Raise a monster from an egg to its final form. It gets hungry, it gets sick, and it grows old. How you care for it decides what it becomes. A SHORT VISIT, A LONG STORY Feeding, cleaning and training take seconds. You only need to look in a few times a day. Between visits your monster keeps living on the server: it digests, it makes a mess, it ages. CARE IS THE MECHANIC, NOT THE DECORATION Leave it hungry or leave the mess, and a care mistake is recorded. Those mistakes decide which branch it evolves down. Two players raising the same egg end up with different monsters, and the difference is how they looked after it. FIVE STAGES, ABOUT FIVE DAYS Baby, Child, Adult, Perfect, Ultimate. Each stage takes real time, and running a foggy maze shortens the wait. Only an Ultimate has a lifespan, and when it ends you hold a farewell, open one of three chests, and keep a memorial of the one you raised. THEN YOU START AGAIN A new egg, a different route, the gear you kept. The dex fills in, titles unlock, and your trainer level carries over. ALSO IN THE GAME - Live tap battles: build momentum, win the QTE, land the bonus hit - Player versus player - Daycare that freezes time when you cannot check in - Shell colours and frames your opponents can see - A full in-game guide with the real drop rates and evolution conditions No ads.

Pawtch is a virtual pet that lives on your Apple Watch. Adopt it, take care of it, and it keeps you company through your day: when you walk, when you sleep and when you take a minute to breathe. TAKE CARE OF IT ⢠Choose a cat, a bunny, a bear or a dino, each with its own personality. ⢠Its needs drop over time, even when the app is closed: food, happiness, hygiene, energy and health. ⢠It lets you know when it needs something, and you can feed it, heal it or put it to bed right from the notification. ⢠Give it a bath by rubbing the screen with your finger. ⢠It grows from baby to grown-up when it has everything it needs. ⢠Choose how fast time passes and set a bedtime schedule so it sleeps at night. PLAY ⢠Ball: tilt the watch to bounce it. ⢠Catch the food: move with the Digital Crown. WALK TOGETHER (with Apple Health, optional) ⢠Your steps, the floors you climb and closing your Move ring keep it healthy and happy. ⢠After hours without walking, it asks you for a walk. ⢠With the app open, it walks or jogs at your own pace. ⢠Go on a real walk: a GPS walking workout that keeps going when you lower your wrist, counts toward your rings and ends with a summary. AND ALSO ⢠In the morning it tells you how long you slept. ⢠In a noisy place, it covers its ears. ⢠Breathe with me: a one-minute guided breathing session with gentle taps. ⢠On its anniversary there's a cake: blow out the candles. ⢠It says hi when you raise your wrist. ⢠A complication for your watch face and the Smart Stack. APPLE HEALTH If you turn it on, Pawtch reads from the Health app your steps, floors climbed, Move ring, sleep, environmental sound levels and, during walks, your heart rate, distance and calories. It saves your walks as walking workouts and breathing sessions as Mindful Minutes. This data is used only for the app's features and is never sent to us or to third parties. PRIVACY No accounts and no ads. Requires Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later.
