hours at a time — open the app once a day to collect your progress and start the next cycle.
What RPG systems does the game have?
Manu Idle features character customization, deep skill progression, equipment, and specialization paths that meaningfully affect both active and offline gameplay. Your build choices matter.
Are there social or multiplayer features?
Optional leaderboards and leagues are in development — you can opt into them. Scores are shared only if you explicitly choose to participate. Full control stays with you. Check the roadmap for timing.
Privacy & Data
What data does Manu Idle collect?
Effectively none. Manu Idle uses zero analytics, zero tracking, and zero third-party libraries. Your game data is stored in your personal iCloud account via CloudKit, encrypted end-to-end by Apple. I cannot access it. Read the full privacy policy for details.
How does cloud sync work?
Sync is powered by Apple's CloudKit framework. Your game data lives in your private iCloud database and syncs automatically across your Apple devices. No accounts to create, no passwords to remember — just your Apple ID.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can manage or delete your game data anytime through your device's iCloud settings. Since we don't store anything on our servers, there's nothing to request deletion of on our end.
