## What is NekoWalk?

Walk to make a cat happy.
Every step you take today turns into "paw coins" you can spend on food and toys for your cat.
And on the days you can't walk? That's okay. Your cat will be waiting in its usual spot.

YOUR DAILY NEKOWALK
- Steps from Apple Health automatically become coins (100 steps = 1 coin. As much as you walk — no daily limit)
- Spend coins on food, toys, furniture, and room themes
- 100 coat colors and 6 personalities that change how your cat behaves and what it asks for
- Adopt up to 3 cats
- On adoption day you call out a name and say hello for the first time — the day they arrived stays in their record

GETTING TO KNOW THEM
- A favorite food, a favorite game, the time of day they usually turn up, little quirks
- Living together, these things slowly come into view
- Once you're close, your cat starts bringing you things it found lying around (300 kinds in all)
- Tap a picture in the collection or the shop to see it larger

FOR THE DAYS YOU CAN'T KEEP UP
- Your cat never gets sick, and never leaves
- Free "emergency food" keeps your cat fed while you're away
- One rest day every week. Resting never costs you anything
- Come back after a while and you're greeted with "welcome home" — never a word of blame

HEALTH, KEPT GENTLE
- Look back on your steps and your weight in the same place, side by side
- A quiet weekly report arrives every Sunday
- Weight tracking is optional and can be hidden completely
- Whether the number goes up or down, it's received the same way — no reward is ever conditioned on losing weight
- Step goals adjust in small weekly increments, at a pace that lasts

ABOUT PURCHASES & ADS (THE HONEST VERSION)
- Coins can never be bought with money
- There is no gacha
- Everything essential — feeding, cleaning, cuddling — stays free forever
- Limited cats and limited themes are nice-to-haves, never must-haves
- "Gift Delivery": watch an optional video ad to receive emergency food, a treat, or a trinket for your cat (up to 5 times a day)

PRIVACY
- We read only your step count from Apple Health
- Steps are processed entirely on your device and never sent anywhere

Tomorrow, how about a short walk with your cat?

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.0 — 2026-08-24

v1.8 is about how the app feels and sounds.

Haptics
- Your phone answers when you pet your cat, collect coins, or find a treasure
- Gentle for the cat's replies, firm for your own achievements
- Turn it off in Settings

Sound
- Meows, sound effects, and quiet background music
- Each cat has its own pitch of voice
- Off by default. Turn each one on separately in Settings

Easier to see and read
- The screen no longer breaks at large text sizes
- Motion is reduced when Reduce Motion is on
- VoiceOver now describes what's happening in the room
- Hard-to-read colors have been measured and fixed

More cats, more things to see
- 100 cats became 120. All 20 new ones can be met by walking
- 55 gestures became 114: kotatsu, hammocks, fence walks, and more
- 30 expressions became 36. How your cat answers your petting changes as it warms to you
- 300 treasures became 360
- New things to wear, including tail ribbons and belt pouches
- Room costs revised: more cats no longer means more walking to house them all

Fixes
- Opening a notification could crash the app
- Some shop items showed no picture
- Accessories sometimes could not be taken off
- Faces were misplaced in a few gestures

Days without walking are fine. Your cat is waiting in the usual spot.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-22

NekoWalk v1.7 is the one where the cats get livelier.

Cats have faces now
Happy, sleepy, sulking. 30 expressions in all.
- 30 different faces
- The expression changes while they walk and while they eat
- Give a cat the food it loves, or open the app after a while away, and its face answers you

Rooms in your home
- You can add rooms now, from Redecorate
- Put down a Cat Tower or a shelf and cats can settle up on top of it
- Cats move between rooms on their own, so when you open the app after a while, you find one somewhere

No more limit on how many cats
- You can welcome as many as you like
- Welcoming one costs less than before

Coins, reworked
- No limit on steps any more. Everything you walk turns into coins
- Watch one ad and coins are doubled for an hour
- Coin Boost is now 5x step coins for one day

