## What is PurrNest?

Meet PurrNest, a gentle focus companion for iPhone.

Build calmer mornings, start a quiet focus session beside your cozy cat, and take a tiny reset whenever you need one. There are no streak penalties, failing scores, or consequences for your pet.

REPEATING ALARMS, CLEAR EXCEPTIONS
• Create one Regular alarm with one time and any combination of Mon–Sun
• See the next seven actual mornings as a preview, including every time that will ring
• Change or skip only one date without changing future repeats, or edit all selected weekdays together
• Temporarily turn a Regular alarm off without deleting it
• Lifetime Premium adds multiple Regular alarms, short labels, Vacation Mode, and up to eight different times on one date
• Vacation Mode can begin on a future date and takes priority over date exceptions and repeating alarms
• On iOS 26 or later, AlarmKit provides system alarms, Stop, Snooze, Lock Screen, StandBy, and Dynamic Island support
• Choose a progressive PurrNest sound or Apple’s system default sound

FOCUS YOUR WAY
• Choose 15, 25, 45, or 90 minutes, or any duration from 5 to 120 minutes
• Pause, resume, reset, or end whenever you need; growth XP is added only when the timer completes
• Keep session status close with local notifications and Live Activities when allowed and supported
• Review completed focus history and gentle growth in Journey

PHOTO PUZZLES & MATERIAL MINI-GAMES
• Turn any of 32 photo backgrounds into a 12-, 24-, or 48-piece puzzle
• Pause at any time and continue after restarting; only active play time counts
• Pieces move freely and snap only when close to the correct position
• Finish faster than your previous attempt on the same photo and difficulty to receive a gentle “Great job!”
• Explore 10 touch-based material mini-games spanning fluid, sand, slime, fog, particles, beads, wax, zen patterns, mechanics, and silk
• Your cat watches from nearby; tap the cat for a response
• Choose from 32 photo scenes, or optionally match scenes to local time and weather
• Optionally connect today’s Apple Health steps for local pet growth

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, ads, developer analytics, or developer server
• Core focus sessions and progress stay on your iPhone
• Optional gaze interaction processes front-camera frames on device and never records, saves, or uploads them
• Optional Automatic scenes use one approximate-location reading for each Apple Weather attempt and never save your coordinates

FREE CORE, ONE OPTIONAL UPGRADE
The complete focus timer, one Regular alarm repeating across any selected weekdays, single-date changes, all eight bundled alarm sounds plus Apple’s System Default, 5/10/15-minute Snooze, wake-up cat actions, Garden Green, two photo backgrounds with Photo Puzzles, and three material mini-games are included. Lifetime Premium is one non-consumable purchase that unlocks multiple labeled Regular alarms, up to eight additional named Morning plans, Vacation Mode with a selectable future start date, up to eight different alarm times on one date, 7 premium material mini-games, 30 premium photo backgrounds for scenes and puzzles, six current premium cat actions, four color presets, and a custom palette.
