A pet that notices heavy days

Meet Mochi, a tiny pixel pet for your Mac desktop that notices when your day gets heavy. It spots tired eyes, a yawn, or hours without standing up, turning your screen breaks into caring for a small, playful companion. THE PET ON YOUR SIDE Mochi turns healthy habits into a shared routine. Missing a day just means your pet missed you. - No punishment mechanics. Your pet never gets sick and never guilts you. - Breaks feed it. Streaks grow it. Weekends never break a streak. - Care earns tiny cosmetics like a desk plant, a pennant, or a nightcap. - Choose from thirteen animated, hand-drawn companions: Mochi, Capybara, Rubber Duck, Onigiri, Lucky Cat, Tanuki, Panda, Ninja, Little Oni, Little Samurai, and the Feng Shui trio — Money Frog, Pixiu, and Dragon Turtle — plus a rare fourteenth your streak earns. - The Feng Shui companions carry their tradition, not a forecast: each one tells you what the animal means and where it is placed, and never claims anything about your luck or your money. IT ONLY READS WHAT IS VISIBLE Mochi looks for physical signs of a long day. It watches for a long stretch at the screen, tired eyes, or a yawn. It always invites and never commands. - Nudges are hard-capped to a maximum of five per day, spaced at least 45 minutes apart. - Automatically pauses during your meetings, quiet hours, and Focus time. PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE, NOT A PROMISE Mochi is built so that nothing about you leaves your Mac. There is no account, no server, no analytics, and the app never makes a request of its own. It uses the network for exactly one thing, and only when you ask for it: you paste a link to a guest pet, and Mochi downloads that one file. - Check it yourself in Terminal: codesign -d --entitlements - /Applications/Mochi.app. The binary carries the client networking entitlement — for the download you start — and no server entitlement at all. - That same listing shows a microphone entitlement. Nothing in this version opens the microphone; it is held for a press-and-hold talk feature still in testing, and macOS asks your permission before any app can listen. - Camera glances are strictly opt-in. They take about one second, are processed in memory, and immediately discarded. - Nothing is recorded, and nothing about you or your day is ever sent anywhere. There is no user account. - When the green camera light turns on, your pet is visibly glancing up at you on screen. - Everything Mochi knows lives in a couple of small, human-readable files on your device. CHOOSE YOUR MODE All modes are entirely optional and reversible with a single click. - Rhythm only: The default mode. Uses no camera. Paces your breaks based on your keyboard and mouse activity rhythm. - Check-ins: Click to ask how you look for a single, one-second read. - Ambient glances: Brief reads while you work. Automatically skips during meetings, screen sharing apps, low battery, and quiet hours. FREE FOR 7 DAYS, THEN YOURS FOREVER (IF YOU WANT) Every feature is unlocked for your first week — no payment info, no catch. After that, the core companion stays free forever, and Full Care re-opens ambient glances, every companion, Trends, and calendar awareness — subscribe, or buy once and it's yours forever. Your choice, cancel anytime, and everything your pet earned stays either way.

Clearer, more honest privacy wording — and a gentle reminder when your free week is over. • Our privacy description now spells out exactly what Mochi does with the network: nothing of its own, and one download you start yourself by pasting a link to a guest pet • Every entitlement in the app is named and explained, so the `codesign` check matches what we tell you • After the free week, your pet asks once a day — and only once — whether you'd like to keep Full Care
