Tiemie

🧪 EXPERIMENTAL

A tiny pixel cat who lives on your phone and computer and gently reminds you of things. One at a time. No guilt, ever.

Made for brains that wander off (hello, ADHD and autistic friends), but everyone's welcome on the rug. Psst: boop the calico. 👆

🐾 Adopt her

Free. No account, no ads, no tracking. Here's the one for the device you're on:

🤖 Android

⬇ Download for Android

Open the downloaded file and tap Install.
If Android asks, let your browser install apps (Tiemie isn’t from the Play Store, that’s all). If Play Protect grumbles: More details → Install anyway.
Open Tiemie and say hi. 🐾

🪟 Windows

⬇ Download for Windows

Open the downloaded file. Tiemie installs and starts by herself. If your browser asks about the download, choose Keep.
If Windows says it “protected your PC”: More info → Run anyway (Tiemie isn’t from the Microsoft Store, that’s all).
Look down: she’s on your desktop. 🐾

🍎 Mac

⬇ Download for Mac Apple silicon

Open the downloaded file and drag Tiemie into Applications.
The first time, macOS may refuse to open it (Tiemie isn’t from the App Store): System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
If it says Tiemie “is damaged”, she isn’t. In Terminal, run xattr -cr /Applications/Tiemie.app and open her again.

🌐 iPad, iPhone or any browser

Open Tiemie in the browser

On an iPad or iPhone, open this page in Safari, then tap Share → Add to Home Screen. Now she opens like an app.
In a browser she can only nudge you while she’s open. For nudges when she’s closed, adopt the Android, Windows or Mac version.

What she does

⏰ Nudges, one at a time

When something’s due she pads over, meows softly and shows you the first tiny step. Done ✓ earns her a fish. 5 min, 1 hour or Not today 💛 are all perfectly good answers.

🐟 A cat to look after

She gets peckish, wants pets and loves a play. Feeding her is free and her needs never hit zero: no sad, sick or guilt-trippy cat. Fish come from doing your things, and buy treats or a tiny wardrobe.

🎧 A focus buddy

Start a focus session and she settles in beside you with her own little laptop. Body doubling, but furrier. Stopping early is always allowed.

💞 Better together

Link up with your person: see each other’s cat and social battery, send hugs and cat visits, share chores and a shopping list, and focus together. Your own reminders stay yours.

📖 A reading log

On Android, the books and audiobooks in your folders show up by themselves, covers and all. Finish one and she throws you a party.

🌸 Cycle tracking, if you want it

Period days, how you feel and gentle estimates, with a cat who goes extra cosy on period days. Private: never shared with anyone.

🖥️ Wherever you are

She strolls along the bottom of your computer screen, floats over your other apps on Android, and stays in step on every device you own.

🌙 Knows when to rest

From 22:30 to 07:30 (or whenever you choose) she naps and keeps the nudges to herself. Hydrate-and-stretch nudges rest too.

Your first five minutes

Adopt her. Pick your device up there. 👆
Say hi. Choose Tiemie (the calico) or Light (the fluffy Maine Coon), and give her a name. She’s yours now.
Catch a thought. Type it the way you’d say it, and she turns it into a reminder:
call mum at 3pm laundry in 20 min tomorrow 9:30 dentist
Answer her nudge. Done ✓, a few more minutes, or Not today 💛. There are no wrong answers. She doesn’t keep score (except fish).
Bring the gang (optional). Settings → Sync shows your home code: enter it on your other devices and it’s the same cat everywhere. Settings → You & your person links you up with someone special.

Good to know

Let her nudge you. Allow notifications. On Android, also tap Allow exact times in her Settings, so nudges land on the minute.
Your home code is her key. Write it down somewhere safe. A new device needs it to find your cat, and anyone who has it can see her reminders, so keep it to yourself.
Works offline. No internet? She keeps reminding you anyway, and your devices catch up when they’re back.
On a computer: click her for pets, double-click for her panel, right-click for the menu (including hide for an hour).
On an iPad or iPhone she lives in the browser: add her to your Home Screen, and she can nudge you while she’s open.
Your person sees your cat, your social battery and the love you send. Never your reminders, never your cycle.
Too much cat? Pick Calm (the default), Normal or Playful in Settings. Sounds are optional, text can go bigger, and reduced motion is respected.

🧪 Experimental, with whiskers

Tiemie is a homemade, hand-pixelled project, made for one small household and shared as-is. She’s still learning, so things may change, wobble, or occasionally get knocked off the table. There’s no warranty and no support desk.

What doesn’t wobble: there are no accounts, ads or tracking. Your cat lives on your own devices, and the server that keeps them in sync only ever sees sealed boxes it can’t open.

If she acts weird, close her and open her again. Your stuff is safe on your devices.

Questions, answered by a cat

Does it cost anything?

Nope. No ads, no accounts, no subscriptions. Fish can’t be bought, only earned by doing your things. 🐟

What if I ignore a reminder?

Nothing bad happens. Gentle ones quietly let go after a while, nothing ever turns red or piles up, and there are no streaks to break. She still thinks you’re great.

Is my stuff private?

Yes. Everything is sealed (end-to-end encrypted) before it leaves your device, so not even the server can read it. Your person never sees your reminders, and your cycle data stays with you. If you like, it can tell them to be extra gentle that day.

Can two of us use it?

Yes! Each of you gets your own cat, and a link code joins you up: shared chores (whoever does it ticks it off for both), a shopping list, focusing together, and little 💕s through the day.

Are Tiemie and Light real?

Very. Both are drawn from real cats, right down to Tiemie’s ginger ear patch and Light’s magnificent ruff.

Can I get a dog version?

We asked. She knocked the question off the table. 😼
