the pets & gifts update ✧
Two weeks, and glow got a whole little zoo (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ Pets that follow your visitors around, a whole new Player Card layout, a big box of new effects, gifts you can send a friend, a brand new pricing page you can try on yourself, a rebuilt League page, and a bunch of tiny fixes nobody asked for but everybody deserved ♡
Pixel pets ✧
Your page can have a pet now. It hops after your visitor's cursor, sits, blinks, naps with little z's when they stop moving, and sends hearts when someone taps it.
- Slime and Ghost are free for everyone. Cat, Bunny, Chick, Fox, Calico, Midnight, Pony, Turtle, Shiba, Axolotl, Penguin, Hamster, Red Panda, Dragon and Capybara come with Glow+.
- Dress them up: a whole wardrobe of hats (witch hat, beanie, headphones, a spinning propeller, a pumpkin...), hat colors and glasses. Point at one and your pet tries it on live before you pick.
- Badge rewards: some rare badges come with their own hat or glasses, like the staff cap, the platinum crown or the gamer headset, and they're yours to wear on any plan.
- Give it a name: it says hi when someone taps it.
- No pet yet? One is waiting on your Overview. One tap and it moves onto your page (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
- Calico just learned to walk properly, four little steps and everything.
Where: dashboard > Design > Effects > Pet.
A big box of effects
- Click bursts when visitors click anywhere on your page.
- Avatar decorations that sit on your picture.
- Hover effects on your links and bio effects that type or float your bio in.
- Trail style: pick your cursor trail's color and length.
- Particles that react: they run from the pointer or drift toward it, plus shooting stars and meteors.
- Night mode: from 8 pm to 6 am in your time zone your page dims and stars come out. Free for everyone ✧
- Secret word: when a visitor types it on your page, confetti rains down. Also free.
- Effect packs: one tap sets a whole matching look.
- Icon effects: a little motion on the round icons of your links: glow, pulse, shimmer, spin, float, pop or rainbow. Glow is free.
- Every picker says what's free and what's Glow+, and free members can try every Glow+ look before deciding. Saving asks first, nothing sneaks onto your page.
Music motion (Glow+): your page moves with your song. Beat pulse, glow, avatar ring, background zoom or color drift, and it now hears the actual kicks of the song, so it hits on the beat instead of just getting louder. Background particles swell on the beat too ♪
Player Card ✧
A brand new layout: your page as a gamer ID card. Your picture, name, badges and bio up top, what you're playing or watching right beside your name, your numbers in one strip (games, hours played, anime, trophies), every account you linked as its own card, and your links as a neat row of tiles at the bottom.
- Tap an account card and it opens a window: your Xbox and PlayStation totals with top games and rarest trophies, your Roblox favorites and creations, your AniList favorites, what you've been watching on Simkl, your TikToks.
- Pick which sections and which account cards show.
- Equalizer bars (Glow+): a strip under your card that dances to your song ♪
Where: dashboard > Design > Layout > Player Card.
What's on my page
One list in Design that hides any block on every layout at once: badges, tags, socials, games, anime, connected accounts, the view counter, local time and more. Every block has its icon, accounts wear their real logos, and a little note tells you when a layout doesn't show something anyway.
The verified tick now sits next to your name on every layout, with its own switch there too.
And it really works everywhere now:
- Hide an account and it's gone for you too, not just for visitors, so what you see on your own page is exactly what everyone else sees.
- Every account shows up: Diary, Locket, Journal, Stickers and Cabinet list every account you linked, Overwatch and RetroAchievements included, and the Player Card got cards for those two as well.
- RetroAchievements sits with your other account icons next to your name, and you can hide it like any other.
- Badges show up on Deck and Journal too, and Locket can show your view count if you switch it on.
Gift Glow+ 🎁
You can treat a friend to Glow+ now. Pick a member, 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, add a note if you want, pay once. The months land on their account and stack on any Glow+ time they already have. Gifts never renew.
- Same price wherever you are: $9 a month, or $90 for a whole year.
- Send it anonymously if you like being mysterious.
- Not into gifts? Turn them off in Settings > profile and privacy.
Where: dashboard > Pricing, in the gift section.
A new pricing page
The pricing page tries Glow+ on you now: your own avatar and name with a Free / Glow+ switch, and a little card to try trails, particles, rings and name styles on yourself before you decide. The plans sit right under it, the Free vs Glow+ table folds out when you want the details, and a few answers live at the bottom.
