What's new

Version 1.0

The first release, after a lot of time spent watching cats fall off windows.

release notes

New The whole cat

  • 25 cats in two families, each with its own temperament and mood
  • Walks, hops and climbs between your windows, and sits on the Dock
  • Pick up, throw, pet, and hand it files to hold
  • Fetch: throw the ball and the winner brings it back
  • Beds, boxes, bowls and fully furnished rooms
  • A guided tour where every button does what it says

Helpers Useful, and quiet about it

  • Water, stretch, eyes and posture reminders, delivered in person
  • Focus sessions with a timer that sits on the cat's head
  • Nap Time, quiet hours, and Hide for a While for meetings
  • Screenshot catcher, late-night nudge, low-battery nap, clipboard shelf

Under the hood Light on its paws

  • Under 1% CPU at rest, and 10 frames a second when nothing moves
  • Reads window positions only, so there's no Screen Recording prompt
  • Works with Spaces, full-screen apps and Stage Manager
Coming later

A pocket cat, for iPhone.

We're working on a little companion that lives in your Dynamic Island and on your Home Screen, and naps when you do. It isn't ready yet; the Mac comes first.
