FAQ

Quick answers about Meowchi, the cozy focus game we are building.

What is Meowchi?

Meowchi is a cozy focus game where a playful little cat keeps you company while you study or work.

Complete focus sessions to earn mochi, decorate your cozy home, and slowly build a focus habit that feels rewarding instead of stressful.

We believe productivity doesn't have to feel serious to be effective.

Is Meowchi a game or a productivity app?

Both.

Meowchi combines practical focus tools with the emotional rewards of a cozy game.

Instead of simply tracking your focus time, every session helps you build something you can actually see and enjoy.

How does Meowchi work?

The core loop is simple: Focus -> Earn Mochi -> Decorate -> Repeat.

Start a focus session. Stay away from distractions. Finish your session. Earn mochi. Decorate Meowchi's home.

Every real-life focus session makes your cozy world grow a little more.

Why Meowchi?

We created Meowchi because staying productive shouldn't feel like constantly fighting yourself.

Instead of guilt, streak anxiety, or pressure, we wanted to create a companion that makes coming back to work feel lighter, warmer, and a little more fun.

Why a cat?

Cats somehow understand both productivity and procrastination.

Sometimes Meowchi works alongside you. Sometimes it naps. Sometimes it celebrates your wins.

It isn't a pet you need to take care of. It's a tiny companion cheering you on.

Is Meowchi inspired by other focus apps?

Absolutely.

We love cozy productivity apps and games, and we've learned a lot from products that came before us.

Rather than reinventing the focus timer itself, we're focused on creating our own world, personality, progression, and cozy experience around it.

We hope that over time, people will remember Meowchi for its own identity.

Is Meowchi free?

Yes.

The core focus experience is free.

We'll also offer optional premium content for people who want more customization, exclusive cosmetics, and additional ways to personalize Meowchi's world while supporting our small indie team.

What does Premium include?

Premium helps support the future of Meowchi.

Depending on future updates, it may include exclusive decor, special cat skins, seasonal content, additional customization, and extra quality-of-life features.

The core focus experience will always remain available for everyone.

Can I block distracting apps?

Yes.

Choose which apps you'd like Meowchi to block during a focus session.

You stay in control - we're here to help you focus, not punish you.

Why isn't there a web version?

Because browsers are where many distractions begin.

As a small indie team, we'd rather build one amazing focused experience than spread ourselves too thin across every platform.

We'll launch on iPhone first, followed by Android, then desktop apps like Steam and Mac.

Will Meowchi come to Android?

Yes.

Android is already planned after the iOS launch.

We're building Meowchi step by step as a small indie team, so we'd rather release polished experiences than rush every platform at once.

Will Meowchi come to Steam?

Yes.

Unlike the mobile version, the desktop version will have its own ideas and evolve differently over time.

We're excited to explore what's possible on PC once the mobile experience is solid.

Why does Meowchi start with only one room?

We're a tiny indie team.

Instead of shipping lots of unfinished content, we chose to make one room feel polished first.

As Meowchi grows, so will its world. New rooms, progression systems, decor, and surprises are already on our roadmap.

Will there be more rooms?

Absolutely.

We're just getting started.

Our goal is to keep expanding Meowchi with new rooms, furniture, companions, themes, and fresh progression systems over time.

Will there be more furniture and decor?

Definitely.

Decorating is a huge part of Meowchi.

Expect new furniture, seasonal collections, cozy themes, wallpapers, and lots of tiny details to make your space feel uniquely yours.

Does Meowchi collect my data?

Your privacy matters.

We only collect the information needed to keep Meowchi running and improving.

We don't sell your personal data.

Why does Meowchi have a subscription?

Because we want to build Meowchi the right way.

Your support helps us keep the app ad-free, continue creating new art, music, animations, and content, sustain a small independent team, and keep improving Meowchi for years to come.

Every subscription directly helps us make the cozy world bigger.

Is Meowchi suitable for ADHD?

Meowchi isn't designed as a medical or therapeutic tool.

However, many people find that turning focus into a cozy, rewarding experience makes it easier to come back to work.

If you have ADHD or other conditions, Meowchi should be considered a supportive productivity companion - not a replacement for professional care.
