Poopik
Read full descriptionHide full description
Poopik is a tiny pixel-art pet that lives on your iPhone. It gets hungry. It gets bored. And yes, it poops. Keep it fed, clean and happy and it grows from an egg into a puppy, a teen, a grown-up and eventually a wise old senior. Ignore it for too long and, well, you know how this goes. WHAT YOU DO • Feed meals and treats. Treats are fun. Too many treats make a chubby Poopik. • Play, bathe and tuck it in. Every stat matters. • Tap the poop to clean it up before it makes your pet sick. • Walk. Your daily steps from Apple Health turn into exercise for your pet. • Play minigames: Poop Dodge, City Run and Dance Memory. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your pet at a glance. • Care actions right from a widget, no need to open the app. • Dynamic Island alert when there is poop to clean. • Apple Watch app and complications, so your Poopik is on your wrist. LIFE GOES ON • Real time, real decay. Your pet keeps living while the app is closed. • Sleep schedule. It rests at night, and can match your own sleep from Apple Health. • Generations. When a pet passes, the next one carries the family line. PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Everything stays on your device. Unlock Mochi, a second character, or revive a pet that did not make it, as optional in-app purchases.
Catmint Cove
Read full descriptionHide full description
Catmint Cove is a quiet place. Inspired by a real cat named Midknight, the Cove is a little world where cats can simply be cats — and you get to look after them. Cats wander in needing someone. A warm spot in the sun. A full bowl. Fresh water. A scratch behind the ears. Keep them fed and comfortable and they’ll settle in and make the Cove home. Let things slide for too long and a cat might pad off down the shore — but you’ll always get a clear warning first. And if one does wander off, it’ll still be waiting in your field guide whenever you’re ready to coax it back. A day away costs you nothing. The Cove carries on without you and tells you what happened when you return. No pressure to constantly check in. No punishment for having somewhere else to be. Every cat has its own way of being a cat. A lazy one loafs. A bold one gets the zoomies. A shy one watches from the long grass. Spend enough time together and you’ll start noticing the little things that make each one different. Slowly, you make the place theirs. Mend the old dock. Plant the catmint. Light the little bakery oven. Find just the right spot for a bed. Decorate their home, dress up your cats, and watch them find their favorite corners of the Cove. Send a few cats off exploring and read the postcards they send home. Fill your field guide. Frame a photo. Grow ingredients in the garden. Spend a quiet afternoon fishing. And every now and then, the Cove gets a little less quiet. Cove Festivals bring a little friendly chaos — cats race, play volleyball, pull together in Tug of Paws, and somehow end up running a café. Then, when you’ve had enough excitement, slow things down again. Let it rain. Settle in with your cats, listen to the rain, watch them curl up and sleep, and stay for as long as you like. Sometimes there’s something to do. Sometimes there isn’t. That’s kind of the point. Catmint Cove is a cozy corner of the world where cats come to be looked after — and you slowly make it theirs. No pressure. No pay-to-win. No punishment for taking a day away. The Cove will be here when you get back.
