Desktop Cat support

Need a hand with your little desktop companion? Contact the developer directly. You do not need a GitHub account to get help.

What to include in a bug report

• Your app version and where you installed it: App Store, TestFlight or the website.
• Your operating system version and what you clicked before the problem.
• What you expected and what happened instead. A screenshot can help; hide personal information first.

Please do not send passwords, payment details or private reminder contents.

Common questions

Where are my cat’s controls?

Click the cat icon in the menu bar and choose My cats. The dashboard includes Cats, Care and Settings. Your cat appears along the bottom of the screen. Double-click to pet it, or drag to pick it up.

How do I feed my cat or place an item?

Open Care and choose Feed, a toy, a litter box or a scratcher. Move the pointer to your desktop and click to place it. Press Escape while the app is focused to cancel placement.

How do reminder deliveries work?

In the App Store edition, open My cats → Settings and turn on Fetch reminders. Allow Reminders access when asked. Then create a new, incomplete reminder with a due time in the next ten minutes. Keep the app running; it checks about every 30 seconds and your cat carries the reminder title across the screen.

Reminders already due when you enable the feature are skipped to avoid a flood of old reminders. If you previously denied access, you can enable it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders. Reminder access is optional; caring for your cat does not require it.

How do I change the language?

Open My cats → Settings, choose English, Korean or Japanese, then quit and reopen the app to apply the change everywhere.

How is my data handled?

Cat names and care state are stored on your device. The app processes reminder titles and due dates locally. Read the privacy policy for details about each distribution.
