## What is Napcat?

Meet your new Home Screen buddy.

Catnap is a cosy little pixel pet that lives on your iPhone. Pick from 60+ animals — cats, dogs, foxes, bunnies, birds, pandas, penguins, even sharks — and watch your favourite mooch about, wander, and blink through the day. Give it a tap and it lights up with its own happy reaction.

But the real magic is the WIDGET. Pop your pet on your Home Screen in any size — small, medium, or a full-page portrait — with its name and a genuinely charming animal fact tucked underneath. Dress the background up in a cosy palette, or let "Auto" blend a soft wash of your pet's own colours so it always looks just right.

MAKE IT HOME:
- Pick a cosy pixel room for your pets, or keep the soft sky gradient
- Decorate! Place beds, a cat tree, plants, a scratcher, and toys - drag them anywhere, and they stay put until you say otherwise
- Drop a treat (kibble - or sushi!) and watch everyone mosey over
- Night mode: after dark the lights dim and your pets curl up together, in a bed if you have placed one
- Adopt a reef shark and the whole app becomes its shimmering aquarium - bring a whole school if you like
- Lock Screen Live Activity: a tiny day-or-night scene with your pet, today's fact, and a self-ticking timer (zero battery drama)

PURR-KS:
- 60+ pets across cats, dogs, and a whole menagerie
- A Home Screen widget in three sizes
- Customisable backgrounds (or auto-match your pet)
- A fun fact for every animal
- Adorable pixel art, crisp at every size

One tiny pet. Endless cosy. Say hi to Colin the grey tabby while you're here — he's come a long way (all the way from New Zealand).

Universal Purchase: buy once and Catnap is yours on Mac, too.

### 2/5 — Review

*2026-08-18*

Okay so I downloaded it and I can only get a cat and it walks all over everything, wherever my curser goes and I can’t get rid of it without getting rid of the app, but dollar store kitty does love me, anddd we can flip if by clicking it too much

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you had some issues! Make sure to open Settings from the menu bar to turn cursor follow on/off, and to change any of the 124 pets (or have a bunch on the screen at once!). Thanks for buying the app. I've got an app update coming that'll simplify some of your problems as well (and add a few new pets!).

:)
