Quiet nights. Focus time shared with cats. NightMeow is a study timer with little feline companions. Tap the box to start. As you focus, a small friend inside begins to appear. [A little friend that grows with your focus] The box peeks open at 10 minutes. Meet a kitten at 25 minutes and a grown cat at 50. Keep studying, and a new box appears every 90 minutes. Focus without a pause button, then finish your session to save your record. [Your daily room and cat collection] When you finish, see the friends who joined you and revisit your records in each day's room. Each page shows up to 13 visitors, with more on the next page. Sessions shorter than one minute record time only. Discover different cats and invite them to your next study session. [A day that fits your routine] Choose midnight, 5 AM, or any whole hour from midnight to 8 AM as the start of your study day. Changes apply to sessions started after the effective time shown in the app. Past records stay unchanged. [Focus on your Lock Screen] Enable Live Activities to see your study time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported devices. The timer keeps running when the screen is off.
