Gamu Nemu is waiting...
Free for iOS & Android
Focus gently. Your cat sleeps while you study, and wakes up when you leave.
How it works
Your cat is the focus mechanic
- Start a session
Your cat curls up and drifts off to sleep. Your focus session begins.
- Stay in the app
The cat stays peacefully asleep as long as you remain focused.
- Leave the app
Gamu Nemu wakes up: a gentle, guilt-free nudge to come back.
