## What is CommitCat?

A Cute and Minimal Timer App for Developers!

This is a simple timer app featuring an adorable pixel-art cat that integrates with your latest GitHub commits.

It's super easy to use:
1. Link your GitHub account (optional — you can use the app without linking it)
2. Tap the Start button to begin the timer
3. Code for 30 minutes and push your commit to GitHub
4. Tap the Stop button, and your cat will tell you whether you succeeded — based on whether a commit was made!
5. Gather coins to collect a variety of cats!

(Note: The cat moves every time you press a button!)

If you're looking to build a steady coding habit, give it a try just for fun.

We're always grateful for your feedback.

We will continue improving the app to give developers a small boost of motivation to get started.
