Task Cat

Read full description

Make room for a little focus, with cats for company. Task Cat is a cozy focus timer for study, work, and reading. Choose one thing to work on, set your time, and settle into a hand-drawn cat café. A small session is a good place to start. FOCUS AT YOUR PACE • Set a session from 5 to 90 minutes, with pause and resume. • Take a 5-minute break after a completed session, then start another when you are ready. • Choose Study, Work, Reading, or another activity and set a daily time goal. SEE YOUR SMALL STEPS ADD UP • Look back at daily records, weekly and monthly charts, and time by activity. • Follow your progress on a paw-print calendar and see your completed-session streak. • Keep the time you worked, even when you finish a session early. YOUR QUIET CAT COMPANY • Meet three café cats and occasional visitors. • Watch them stretch, groom, play, and find a cozy place to nap. • Get closer with the in-app camera, save favorite moments to your journal, and share a café photo. • Bring cat widgets to your Home Screen. A CAFÉ WITH YOUR OWN LITTLE TOUCHES Use coins for toys, food, treats, beds, and cushions. Shop items are consumable: each play or feeding uses one item. Placing a bed or cushion uses one from your inventory; it stays until you remove or replace it. Moving it costs nothing extra. Removed or replaced furniture does not return to your inventory. You can try furniture before buying it for free. The basic timer, café, and progress tracking are free. Every 240 minutes of completed focus sessions earns 1 coin, with time carried over between sessions. Breaks, paused time, and sessions ended early do not earn coins. Optional in-app purchases add 1, 3, or 8 coins. These are consumable purchases, not subscriptions. Coins do not expire. No account registration or ads. Records, photos, coins, and items are stored on your device. There is no account sync or purchase-history restoration of your coin balance after reinstalling the app or changing devices. Start with one small session. Your café companions are waiting.

Both are free to download. Meow Planner sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Task Cat sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
