Focus app doesn't have to feel cold or boring. When you enter focus mode, a cat appears on the chair keeping you company. With a hand-drawn style and rich colors, Cat On Chair brings you a cozy, aesthetic pomodoro focus experience. The cat isn't only there to "supervise"; they're sharing the moment with you. Stay motivated with gifts and rewards. Complete a session, and your cat will bring you a gift. Fail, and you may be left with a little trash. Gifts can be traded for fish, which unlock furniture and decorations for your cat's room. Seasonal updates bring new gifts, decor, and even more cats to collect. Attention: May cause increased productivity, spontaneous cat adoption urges, and the inexplicable need to explain your work schedule to a digital pet.
