Pomoneko is a cat cafe that only opens while you focus. Start a shift, put the phone down, and every focused minute drops a tip in the jar. Walk out mid-shift and the cafe closes early. How a Shift Works Pick a length and start the shift. Lock the phone and leave it alone. The barista keeps the cafe open and pays one tip for every focused minute. Pomoneko is built for people who lose focus, so the cafe gives you a reason to stay at the counter. When the timer reaches zero the shift keeps running and the tips keep coming. The barista yawns every 25 minutes and asks "Still here?". One tap answers. Leave the app in the middle of a shift and the cafe closes early. The tips from that shift are gone. Your cat, your streak, and your total focused time stay. An optional Hardcore setting raises the stakes. It stays off until you turn it on. The Regulars Nine illustrated cats work the cafe. Name your barista. Spend tips to bring a new regular in. Your focused hours raise the cafe level, and every level adds a seat, so more cats sit at the counter. Tea Breaks A tea break is the rest between two shifts. The cat hops on the counter and waits with you. The break ends on time and the next shift starts. Block Apps Choose the apps that pull you away. They stay shut while a shift runs. The choice never leaves your phone. On Your Lock Screen A Live Activity shows the shift on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Home Screen widgets show the timer and the tip jar. A Control Center button opens the cafe. App Shortcuts start a shift by voice. Share a Shift At the end of a shift you can share one recap card: your cat, the focused minutes, and the streak. The card carries an invite code for a friend. No account and no friend list.
