Cat's Study is a study timer where you focus alongside a cat. Start a task and the cat in the room opens its book too. It rests when you rest and dozes off when you're done. Homework, exams, deep work or reading: it all feels a little less lonely with company. FOCUS TIMER - Stopwatch or Pomodoro, with focus and break lengths set to the minute. - Get notified when it's time to focus or take a break. - Leave the screen alone while you focus and the room dims, with only the timer showing. Handy on a desk stand. TASK PLANNER - Tap ▶ next to any of today's tasks to start right away. - Sort tasks into categories like Study or Work, and set daily ones to repeat. - Can't decide? Tap "Just start" and the cat comes up with a task for you. STUDY TRACKER - Daily, weekly and monthly focus time, broken down by category. - Focus 5+ minutes in one go each day to build a streak. - Share your records as an image. ROOM AND SOUNDS - Play rain sounds, thunder, library ambience or lofi music on the turntable, even with the screen off. - Ten room themes, including Café in the Rain, Cherry Blossom Study and Spaceship Study. - Earn coins from check-ins, focus sessions and streaks to dress up your cat and its room. FRIENDS AND CREWS - Visit a friend's room and see how long they've focused today. - Start a crew and everyone's cats gather in one room, showing who's focusing now and this week's check-ins. Focus together, no chat needed. - Sign in to use friends and crews. NO PRESSURE - Start without signing in, or sign in to keep your records on any device. - Dark mode supported.
