Your steps feed the cat.
HeiTong Pets turns your daily steps into kibble for a cat that actually lives on your watch face — walk a little, and Hei, Tong, or Meow gets fed. It's the arcade's cast shrunk down to a wrist-sized ritual: a glance at the complication, a tap to pet or play, a streak that quietly keeps going. Nothing you can buy feeds the cat — your steps do that — and nothing in it is a guilt trip about a hungry cat.
HeiTong Pets is built and running — stats, streaks, Cat Cards, the shop, all of it — on the Apple Watch Simulator. It has not been submitted to the App Store yet; that's a macOS/Xcode step still ahead, plus an iPhone companion app for care on the go. No release date yet.
The waitlist below is the fastest way to hear the moment that changes. No spam, one email when it ships.
What it looks like
Honestly: not much to show yet. The watch app is built and its logic is fully tested, but watch screenshots and the complication mock need a Mac and a paired device — neither of which exists here. So this is the icon, and the rest arrives with the listing.
The whole loop is free, forever. One cat, your steps, the streak, the cards, the coin — a complete little pet that never goes hungry because you didn't pay.
Plus adds all three cats, extra streak protection (a freeze token every 5 days instead of 7, and room to bank 5 instead of 3), double card luck, co-parenting a cat with your person through the iPhone app, and the Aurora Sky scene, at $1.99/month or $14.99/year. If subscriptions aren't your thing, Cat Condo unlocks all three cats for $4.99 once. Cosmetic packs run $1.99–$2.99. Cat Cards are never for sale — no packs, no price on a card; Plus makes them drop more often, and that is all money does to them.
Planned prices, not final — HeiTong Pets isn't on sale yet, and Apple has the last word.
A cat that lives on your wrist
Steps become kibble
250 steps = 1 kibble. Walking through your day quietly feeds the cat — no punishing step goal, and a day off never breaks anything.
Streaks that forgive you
Freeze tokens bridge a missed day. Come back after a real lapse and you get a welcome-back gift, not a reset counter and a guilt trip.
Cat Cards, collectible
The same "for fun" cards from the arcade, now dropping on your wrist — first care of the day, streak milestones, the occasional goal-day surprise.
A glance, not a chore
Face + hunger ring on the complication, one primary action per screen, Digital Crown for scrolling. Built for a five-second glance, not a session.
A few things I'm promising up front
- A cosmetic shop, and a Plus that says what it adds. Wardrobe pieces, scenes and colour packs change how the cat looks, never how it plays. The only things money changes in play are Plus’s extra streak protection and card luck, both on the price line above — and no card is ever sold.
- No loot boxes, no ads. What you see in the shop is exactly what you get, at a fixed price.
- No guilt copy. "Your cat is starving" is a banned sentence here — a lapse gets a warm welcome back, never a scare notification.
