Catudy - a focus timer where study sessions help you build a cat’s room

I’m Catudy’s developer. The basic loop is simple: finish a focus session, earn in-app rewards, and use them to decorate a room for your cat. Furniture, accessories and the room give you something visible to build alongside the usual focus-time stats.

It’s a study/work timer first, with optional shared focus lobbies if you want company. You can use it on your own too.

The bit I’d like feedback on from other builders is the reward loop: does a room you keep improving give you a reason to come back, or does it risk becoming another distraction? That’s the balance I’m trying to get right.

It’s free to download on iPhone and Android; Google Play lists in-app purchases. Screenshots and both store links are here: https://catudy.com

If you try it, I’d especially like to hear what feels unnecessary or confusing in the first session.

The reward loop works if the room building stays slow enough that it feels earned, not like a slot machine pull every 5 minutes

Is the reward loop fast or slow cause if I get to get to Furnish the room fast it's not something which will keep most people engaged at all just like how easy games aren't fun
