The cats you meet on Tokyo's streets. Who are they?
Anoko is a little game about meeting street cats and keeping their story. Take a photo with your iPhone camera as usual, then add it to Anoko.
• Find out who it is
Anoko suggests whether it's a cat it already knows. Same cat? Your photo joins its story. A new one? It becomes a new cat.
• A name in feline script
Every new cat gets a name written in a secret feline script, made of shapes from a cat's world: a fish, a moon, a cat face. It's a real script you can learn to read.
• Collect the passes
Each cat becomes a pass in its fur colors, in your collection. See how many people met it and when it was last seen.
• A shared map
See roughly where other people met cats, and go find your "next cat" on a walk.
• Cats still to find
Cats other people met show up in your "To find" list, nearest first, with the area where they were seen.
• When someone meets your cat
Get a ping when someone meets a cat you found. Everyone gets their own feline nickname.
• Kind to cats and neighbors
- Exact spots are never shown, only an approximate area of about 100 m
- Faces and license plates are blurred automatically before sharing
- Only the day a photo was taken is shared, never the time
- Location and metadata are removed from photos before sharing
- Never enter private property, chase, or lure a cat with food
- Report or block anything inappropriate
No account needed: sharing uses your iCloud. No ads, no tracking.
