About Cat On Chair: Pomodoro Timer
Focus app 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, aesthetic pomodoro 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 with due dates and reminders - Focus Timeline to see today's sessions at a glance - Stats overview to track your overall progress - 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 - iCloud multi-device sync—seamlessly switch between iPhone and iPad Upgrade to Pro for More Features - Mix and match ambient sounds—cat purring, rain, fireplace, waves, café chatter—to create your perfect atmosphere - Record your own custom alert sounds for session notifications - Write custom cat quotes for session completion and failure messages - Call your cat by name using your voice—they'll react when they hear you - Apple Watch companion app—start, pause, and track sessions from your wrist - Focus Timeline with full history—browse any date and add stickers to your timeline - Detailed statistics: see your progress in day, week, month, and year view - Sync focus sessions to Apple Health, Calendar, and Reminders - Unlock different coat styles for your cats—change their look anytime - Save and switch between whitelist presets for different focus scenarios - More exclusive gifts, decorations, chairs, carpets, and room items - Customize break length, cycles, and long breaks - Add custom focus tags for better task management - Multiple cat-themed app icons—change anytime to match your mood - Home screen widgets: to-do list, focus status, and animated cat widgets Currently supports iOS 17 and above.

What’s new
Version 1.9.3 · Updated October 27, 2026
New: Cat Goal: Pick a cat in the shop, then earn both weekly Focus quests 4 weeks in a row to claim it for free. Monthly Goal is now for furniture and needs 400 minutes. A goal you already set keeps its target until the month ends. Getting Started: Find five starter quests in Rewards that walk you through the basics. Finish them all for a 3 or 4 star gift. Cat Tips: During breaks, your cat sometimes suggests a feature you haven't tried yet. You can turn this off in Settings. Settings Search: Search Settings to jump straight to any setting by its name. Move To: Long press a todo, or select several, to move them to Today, Tomorrow, the Weekend, or Next Monday. Pause Length: Tap Pause to pick 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes, or Unlimited. Your pick is kept for next time. Pause Times: Edit a focus session to see when each pause started and ended. Timer Color: The timer now takes its color from your background, so it's easier to read. Free Seat: Hosts can free a Guest's seat in Focus Together without blocking them. Floating Focus: The floating window now stays through pauses, closes when your focus ends, and shows bigger numbers. iPhone Duo: Fold iPhone Duo halfway like a laptop, and your focus, breaks, and sleep show in the top half. Wallpaper: On iPad and iPhone Duo, choose Portrait or Landscape when you save your room as a wallpaper. Fixes: On iOS 17, the app no longer closes about 10 seconds after you open it. Apple Watch now syncs on first setup without opening the iPhone app. Focus Alarms no longer go off while you're already focusing. Continue Counting Up no longer turns into Focus 10 More Minutes after the app closes during a focus. On a finished repeating todo, tapping the dot now undoes only that day, and removing the repeat keeps its history. Canceling a focus and leaving the app right away no longer sends a completion notification later. In Focus Together, the app closing during a room focus no longer leaves you focusing alone. Leaving right after Start Room no longer reopens the room, and only the Join button joins a room in Browse. Done and Cancel in the Custom Background editor now always respond after you pick a photo. Switching categories in the shop now opens right at your item without jumping. The All list in the todo widget no longer hides repeating todos. When iCloud storage is full, you now see a single notice that points you to Local Data Backups. Your fish balance no longer drops back to an older amount. Short Break now starts at 1 minute, so your pick no longer changes to 5 minutes after saving. Weeks now always start on the day you picked in Settings. Optimized the iPhone Duo layout. Small buttons are easier to tap, saving a todo is faster, and the Mac app crashes less.
