Overview

A closer look at Cat On Chair: Pomodoro Timer.

Cat On Chair makes a focus session feel more like tending a small digital room than watching a bare countdown. Start a Pomodoro or count-up session and the cat keeps you company; completed sessions earn gifts that can be exchanged for furniture and decorations. The reward loop is lighthearted, so it may suit someone who finds plain productivity timers too austere.

The practical tools include app and website blocking with an allowlist, a short task list with due dates and reminders, a timeline of today's sessions, statistics, Shortcuts, and an iOS lock-screen widget. iCloud sync lets a session move between iPhone and iPad. These features support a focus routine, while the cat collection supplies the visual motivation.

The basic version is described as free and ad-free. Pro adds more sounds, detailed history, integrations, customization, and an Apple Watch companion; the current billing terms are not specified in the listing text we reviewed. This profile is based on the official US App Store description and screenshots. We have not tested blocking behavior or timer accuracy.
