A virtual pet that lives on your phone screen. Adopt a tiny buddy, name it, feed it, clean it, play with it, and watch it grow from baby to teen to adult while it answers every tap, swipe and shake with a face of its own. Screen Pet is a real care simulator, not a static cartoon. Four needs — mood, energy, hunger and cleanliness — drift with the hours you are away, so your buddy genuinely notices when you show up. Fifteen care, play, item and emotion actions each move those bars differently, run on their own cooldowns, and shape the 12 expressions your pet pulls back at you. Everything runs offline on your device: no account, no ads, no internet required. WHAT YOU GET - A buddy that answers back — tap, swipe or shake and get an instant animated reaction with sound and haptics - Needs you can actually read — mood, energy, hunger and cleanliness bars that drain over time and recover from the right action - Real growth to work toward — Baby to Teen to Adult evolution driven by the days you keep showing up - 15 distinct actions — feed, bathe, brush, heal, massage, fetch, hide and seek, teach tricks, hug, dance, sing and more - A pet that looks like yours — 8 colors, 6 accessories, 6 sky themes and 4 room scenes to settle into - A reason to come back tomorrow — three fresh daily missions, a reward-chest track, streaks, coins, care levels, six achievements and two 30-second mini-games PERFECT FOR - Anyone who wants a pet but cannot keep one at home - Fans of 90s pocket-pet toys and cosy care simulators - Fidgety hands that want a calm 30-second break, not another shooter - Anyone who likes a small daily ritual with a streak worth protecting WHY NOT JUST TAP A FREE IDLE CLICKER? Because a clicker wants your thumbs, not your attention. Screen Pet has no ad breaks between taps, no timers begging for gems and no leaderboard grind. Your buddy's needs move slowly and honestly, the mini-games are short on purpose, and one visit a day is enough to keep it thriving. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your pet, its stats, streak and every setting stay in your device's local storage and are never uploaded anywhere. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks all 15 care, play, item and emotion actions, all 8 pet colors, all 6 accessories, and all 10 backgrounds and room scenes. Choose a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings. Adopt your buddy tonight, give it a name, and feed it its first snack.

Pypets gives you a tiny pixel pet that studies when you study. Start the focus timer and your pet gets to work beside you. It walks across your Dynamic Island, lives on your Home Screen, and earns XP for every minute you stay on task. Put the phone down, lock in, and watch something small and cute grow because of it. A STUDY BUDDY THAT LIVES ON YOUR PHONE Your pet doesn't stay hidden behind an app icon. While the timer runs, it wanders through your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen as a Live Activity. Between sessions it sits in a Home Screen widget, where you can feed it or start a new session with one tap. EVERY FOCUSED MINUTE IS XP One minute of focus earns one XP. There are no levels to grind and nothing ever resets: your XP is a lifetime total that only goes up. If you stop mid-session, your partial minute carries over, so no effort is wasted. KEEP YOUR STREAK, EARN BONUS XP Focus on any day and your streak starts paying out: 5 bonus XP on day one, plus 5 more for every day you keep it going. Day 10 is worth 50. Miss a day and it starts over, so show up tomorrow. PICK YOUR QUICK, FOCUS OR DEEP MODE Choose a 5-minute sprint, a classic 25-minute focus block, a 50-minute deep-work session, or set your own length. ADOPT UP TO 5 PETS Bunnies, cats, dogs, foxes, frogs, pandas and horses come in 24 colors, including a Magical Horse. Each one has its own pixel animations, moods and little voice lines. Start with a free bunny, cat or dog, then adopt the ones you love. DRESS THEM UP Sunglasses, headphones and a bell collar. Unlock accessories with the XP you earned by focusing, or buy them outright. Bunnies wear them today, and more pets are getting their looks soon. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME WENT Weekly and yearly charts show exactly how much you've focused, so your streak is backed by real numbers instead of vibes. A PET WITH OPINIONS Turn on gentle daily reminders, written with a little attitude. ("Not mad. Just disappointed.") COZY, NOT NOISY No account needed, no ads, no feed, no social pressure, and no third-party trackers. Your data stays on your device and optionally syncs through your own private iCloud. Perfect for studying, homework, exam revision, deep work, reading, or any stretch of time you want to protect. — Pypets is free to download and comes with free pets.
