Mochi lets you place a tiny animated cat companion directly on your browser tabs, like a little friend hanging out while you browse. Pick from 20 local cat styles, drag Mochi anywhere, and keep the same cat in the same spot across tabs. It’s intentionally small and quiet, not a productivity tool, tracker, or notification machine. No accounts, analytics, ads, or remote data. Just a little cat for your tabs :3
I made Mochi because browser tabs can feel a little too empty after a long day. It started as a small side project: one animated cat, then a few more, and eventually 20 different personalities. Mochi stays in the same spot across tabs, can be dragged anywhere, and works locally without accounts, analytics, or extra noise. I’d love to know which cat becomes your favorite, and whether you’d actually keep one around while browsing :3
Ok an animated tab buddy is not something I knew I wanted haha. Does it react to what's happening on the page or does it do its own thing? Either way my tabs need a pet
Cute fun idea! It would be really cool if it would be an easy to install extension for different browsers (for non-techy people like myself).

Who hunted Mochi?
Mochi was hunted by KOUSTAV ROY. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