Glow+ is priced by country too, in your own currency, so it feels fair everywhere.
Your own address
- Your name as a subdomain: name.1w1.moe is free for everyone, and name.otaku.pw, name.kawai.pw, name.blep.pw and friends come with Glow+.
- New Glow+ domains: yandere.one, yandere.best, yandere.world, tsundere.best and tsundere.world.
Your Overview shows one chip per domain family now, with a +N more window for every ending, and the home page lists them the same way.
Where: dashboard Overview, the address switch under your domains.
Your League page, redesigned from scratch
The League page that runs on the L!VE desktop app, the same one that puts your match on your Discord status, got rebuilt from the ground up in glow's own look ✧
- Your League page shows your icon in its level frame, your title and tokens, your rank, honor, mastery score and challenge crystals, your top 8 masteries and your last 6 matches, all in your page's colors.
- Your lobby, queue, match found and champion select got a full makeover too: party banners with everyone's banner art and level frame, picks wearing their skins, a timer bar and lane icons.
- The League card on your profile got the same glow-up.
- Hide my name keeps your League card and only hides your summoner name.
L!VE
- glow.moe/yourname/live is one page for everything you're doing right now: the main game or show big, everything else beside it. Every live chip on your profile opens it.
- Roblox without the app: link your Roblox account and the game you're in shows on your page and lights up your L!VE pill. Don't want that? There's a Show my Roblox game switch on the L!VE page.
- The L!VE list shows everything someone is doing at once: the game first, then a line for the song, manga or anime running alongside it. Steam and Roblox cards name the game ("Playing Garry's Mod") instead of just the platform.
- Anime, manga and Roblox fill the screen on your live page, with what else is live in a rail beside them. Tap any card there and it opens right on the page.
- Songs show the real logo of where they play: Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, SoundCloud.
Discord
- The Discord card says last seen 3 hours ago while you're offline (you need to be in our Discord server for this one).
- If a Discord invite link on your page expires, you get a heads-up so you can swap in a fresh one.
- glow.moe/discord takes you straight to our server ♡
More languages
Polish, Italian, Dutch, Hebrew, Arabic and Thai joined the language menu.
Spotted a weird translation? There's a report a mistake link right in the language menu now.
Everything else
Guided setup: new members get a short walk-through (you, your accounts, your links, your page is live) with a live preview.
Two-factor sign-in for everyone, with recovery codes. Settings > security.
Deep Dive analytics for Glow+: a weekday by hour heatmap, spikes, click rate by source, country and device, and what visitors open on your page.
Verified creators got two goodies: a Cosplay card in Extras (photos, photographer credits, your next cosplay, cons and commission status, plus an Instagram-ready image; it opens for everyone later on) and early access to the design studio (on a computer).
Badges: the Supporter badge now comes and goes with Glow+ right away, and Beta Star is now Beta Tester.
Achievements search: Favorites has one search box for the achievements you show and the ones you can add.
Support me lives in one place: inside your page or in the bottom-left corner, your pick.
News and events emails are opt-in: an unticked box when you sign up, and a switch in Settings anytime.
Sign-up is a step shorter, and a Discord sign-up from a friend's invite link counts as their invite now.
Comments from someone with the Spin ring get a round avatar that spins with it ♡
Share cards keep the glow logo in the corner, minus the white sticker behind it.
We said goodbye to three lab layouts (Cozy Room, TCG Card and Visual Novel and GlowOS).
Fixes
Discord sign-in works again after Discord changed something on their side.
Xbox games and achievements show right after you connect, not days later, and a connection that comes up empty retries by itself.
iPhone with Safari 26: the toolbar strip matches your page instead of turning black.
Roblox cards say when Roblox hide your avatar, and their stats stop squishing in narrow columns.
Social icons on Deck always stay on one line, shrinking together to fit.
A private Steam library tells you on your page how to fix it, instead of just showing nothing.
TikTok photo slideshows show their covers again.
Music effects are much lighter on your computer, pages download less, and the dashboard rests in background tabs.
That's the fortnight!! Something not showing up? Ping us in Support, or come say hi in our Discord. And keep an eye out on October 24, something spooky is flying in 🦇✧
