every focus timer looks kinda the same, so I added a cat. FocusCat is an offline-first focus timer for Mac with a cat companion that taps its paw as you type. block distracting apps during sessions, track where your time actually goes and choose your timer mode. no account, no cloud. just you, your work and a cat judging you. free forever and open source. also available at pomodorocat.com if you're not on Mac.
built FocusCat because every focus timer looks kinda the same and I wanted something with more personality. ended up adding a cat from another project of mine called Tapling and people seem to love it.
full credit to @StrayRogue for the original Bongo Cat artwork and the Bongo Cat Steam game. this is a fan project made with respect for what they built.
