Your daily care becomes their little world. Meet Mochi, a tiny handmade-style creature whose mood and habitat respond to the care you give yourself. A meal, a drink, a good night's sleep, and time to move help your companion perk up. On a difficult day, they ask for help in their own expressive way. Every day begins fresh. CARE THAT FEELS ALIVE • Watch your pet explore an animated miniature habitat and react with movement and handmade thought bubbles. • See food, water, sleep, exercise, and screen time together, with goals you can adjust. • Keep your companion close with a Home Screen widget and an Apple Watch app that can be used on its own. LOG YOUR WAY • Search foods, choose a portion, and log calories. • Quickly add water, sleep, and exercise, or connect Screen Time for automatic daily-limit tracking. • Optionally connect Apple Health for supported health data, or enter care manually. Mochi is included. More creatures and their habitats are available as optional purchases. Poppets is playful motivation, not medical advice. Your creature's mood is an exaggerated reflection of your habits, not a diagnosis.
