Crema pays you in discounts and coffee for the hours you focus. Start a session, put your phone face down, and watch your cup fill. Study at a partner cafe and those hours climb a reward ladder that ends in a real free drink — paid for by the cafe, not by you. WATCH OUT FOR THE THIEF Pick Moka as your study buddy and a cat sneaks in to steal your coffee whenever you leave the app. Pick Bean the cat, and Moka does it. Every sip costs you three minutes, so put the phone down. TABLE MODE Lay your phone flat and earn 1.5×. No app-blocking, no lockouts, nothing hostile — just a reason to stop touching it. EARN REAL COFFEE Your hours only count at the café you choose, and only when you're actually there. Reach a rung, show your screen at the counter, and collect. Rewards are set by each café. NEVER LOSE YOUR WORK Leaving the app costs one sip, never your session. Stop early and you keep every minute you earned. There is no dead tree, no punishment, no starting over. COLLECT 24 CUPS Earn cups with focused hours, or win them from a daily spin. Dress up Moka and Bean with colourways, hats and a garbage Stanley that's far too big to carry. KEEP YOUR STREAK One session a day, ten minutes minimum. Miss a day and it breaks — unless you have Crema Plus. CREMA PLUS • Earn at three cafes at once — we detect which one you're in • Repair a broken streak, once a month • Streak insurance — a missed day bridged automatically • Any session length, five minutes to three hours • Every cup, and every look for Moka and Bean • Two daily spins instead of one Weekly, monthly or yearly. Yearly starts with a week free. NO CAFE NEAR YOU? Crema works anywhere. Pick any spot, bank your hours, keep your streak — and vote for the café you want us to sign next. We're signing cafés one at a time, so until yours joins, your hours build streaks, cups and spins instead of drinks. Crema Plus is an auto-renewable subscription: Weekly $2.99/week, Monthly $4.99/month, or Yearly $29.99/year with a 1-week free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
