BittyPals is a quiet life with one cat. Name your pal, then share a small yard: meals on the plate, naps on the cushion, yarn on the grass, and a seesaw in the sand. Feed, play, clean up, and let them sleep so happiness stays high. Happiness lives on a 0–100 score you can see on the yard. Meals, play, and a full night’s rest help. Missed meals, a messy lawn, or leaving them awake too long without a visit pull it down. Settings keeps a history of the last 30 days, this year, and lifetime totals. On the Lock Screen and Home Screen, BittyPals can show a Live Activity, Dynamic Island (supported iPhones), and a widget so you still see how they’re doing when the app is closed. Made for iPhone and iPad. No account. No in-app purchases. Just you and one cat.
