Sometimes, even simple things can feel strangely hard to start. Cleaning your room. Replying to a message. Going to the gym. Starting the work you’ve been avoiding. PurrGo is made for that stuck moment. Tell PurrGo what’s on your mind, find one small step you can do right now, and move forward at your own pace—with a little cat by your side. 【AI TASK BREAKDOWN】 Turn overwhelming tasks or messy thoughts into clear, actionable steps. Check off one step at a time, edit them when plans change, and make the next move feel easier. 【FOCUS WITH YOUR CAT】 Choose a focus session that feels manageable and let your cat quietly keep you company. You can also invite a buddy to focus alongside you when starting alone feels difficult. 【TURN PROGRESS INTO CARE】 Complete tasks and focus sessions to bring home fish treats. Feed your cat, collect supplies, and decorate a cozy home—so the things you do in real life become part of the world you build together. 【GROW TOGETHER, WITHOUT THE PRESSURE】 Spend time with your cat and grow your bond over time. No streaks. No progress decay. No punishment for taking a break. Step away for a day—or longer—and everything you’ve built will still be waiting when you come back. 【KEEP YOUR MEMORIES】 Meaningful moments like your first task, first focus session, and other milestones are saved in your memory album. You can also turn them into cards to keep or share. 【PURRGO MAY BE FOR YOU IF YOU】 • Often know what you need to do, but struggle to start • Feel overwhelmed by large or unclear tasks • Have ADHD or experience executive function difficulties • Prefer flexible tools over rigid habit trackers and streaks • Want a gentle companion while you get things done You don’t have to do everything today.

Nela

Study with a little friend who grows with every session. Nela is a focus timer with a study pet. Start a session, put your phone down, and your little red panda sits down to study with you. When the timer ends, you earn coins, your bond grows, and sometimes your pet finds something in the world you explore together. HOW IT WORKS • Start focus in one tap: Pomodoro, a timer or a stopwatch, with pause. • Pick a subject and, if you like, a task from your to-do list. • Put your phone down. The timer keeps running on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, even when you leave the app. • When it ends, your pet asks whether you finished your task, and you collect your rewards. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS, IF YOU WANT Turn on Block distracting apps for a session and Nela uses Apple's Screen Time to keep the apps you choose away until it ends. It's a switch, never a requirement. SEE YOUR PROGRESS • A daily goal, with today's focus time on Home and in a widget. • Your days in a row, with a flame. Missing a day never takes away anything you've earned. • Stats by day, week and subject, with your best day. • Study quests with coins to claim: finish 3 sessions today, focus 2 hours this week, study 7 days in a row. • Routines with gentle reminders for the study days you plan. A PET AND A WORLD THAT GROW • Every session, your pet studies somewhere in its world, and each subject sends it to a different kind of place. • Collect postcards and discoveries, and open new parts of the map. • Spend coins in the shop on furniture, room styles and outfits, including a study corner. • Ambient sounds for your sessions: rain for everyone, and campfire, breeze, night and lo-fi with Nela Plus. KIND BY DESIGN Your pet never gets sick or runs away. Ending a session early is allowed, and the time you focused still counts. No ads. NELA PLUS, IF YOU WANT MORE The timer, your pet, the shop, study quests and app blocking are free. Nela Plus adds: • All 5 ambient sounds • All 12 study routines, up to 3 at a time • Double coins from every session • Your full stats history • Plus items and a daily deal in the shop Nela Plus is $3.99 a month, or $19.99 a year with a 7-day free trial. Prices may differ by country. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. PRIVATE • No account needed to start. Your sessions and progress stay on your iPhone, with an optional backup when you sign in. • You choose which apps to block. Nela never sees which ones they are, and doesn't read anything inside your apps. Nela is a study tool, not a medical or mental-health treatment. Available in English, Japanese, French, German, Korean, Portuguese and Hebrew.
