You've been at the screen a while. Stretch with me? 🌱
Mochi, a small cream pixel-art blob with a green sprout

A pet that notices
heavy days.

Mochi lives on your desktop, naps when you step away, cheers when you take real breaks β€” and notices visible signs of a long day, like tired eyes or a three-hour stretch without standing up.

Kindness is the whole mechanic

No guilt. Ever.

Your pet never gets sick, never dies, never scolds. Missing a day just means it missed you. Breaks feed it; streaks grow it β€” and weekends never break a streak.

Invitations, not alarms

At most five gentle nudges a day, at least 45 minutes apart β€” and none during meetings, quiet hours, or your Focus time. It wonders; it never diagnoses.

Care earns keepsakes

A desk plant at five breaks. A pennant at a three-day streak. A nightcap for the champions. Tiny pixel rewards, never purchases.

New in 1.4 β€” the Feng Shui trio: Money Frog, Pixiu and Dragon Turtle, each carrying what the animal means and where tradition places it. They never predict your luck or your money β€” that's not a thing a pet can see.

Desk buddies: put up to fourteen pets on screen together (three during the free trial). Each buddy hatches with a one-of-a-kind look. Also: your tools can talk to your pet β€” Claude Code, Shortcuts, Mail rules, CI.

It can't phone home. Provably.

The camera glances, you see it

Camera modes are opt-in. A glance lasts a couple of seconds, is processed in memory, and is immediately forgotten β€” and the pet visibly looks up at you at the exact moment the green light is on. The light never appears without an on-screen explanation.

No account. No analytics. No cloud.

Everything Mochi knows lives in a couple of small, human-readable files on your Mac β€” care data and a plain-text signal log. The app makes no network request on its own β€” its one network act is downloading a guest pet from a link you paste, and the entitlements prove there is nothing else.

Don't take our word for it β€” the claim is verifiable with one Terminal command. See β€œVerify it yourself” in the Privacy Policy β†’
