Click a ripe crop to harvest it

A tiny farm that grows in your pocket and on your Mac.

Plant crops, build a little town, explore an endless world and go fishing, a few taps on your iPhone or one click at a time next to your work on your Mac. Close it, and your vale keeps growing.

Build a little town.

Villagers move in and pick up jobs. Workshops turn your harvest into bread, jam and cloth, and robot traders pin their orders on the board while market prices rise and fall.

  • 120+ buildings & decorations
  • 41 workshop recipes
  • 16 robot traders

Wander past the clouds.

Send your hero out into a world that never ends. The further you go, the rarer the lands: ancient monuments, caves, locked chests, treasure maps, and lakes full of fish from common to legendary.

  • 20 landscapes
  • 28 kinds of fish
  • 16 relics to find

It keeps growing while you're away.

Close the game for up to a week. When you come back, your vale catches up on everything and tells you what your villagers harvested, made and sold.

  • 7 days of catching up
  • 0 ads or in-app purchases
  • Light on your battery

Come sit by the fire.

Questions.

What is Pocketvale?

Pocketvale is a cozy pixel-art farming and town-building game for the Mac. It plays in a small window in the corner of your screen: plant crops, raise animals, build a little town with villagers, explore an endless world, fish and collect. Every action is a single click, so it fits next to your work.

How much does Pocketvale cost?

Pocketvale is a one-time purchase. On iPhone it is on the App Store at the local price in your country; on the Mac you can buy it on itch.io now, and the Mac App Store version is coming, covered by the same App Store purchase. There are no ads, no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. You buy it once and keep it, with free updates.

How many hours of play are in it?

A lot. A steady player has a little working farm within the first hour, reaches level 10 in about 5 hours, level 20 in about 36 hours and level 30 in about 105 hours of game time. Our own vale reached level 24 after 57 hours (19 hours of play plus 38 hours of growing by itself while closed), and that is only a quarter of the way: there are 100 levels, and the world, the goals and the collections never run out.

Does my farm keep growing when the game is closed?

Yes. When you open Pocketvale again it catches up on everything that happened while you were away, for up to a week, and shows a short summary of what your villagers harvested, made and sold.

Will it slow down my Mac or drain the battery?

No. Pocketvale is a small native Mac app, not a heavy game engine. It uses very little power and draws nothing at all while its window is hidden.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. Pocketvale plays fully offline and your vales are saved on your Mac. Multiplayer only needs your own local network.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. A friend on the same Wi-Fi or local network can join your vale with their own hero and farm alongside you, on iPhone or Mac. One player hosts, the other taps Join a game.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone with iOS 16 or newer, and every Mac with macOS 13 Ventura or newer, with Apple silicon or Intel.

Is Pocketvale suitable for children?

Pocketvale is rated 4+. There are no ads, no purchases inside the game, no accounts and no data collection, and the only chat is between players on the same local network.

Your vale is waiting.
