Yes, 100% free. All 6 evolution stages, the pomodoro timer, and the floating mascot are available to everyone. No premium tiers, no locked features, no usage limits. If you enjoy it, you can buy me a coffee — but there's zero pressure. question answer Does FocusPet collect any data? No. FocusPet doesn't collect any data. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. Your pet's state (XP, stage, health, stats) is stored locally in your browser via chrome.storage.local. Nothing leaves your device. question answer How does FocusPet detect focus vs distraction? FocusPet tracks tab activity in the background. When you stay on the same tab for 5 minutes or more, your pet gains XP (2 XP per minute focused). When you switch tabs in under 30 seconds, it counts as a distraction — your pet loses 5 XP and its streak resets. You can also use the built-in pomodoro timer for a guaranteed +50 XP per completed 25-minute session. question answer What are the evolution stages? Your pet evolves through 6 stages based on total XP: Egg (0 XP), Baby (50 XP), Child (200 XP), Teen (500 XP), Adult (1000 XP), and Master (2500 XP). Each stage adds visual accessories — a hat at Child, a cape at Adult, and a golden crown at Master. question answer What's the floating cat on my screen? That's your FocusPet! A 64×64 pixel-art cat overlay renders on every page (bottom-right by default). It's draggable — click and hold to move it anywhere. The cat changes color and expression based on its mood: gold when happy, blue when sad, purple when sleeping. It also bounces when you click it. question answer Does FocusPet work offline? Yes. FocusPet works completely offline. The pixel-art sprite is drawn in real-time on an HTML canvas — no images, no external assets. The only permissions requested are storage (to save your pet's state) and idle detection (to make your pet sleep when you're away).

FocusPet turns focus into a game. A pixel-art cat lives on your screen, gains XP when you stay focused, and gets sad when you get distracted. It's a tamagotchi that grows through your productivity.

How it works

FocusPet runs quietly in the background, tracking your tab activity:

• Stay on a tab 5+ minutes → your pet gains 2 XP per minute focused. Health regenerates.
• Switch tabs in under 30 seconds → that's a distraction. Your pet loses 5 XP, its mood drops to sad, and its streak resets to zero.
• Complete a pomodoro session → +50 XP, health +10, and your pet celebrates.
• Go idle or lock your screen → your pet falls asleep (purple, closed eyes).
• New day → daily counters reset (focus minutes, distraction count), but total XP and stage are permanent.

Evolution stages

Stage	XP Required	Visual
Egg	0	Basic cat body
Baby	50	Basic cat body
Child	200	+ Red hat
Teen	500	+ Red hat
Adult	1000	+ Red hat + Purple cape
Master	2500	+ Red hat + Purple cape + Golden crown

Once your pet reaches Master, it's maxed out — but you can keep grinding XP to flex your total.

The pomodoro timer

The popup includes a 25-minute pomodoro timer. Hit Start Focus and a countdown begins. If you complete the full 25 minutes: +50 XP, health boost, streak increment, and a notification. If you interrupt it (or go idle): -10 XP, streak resets, and your pet gets sad.

The floating mascot

A 64×64 pixel-art cat renders as a fixed overlay on every page you visit — bottom-right by default. It's:

• Draggable — click and hold to move it anywhere on the page
• Animated — breathing idle, tail wag, bounce on click
• Mood-reactive — gold body when happy, blue when sad, purple when sleeping
• Stage-aware — shows hat, cape, and crown as your pet evolves
• Dismissible — it's a canvas element, non-intrusive at 85% opacity

Privacy

FocusPet doesn't collect any data. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. Your pet's state lives in chrome.storage.local — it never leaves your browser. The only permissions are storage (to persist your pet), idle (to detect when you're away), and notifications (to tell you when a pomodoro completes). The content script runs on all URLs but only draws a canvas — it doesn't read page content or make network requests.

Free forever

FocusPet is 100% free. All 6 evolution stages, the pomodoro timer, and the floating mascot are available to everyone. There are no premium tiers, no locked features, no usage limits. If you enjoy it, you can buy me a coffee — but there's zero pressure.
