Mochi Slow Café is a cozy focus companion. Start a Focus Brew and Mochi Cat gets to work while you concentrate - cooking today’s craving, whisking matcha, and serving it up. Lock your phone and a gentle soundtrack keeps you company. Every session earns coins you can spend on café décor, dishes, and Mochi outfits. Each day Mochi craves a different dish. Cook it while you focus, or treat her with coins, to keep a warm and forgiving care streak. Turn on Deep Brew to block the distracting apps you choose during a session. Level up your matcha rank and discover new places by focusing, never by paying. No punishment and no streak-shaming. Just a calm little café that grows every time you do. Mochi Slow Café Pro is optional. Eligible new subscribers can start a 7-day free trial on either plan, then pay $8.99 per month or $59.99 per year unless canceled. Pro unlocks unlimited Focus Brew, exclusive decor, and travel beyond the home teahouse to explore Japan and Italy. Focus minutes, rank, destination discovery, and venue mastery must still be earned through focus. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in App Store account settings.
