PurrrrrFocus — cat and crane companions in a Zen-inspired focus scene

Focus isn't about doing more— it's about protecting what truly matters.

Every Session, a Calm Ritual

Less hustle, more presence—each session is a quiet ritual, not a race against the clock.

Track Time, Stay Focused

A minimalist, Eastern-inspired focus space designed to reduce visual noise—on iPhone and iPad. Living Zen scenes—courtyard, bamboo shadows, lake moon—and calming sounds like purring, temple ambience, and koto music shape each session.

Meet Your Companions

Eight cats and Plumeo the crane—each with a story, personality, and accessories of their own. One partner stays with you during every focus session: a calm presence, never a distraction.

Reward Your Good Habits

Complete focus sessions to earn Energy Points. If you end early, your partner gently reacts—encouraging you to try again next time. Points unlock cats, themes, and sounds; Plumeo the crane joins through the Partner store.

Unlock Beautiful Badges

Three badge collections—each tells a story of your focus:

Focus Training Every session of practice adds up.
Daily Companionship Steady presence, day after day.
Moments Collected Focus time gathered over the long haul.

From first steps to long-term growth—badges visualize your path.

Built by someone who needed it

Why Louis made PurrrrrFocus—and what people say after a few sessions.

From the creator

“I built this app to survive the notification storm that was drowning my own focus.”

After years in SaaS—100+ group chats, endless pings—I felt deep work slipping away. PurrrrrFocus started as a quiet place to get my attention back. I kept it offline, gentle, and free of noise because that's what I needed on my own phone.

From people who use it

Sticking with it

Cute and practical—helping me make a little progress every day. I'll keep using it long-term.

Companions

Adorable! Love the emotional connection with the cat companions.

Calm scenes

OMG this is adorable! I love the Chinese-inspired themes.
