A run-through for grown-ups. Your crew steps aside while you look around and comes straight back when you end it — nothing you do in here is saved.
Keep your crew safe
Acornonauts has no accounts. We never ask for your name or email, never ask anything about your child, and store nothing on our servers.
That's good for your family's privacy — and it means this phone is the only place your acornonauts live. A backup file is how you keep them: save one now and you can bring your crew back on a new phone, or after a clear-out.
How to save it
- Click Save a backup file below.
- It lands in your Downloads folder as acornonauts-backup-<date>.json.
How to bring your crew back
- Click Restore from a backup below.
- Pick acornonauts-backup-<date>.json from your Downloads folder.

Clears every explorer, star, hat and the whole tree — so you can hand a clean app to your child after testing it yourself. Your display and accessibility settings are kept.
Tell us what you think
Acornonauts is a beta, made by one family. If your child loved something, ignored something, or you've an idea for a quest pack, we'd genuinely love to hear it.
You still don't have to tell us anything about yourselves — only what you'd like to.
