Focus doesn’t have to feel cold or boring. When you enter focus mode, a cat appears on the chair keeping you company. With a hand-drawn style and rich colors, Cat On Chair brings you a cozy, playful focus experience. The cat isn’t only there to “supervise”; they're sharing the moment with you. Stay motivated with gifts and rewards. Complete a session, and your cat will bring you a gift. Fail, and you may be left with a little trash. Gifts can be traded for fish, which unlock furniture and decorations for your cat’s room. Seasonal updates bring new gifts, decor, and even more cats to collect. Attention: May cause increased productivity, spontaneous cat adoption urges, and the inexplicable need to explain your work schedule to a digital pet. Basic Features (Free Version) - No ads - Support for both Pomodoro and count-up modes - Collect gifts and trash, sell for fish to buy new furniture and decor - Block apps and websites to avoid interruptions - Use a whitelist to pick the apps you want to use during focus sessions - Note down your important tasks in a to-do list - Export your cat's room as wallpaper to save your focus moments - With Shortcuts, you can create automation to start a focus session whenever you need - Earn achievements to show off in your cat's room - Lock screen widget to start a session without unlocking the phone Upgrade to Pro for More Features - Mix and match ambient sounds—cat purring, rain, fireplace, waves, café chatter—to create your perfect atmosphere - Customize break length, cycles, and long breaks - Add custom focus tags for better task management - View detailed statistics: see your progress in day, week, month, and year view - Exclusive Pro decorations: chairs, carpets, and room items - iCloud multi-device sync—seamlessly switch between iPhone and iPad - Multiple cat-themed app icons—change anytime to match your mood - See your cat chilling on your home screen with smooth animation Currently supports iOS 17 and above.

Would love more visual stats and interactive components
Sep 22

This is great, I love it so much!!! I’d love to have more charts instead of just the pie and monthly chart. Also, would love the ability to pet the cat a few times before it hisses or reminds me to get back to studying lol it’s just so cute. Also would appreciate descriptions on what disabling gravity does and what pro widgets would look like, and more support/features for the flow stopwatch instead of pomodoro timer

Cute Timer with Room for Growth

I’ve tried many focus timers and so far I’ve been enjoying this one. I like that it doesn’t utilize language like “quit” which can come across judgmental. The art is incredibly cute and I find the premise engaging enough. I like that the image of the room can be saved and even used as a wallpaper.I do hope they add more customization options that can be unlocked through consistent usage of the app. It would be great to have more cats (like Siamese), chairs, windows with weather selections (like rain, snow, falling leaves), fireplaces, etc to create a cozy image. It would also be nice if the ambient sounds could still be available while listening to podcasts. There are some apps that allow that which I would find helpful since I don’t listen to only ambient sounds while working or when needing a focus timer.I will continue to use the app for a bit and hope more is added for continued use.

Thank you so much for your support. We just released a new update with many new cats, furnitures, ambient sounds. You can get most of the items by using the app and get gifts from your cat. We recently updated the app to allow listen to podcast while the ambient sound is on. Hope you will enjoy it.

I’m obsessed!!

I never write reviews but I had to because I love this app so much! As a cat lover with ADHD this is such great motivation for me to focus. I love that it works with screen time to limit select apps instead of all or nothing. I also love the cute options for new cats and decor. The fact that you can mix and match soundscapes is icing on the cake for my neurodivergent brain. I’m a therapist and already recommending this app to my clients. Thanks so much!!

Cute but shop items

I really think this app is cute and help me stay productive while I read. I ADORE cats but I really wish there were more shop items for non pro users.

Developer Response
Thank you for your support. Once you get enough gifts from your cat, you can sell them and use the fish to purchase all the shop items. Only few items are pro user only.

Few small improvements 1. The voice detection for the cat name is much better 2. You can now extend the focus session for 10 minutes once you finished the session. You can only extend it twice 3. You can now select whether to include the time you focused during a failed session in your stats
