Focus feels easier when someone's waiting for you. Meet Meowchi, a little cat who makes mochi while you focus. Set your timer, get to work, and Meowchi settles in beside you and starts making mochi while you do your thing. Finish your session and the mochi is yours to keep. Spend it on furniture, plants, a warm little lamp — whatever makes the place feel like home. Decorate the room, unlock new spaces, and watch a bare little corner slowly turn into a cozy cat home that's entirely yours. The quiet part? While you're furnishing Meowchi's room, you're building a real focus habit in the background. Your effort stops being invisible. It turns into something you can see, and something you actually get to keep. HOW MEOWCHI WORKS • Set a focus timer for studying, work, reading, drawing, writing, or anything you've been putting off • Turn on Deep Focus to block distracting apps when you need a little extra help staying on track • Pick ambient sounds and music until your focus space feels just right • Complete focus sessions and earn mochi • Trade mochi for furniture and decorate your room however you like • Unlock new spaces as you keep focusing • Check Focus Stats and watch your progress add up KIND BY DESIGN No streaks to guilt-trip you. No wilting plants when you miss a day. A rough day still counts. Five minutes still counts. Meowchi is just happy you showed up. Come back tomorrow, next week, or whenever you're ready. You can always start again at your own pace. Focus should feel like looking after yourself, not punishing yourself. MADE FOR MINDS THAT WANDER Meowchi is ADHD-friendly by design: soft structure, visible rewards, fewer distractions, and a little company while you focus. Made for students, freelancers, remote workers, creatives, and anyone who finds it easier to get things done when someone else is there too. Meowchi's already waiting by the timer. Come make some mochi and build a home together. Make Focus Feel Like Home. Term of Use: https://www.meowchi.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.meowchi.app/privacy
