## What is Pomeow?

Pomeow is a pomodoro timer with a heartbeat.

Start a focus session and a tiny hand-drawn cat keeps you company - on screen, on your Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. Stay with it and the cat purrs along. If a call or another app takes you away, the timer pauses and continues when you return.

Finish the session and it does zoomies.

GENTLE BY DESIGN
No dead trees, no shame. If life interrupts, the timer waits without blame. Give up a session and it just needs a little care - then you both try again.

IT GROWS WITH YOU
Every finished session earns fish. Hit your daily goal to build a streak. Your cat grows from kitten to fully grown, remembers milestones, and brings home little stories from the windowsill.

FREE TO FOCUS
- The complete focus timer and growth journey are free
- No subscriptions, no ads, no analytics and no tracking
- Fish can never be bought - only earned
- Optional one-time cosmetic packs if you'd like to spoil your cat

BUILT FOR PEACE OF MIND
- Focus features work offline; by default, history stays on your device
- Optional private iCloud backup can restore completed history and growth
- No Pomeow account or sign-up is required

FEATURES
- Focus sessions: 15 / 25 / 45 / 60 minutes
- Live Activity companion on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen
