An idle game about watching a cat stroll. Pet it, tap it, maybe find some treasure. There are no missions or deep story. Simply relax and enjoy watching a cat. 【World & How to Play】 In a cute pixel-art world, a cat strolls around while muttering to itself. A free-spirited cat spends its days talking, playing, sleeping, and eating whenever it likes. The cat shows many different expressions. This is a relaxing game where everything is simply watched and enjoyed. Tapping the cat changes its mood, and sometimes treasures are found. Tapping empty spaces can gently guide the cat in that direction. Treasures that are found can be collected, including some rare ones. Stars are also earned when treasures are found. As more stars are collected, the level increases. The chance of finding rare treasures is influenced by mood, stars, and level. Fish and medicine can be bought, and the cat's appearance can also be changed. There are 5 different looks: black, white, tabby, calico, and gray. Giving the cat fish improves its mood. Medicine increases the level, but may worsen the cat's mood. There are 3 different stages: Residential Area, City, and Fairytale World. They become available as progress is made. There is also a small background story— keep watching, and an unexpected truth may be revealed. 【Story】 My name is Sora, meow I just relax here every day, meow 【Recommended For】 Anyone who loves cats and wants to relax while watching over one 【Planning & Development】 ■ Team Moko App https://www.facebook.com/TeamMoko 【Music】 ■Free BGM provided by MOMIZizm MUSiC https://music.storyinvention.com/

About

Lumea

Features
Read full description

While you focus, it adventures. Lumea is an iPhone app that combines a focus timer, focus history, and pet raising. For study, work, and reading: focus on your task while your pet explores, then see what this time brings. ◆ Start focusing at your own pace • Set a 5–120 minute countdown in 5-minute steps, or start counting up without a preset duration • End a count-up session when you’re done; it ends automatically 12 hours after starting. Pausing does not extend that deadline • When leaving Lumea or locking your screen, choose to keep timing or auto-pause. After auto-pausing, return to the app and tap Resume • Track study, work, reading, exercise, or your own custom focus categories • If you end early, completed full focus minutes still count toward stats and base rewards ◆ Every return may bring a new discovery After an adventure, it may return with Outfits, Tools, or Melodies—a small surprise for the journey. Finish a full session to create a saveable, shareable watercolor Moment. ◆ It remembers every focus session A session is recorded after at least one full focus minute. Revisit each record in the Footprints timeline, and use weekly category totals to see where your focused time went. ◆ Make room for focus today Daily Promise is optional. Set a daily goal of 5–120 minutes; after granting access, choose apps or categories to set aside on this device. Selected apps unlock automatically when you reach your goal. • Valid on-device focus minutes from both count-up and countdown sessions count—no need to finish in one sitting • Unlock temporarily when needed, or turn Daily Promise off anytime; no membership required • Your goal and selected apps stay on this device and are never synced Reach your goal at your own pace. ◆ Let focus hatch new pets Completed sessions give your pet XP and add hatching progress to the current egg. Hatch and collect 24 watercolor pets; hatching a pet you already own gives Gleam instead. Steady focus also advances pets, places, collections, and milestones. ◆ Style its adventures, your way Mix keepsakes, outfits, tools, and available badges in any slot—up to 3 per pet for free users or 6 with Membership—and adjust each item's position, size, rotation, and layer order. Lumea has no hunger meter, energy limit, or required daily chores. Taking time away from the app never makes your pet worse or removes progress you already earned. ◆ Apple Health boosts (optional) You can choose to connect Apple Health. If yesterday's steps or last night's sleep meet the goals, the current session receives a boost to pet XP and the current egg's hatching progress. Not granting access does not affect core features or base rewards. ◆ Free features and optional membership Start immediately in Guest mode. Free users can access every core feature. Lumea Membership is an optional monthly auto-renewable subscription that adds 50% to pet XP and hatching progress earned from focus time, a one-time Starisle Cloak welcome outfit per Lumea account, and a member badge. Fixed hatching bonuses are not multiplied. Membership does not change drop rates, pity counters, or the range of free features. Eligible Apple accounts can receive one 7-day free trial. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, the subscription renews automatically. Your Apple account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. A free trial converts to a paid subscription when it ends; cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid a charge. Manage or cancel in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.
