Pypets gives you a tiny pixel pet that studies when you study. Start the focus timer and your pet gets to work beside you. It walks across your Dynamic Island, lives on your Home Screen, and earns XP for every minute you stay on task. Put the phone down, lock in, and watch something small and cute grow because of it. A STUDY BUDDY THAT LIVES ON YOUR PHONE Your pet doesn't stay hidden behind an app icon. While the timer runs, it wanders through your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen as a Live Activity. Between sessions it sits in a Home Screen widget, where you can feed it or start a new session with one tap. EVERY FOCUSED MINUTE IS XP One minute of focus earns one XP. There are no levels to grind and nothing ever resets: your XP is a lifetime total that only goes up. If you stop mid-session, your partial minute carries over, so no effort is wasted. KEEP YOUR STREAK, EARN BONUS XP Focus on any day and your streak starts paying out: 5 bonus XP on day one, plus 5 more for every day you keep it going. Day 10 is worth 50. Miss a day and it starts over, so show up tomorrow. PICK YOUR QUICK, FOCUS OR DEEP MODE Choose a 5-minute sprint, a classic 25-minute focus block, a 50-minute deep-work session, or set your own length. ADOPT UP TO 5 PETS Bunnies, cats, dogs, foxes, frogs, pandas and horses come in 24 colors, including a Magical Horse. Each one has its own pixel animations, moods and little voice lines. Start with a free bunny, cat or dog, then adopt the ones you love. DRESS THEM UP Sunglasses, headphones and a bell collar. Unlock accessories with the XP you earned by focusing, or buy them outright. Bunnies wear them today, and more pets are getting their looks soon. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME WENT Weekly and yearly charts show exactly how much you've focused, so your streak is backed by real numbers instead of vibes. A PET WITH OPINIONS Turn on gentle daily reminders, written with a little attitude. ("Not mad. Just disappointed.") COZY, NOT NOISY No account needed, no ads, no feed, no social pressure, and no third-party trackers. Your data stays on your device and optionally syncs through your own private iCloud. Perfect for studying, homework, exam revision, deep work, reading, or any stretch of time you want to protect. — Pypets is free to download and comes with free pets.
