Blotpath vs Mochibu

The city is your canvas. Walk a street. Leave a line. Come back before it fades. Blotpath paints the routes you actually run or ride. Phone in a pocket is enough. Ink stays for about ten days, then the canvas forgets — unless you walk it again. You never pay to stop fade. Apple Watch can start the same walk from your wrist, even with the wrist down. Party is optional. Friends join with a code and share finished walks on one neighborhood canvas. There is no live map pin, no ads, and no stranger feed. Location is used only during an active walk. Ending the walk stops it.

A tiny, soft companion that lives on your Apple Watch and at home on your iPhone. A few seconds a day are enough: a bowl, a pat, a little game. It sleeps when you sleep and grows when the days go well. MADE FOR GROWN-UPS Mochibu checks in, it never nags. Nothing changes while it sleeps, a day without your watch is fine, and a well-fed pet lasts days on its own. Left alone for longer, it goes exploring and comes home to the next bowl you set out. Care is quick and calm, and fits between two meetings. EIGHT LITTLE FRIENDS • Mochi, maki, berry, macaron, blossom, pebble, pudding and cloud bunny • Each has its own personality and voice, remembers its favorite food, game and room, and grows closer with daily care • Softly illustrated, they breathe, hop, nap and answer every pat • From egg to hatchling, juvenile and grown-up, one good day at a time ON YOUR WRIST • Complications in every size for your watch face, and the Smart Stack • Feed with Double Tap, pat from the watch • Peekaboo, a heartbeat game, and tea you pour with the Digital Crown • Snacks from the pantry, right on the watch • Everyday care works on the watch on its own AT HOME ON YOUR IPHONE • A little adventure every day: your pet heads out for a couple of hours and comes home with a souvenir for the album. Follow the trip on the Lock Screen • A room to decorate, then share as a photo or a looping GIF. Decorations draw visiting friends, who sign your guestbook and sometimes leave a letter • A home that grows with every companion you raise • Seven little games, including Star shower, with personal bests and Game Center leaderboards • Outfits, rooms, and a journal of your days together, with keepsakes for your first good week, 30, 100 and 365 days, and every birthday • Widgets with buttons to feed and pat, and Control Center controls • Available in 11 languages ALL YEAR ROUND • A full moon night every month, when a friend comes over • The winter festival with the Snowy Village, Lunar New Year and Valentine's • Festival pieces are earned with care in their season, and sold for coins after it FAIR AND CLEAR Two bowls of food a day are free, and they keep a cared-for pet happy. Coins buy extras: snacks and feasts, outfits, rooms, decorations, new companions (mochi's egg is free), and themed collections such as Cozy Café, Rainy Afternoon and Moon Picnic. Care earns coins too, from good days, weekly streaks, growing up and daily adventures, and the first egg to hatch brings enough for a first outfit. Coin packs from 200 to 5,600 coins are sold in the app, and a welcome pack once. Every coin price shows what it costs in money, nothing sold is random, and coins never expire. No ads, no subscription. Prefer the classic rule, where a pet left without care for days passes? Choose it in Settings. A new egg is always free, and coins, earned or bought, can bring a pet back as it was. PRIVATE No account, no tracking, no data collected. Your pet's whole history is backed up, encrypted, to your own iCloud, so it survives a new phone.
