Mochi is a small dog who shows up for a second when you open something out of habit — then gets out of the way. He never blocks. He just asks.
Free. Two voices. No account needed. It cannot see which apps you chose.
Most of the time the honest answer to “did you mean to open this?” is no. Noticing is enough.
Instagram, YouTube, whatever it is. Mochi keeps watch. iOS never tells him their names.
Open one and Mochi appears first. Go in anyway — he steps aside without argument. Or take thirty seconds.
A pause, a coin, and you carry on with whatever you were going to do. No timers. No lectures.
Two are free forever. Four come with Plus. All of them end with you looking at something other than a screen.
Four slow breaths with a circle that breathes with you.
Turn the phone face down. It knows. Fifteen seconds of nothing.
Stand up and walk. The pedometer counts; you end up somewhere else.
Five things you can see, four you can hear, three you can touch… Eyes up, off the phone.
Eight cards, four pairs, one round. No score, no timer, no best.
Forty-five seconds under a sky that fills with stars while you wait.
Mochi on a hill, a crescent in your colour, a sky that fills one star at a time. A constellation draws itself, a soft chime for the brightest stars, a shooting star at the end. Tilt the phone and the sky shifts. Nothing to tap. The sky filling is the clock.
Every pause you finish earns coins. Coins buy hats, outfits and backdrops — and whatever Mochi wears, he wears on the interruption too, so it's the first thing you see. Coins can never be bought. That's the point.
After a pause, Mochi sometimes offers a page — a prompt, some paper, and room for a thought. Written pages, lists, drawings. Paper that turns. No streak, no reminders, nobody reading over your shoulder. Not even him: he leaves while you write.
Pick one when you set up. Switch whenever you like — or try the toggle at the top of this page.
Maybe we can pause for a moment? 🥺
One small pause counts.
You said one reel 27 reels ago.
BRO IT'S 1:43 AM.
That's a limit of Apple's Screen Time system, not only a promise from us.
iOS hands Mochi tokens that mean nothing outside your phone. He's never told what they are, and couldn't send them anywhere if he tried.
Nothing you scroll, type, post or read. No location, no contacts, no photos. No ads, ever.
Sign in with Apple to back up your coins, closet and pages — or keep it all on this phone. Anonymous usage counts turn off with one tap.
The interruption, two pauses, both voices, coins and the basic closet are free forever. Never paywalled.

No, and it never will. Every interruption has two buttons and one of them lets you straight in. Mochi adds one beat, not a wall.
Any app or website on your phone, chosen through Apple's own picker. Mochi is never told their names — iOS keeps that to itself.
No. Sign in with Apple is optional; it backs up your coins, closet and pages so a new phone gets them back. Buying Plus needs it, so the subscription and its backup travel together.
You keep the free app exactly as it was, everything you bought in the closet, and your pages are waiting in the account. Nothing is deleted.
No. Mochi keeps one number: the time you got back. No red gauges, no weekly report, no guilt.
