Grow Your Cat is a simple but highly customizable Pomodoro timer. Each time you finish a session, you get a cute cat to add to your collection. Make it yours: • Free-form timer by default — turn on as much of the Pomodoro method as you like (breaks, focus intentions, mandatory breaks). • A gentle stats screen with streaks, charts, and a breakdown by task. • Your collection syncs across your Apple devices via your own private iCloud. It's 100% free, works without an internet connection, and has no ads or tracking. Whether you're studying, working, or just staying off your phone for twenty-five minutes, Grow Your Cat gives you a small, warm reason to focus.
