What's New in Catena

1.0.7

November 10, 2026

Give your café a soundtrack. Browse your CDs on the record player, shuffle between tracks you own, and display a favorite on your profile shelf. We also fixed a timer issue: if your Pomodoro reaches the 10-minute overtime limit while you’re away, your selected break now starts when you return. Choose a zero-minute break to go straight to your receipt.

Actually helps

I’m not much of a studier, and I procrastinate a TON, but the cats are so cute that I’m forced to study so I can feed them their favorite foods 😭❤️

Response from developer

Yay! I'm so glad it's working! Our goal is to help build healthy, sustainable study habits while creating a cozier environment to study in!

cute and functional!

this has given me a great motivational kick lately 😽 i love that you can switch between pomodoro or stopwatch modes! the game part reminds me of a cross between “good pizza, great pizza” and “neko atsume” which is a very cozy combo :3

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Our goal was to make the app feel cozy, so I'm really glad you're enjoying it! Stay tuned, we're planning to add even more features to make it even more fun!

Cute and creative app

The app is so cute! I love how the cats are made, and I’m a sucker for games that involve food. Although I wish that we could have the option to pet the cats.

Response from developer

Haha, I'm so glad you like it! 💕 Each of our cats is hand-drawn and animated, with their own unique personality and storyline inspired by Boston! We're definitely hoping to add more ways to interact with the cats in the future, so stay tuned!

Cute! and perfect for ADHD

I have horrible adhd. Studying is HARD for me because I instinctively jump to different ideas or sit and stare at my screen. This gives me motivation! I have really enjoyed it and I hope more people will enjoy it too!

Response from developer

I'm so glad it's helping!! A lot of our team also has ADHD, so the app was really inspired by what we would personally find helpful when studying! I'm so glad you're enjoying it and that it's helping you stay motivated!

So cuteeeeee 💕🐈‍⬛

The app is so cozy and adorable!!!!! I love all the cats, especially Angela and Maple! I can’t figure out Angela’s favorite foods! I excited to see what other cats there will be!

Response from developer

Ahhh thank you so much!! More cats are definitely coming, including some rarer and more unique ones! We actually have at least 20 planned! It just takes a little time since each cat is hand-drawn and animated by our artist, but we're so excited to share them with you!
