0.3.3 Sequoia Desktop: AutoUpdates, New themes & Backgrounds
Full Changelog: 0.3.2...0.3.3
What's new in [0.3.3]
More beautiful. More personal.
Cultiva now automatically keeps itself up to date, so you always have the latest experience. And with new themes and animated backgrounds, your garden feels more yours than ever.
Stay current. Effortlessly.
Updates happen in the background. When a new version is ready, Cultiva lets you know — one click and you're back to growing.
Fresh looks for your garden.
Four new themes — Frost, Cedar, Dusk, and Meadow — give your space a whole new feel. Pair them with two new animated backgrounds: gentle snowfall and dancing fireflies.
Refined everywhere.
We've polished the details throughout — from avatar display to release notes that load right in Settings.
Available now for Windows.
