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.
Nubi

Nubi is a virtual pet that lives in real time. It gets hungry while you are at work, sleepy at night, and a little bored when you forget it. Come back a few times a day and it grows up right in front of you. A PET THAT ACTUALLY GROWS • Day by day milestones: a first hair, a first tooth, braces, a growth spurt • 50 forms to discover in the album, shaped by how you care for it • Four traits, Gourmet, Sparkle, Dreamer and Rascal, that change its look and mood • Bond that builds over weeks, not minutes CARE THAT FEELS REAL • Feed from a pantry of snacks and meals • Wash with real lather: scrub, rinse, sparkle • Tuck it in for a nap and let energy refill • Pet it, talk to it, keep its streak alive SIX MINI GAMES Catch snacks, match pairs, hunt socks, repeat the rhythm, stack blocks, spot the odd one out. Every round fills Fun and pays coins by score. Two free rounds per game every day. DAILY TASKS AND COINS Three small tasks each day. Finish them for coins and a bond bonus. Spend coins on 14 hats, 5 buddies, 8 room decorations and 7 rooms. Coin packs are optional and there are no ads, ever. ON YOUR WRIST Nubi comes with an Apple Watch app. Check how your pet is doing, feed it or pet it straight from your wrist. Add a complication and your pet sits right on your watch face, changing as it grows. WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your pet and its needs, and let you snack or pet it without opening the app. SHARE Story and post cards with today's numbers, ready for Instagram. Made for anyone who misses their Tamagotchi. Free to play, offline friendly, no account needed.