Collection
- Neko / Behaviours / Treasures / Records now switch as tabs
- Tap a picture to see it bigger

Fixes
- The widget now shows your own cat along with your steps
- Fixed names in the Behaviour Collection being hard to read in dark places
- Treasures now have a set number to find each day. Asking a cat to go and look, with an ad, is still available every day

More fixes
- Care tools other than cat litter and the brush can now actually be used
- The Litter Box moved to Furniture. Leave one out and your cat stays clean longer
- Press and hold a care button to choose which item to use
- Fixed the coin amount shown on Collect not matching what you actually received

And on the days you can't walk? That's okay. Your cat will be waiting in its usual spot.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-18

NekoWalk v1.6 is the one where the day your cat arrives became something you can watch.

The day your cat arrives
Now you get to see the moment a new cat comes home.
- It walks in from off the edge of the screen
- You call its name, and it looks your way
- The date it arrived stays with you

Your journey so far
Open it from Health.
- Steps and weight, lined up along the same dates
- The day a cat came home is marked with a vertical line
- Switch between 1 month / 3 months / All

Show off your cat
You can now choose what to show.
- My Cat / Journey / Treasures
- It's tall now, so it sits in Stories just as it is
- You can hand it straight to Instagram Stories

Tap to see it bigger
Tap a picture in the catalog or the shop and it opens up large.
- You can read about the cat, the item, or the treasure
- For a cat living with you, the things you've come to learn show up too
- It's a separate place from adopting or buying, so just looking is fine
- Cats you haven't met yet stay as ???

Special cats
- All 8 limited cats can now be welcomed with coins you earned by walking
- Even if you miss the season, you can still meet them later

Fixes
- Fixed a rare case where a name changed in Settings went back to the old one
- A newly welcomed cat starts moving about a little sooner

And on the days you can't walk? That's okay. Your cat will be waiting in its usual spot.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-17

NekoWalk v1.5 brings your cat a little closer to being your own cat.

Getting to know this cat
- Favorite Food — give your cat what it loves and it comes running
- Favorite Toy — it gets completely absorbed
- Usual Time, and its Quirk
What you learn stays in Settings, under My Cat.
Even if you can't walk for a while, none of it goes away.

Treasures
- There are now 300 kinds in all
- Once you've collected the two ordinary ones, something unusual mixes in now and then
- Hats and headwear now sit properly, whatever pose your cat is in

Knowing what's new
- When something new arrives, a number appears on the Collection tab
- New things are marked NEW (the mark goes away once you've had a look)
- The tab also shows you when coins are ready to collect, or the chest is ready to open

Fixes
- You can now change your cat's name in Settings, under My Cat
- Your second and third cats show up in Settings as well
- Editing a name or a weight no longer means deleting it one character at a time
- Sharing now includes a link to the app

And on the days you can't walk? That's okay. Your cat will be waiting in its usual spot.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-17

NekoWalk v1.4 adds something that stays with you after the walk.

Treasures
As your bond grows, your cat brings you things it finds nearby.
Plastic bags, bits of string, pinecones, rubber bands.
You can't sell them and you can't use them. They just line up in the Collection.
Two per cat, 200 in all. You can look up which cat brings what ahead of time in the Treasure Collection.
The first arrives at Bond level 3, the second at level 5.
And if you'd rather not wait, watch a video and ask your cat to have a look around.

Health tab
- Your last two weeks of steps are now a graph. Green means the goal was met; rest days stay as they are
- Your cat adds a quiet word about how the day went. It changes with the cat and the moment
- Keep noting your weight and something may turn up before long
  (Up or down makes no difference. All it looks at is that you kept noting it)

Languages
NekoWalk now speaks Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, German, French and Spanish.
Everything in the app and in the store has been translated.

And on the days you can't walk? That's okay. Your cat will be waiting in its usual spot.
