About

Mochie Nest

Features
Read full description

Mochie is a small capybara who lives on your phone. He gets hungry, he gets sleepy, he gets happy when someone shows up. You feed him, play with him, and tuck him in. That's it. Ten seconds a day. The part that matters: you don't have to do it alone. A nest holds up to three people — a partner, a sister, your mom, your best friend — and everyone sees the same Mochie. When Maria feeds him at 8 AM, your widget knows by 8:01. Every feed has a name on it. WHAT HE DOES • Twelve moods: hungry, sleeping, playing, loved, missing you, and more • Lives on your lock screen and home screen in five widget sizes • Hatches from an egg on the first feed, grows up after thirty good days (fourteen with company) • Keeps a log of who did what, and a streak for nests that show up every day WHAT WE PROMISE • Care is always free. No energy meter, no coins, no cooldowns. • He never dies, never runs away, never gets sick. One feed fixes anything. • No ads. No tracking. Sign in with Apple, delete your account any time from Mochie's menu. WHAT COSTS MONEY Only the fun stuff: hats, sweaters, a garden or a night-window nest, and gifts for your nestmate's side. Mochie Plus ($4.99/month) unlocks everything for the whole nest — one person pays, everyone gets it. Made in Burbank by one person and a capybara.
