You can't stop focusing because of your own virtual pet

    I’m Shawn, indie dev. I kept failing with every focus app out there, so I built one that actually works.

    Why don't use other apps? 1. Easy to bypass: Uninstall → force stop → back to scrolling 2. Fighting alone: No emotional connection. Just you vs. impulse 3. Boring lock screen: Black & white timer = instant snooze

    So I built "Wipet" Focus with Pet! > "You can’t quit… your pet is focusing with you."

    1. Pick 30/60/120/240 min session → Your own pet appears on lock screen (eating, napping, cheering!) 2. Try to unlock? → Pet gives you a real-world mission → Healthy dopamine, zero scrolling - “Say one compliment to a friend or parent and come back!” - “Take 3 deep breaths” - “Go to the bathroom and return!” 1. Complete session → Pet grows (Age/Level up + Cookies for next session!)

    Result?: 15min focus & doomscrolling → 90min focus Your own pet won’t let you quit.

    If you are interested in, try "Wipet" on appstore ! And I am curious about belows.

    - Ever tried emotional accountability in focus apps? - What pet would you pick? and what name?

    Feedback = gold for an indie dev!

    Thanks for reading!
