Pettering Around

A gentle companion for quiet moments on the internet. Meet Mochi — a tiny, handcrafted pixel cat that lives directly on the lines of the pages you read. Rather than floating aimlessly across your screen, Mochi is aware of the text itself: walking along sentences, perching on headings, and curling up into a peaceful loaf between paragraphs. Whether you are reading an article, writing notes, or working late into the evening, Mochi brings a subtle sense of calm and warmth to your browser. Moments with Mochi: - Walks on your words: Ambles softly across sentences and explores the text as you read. - The quiet loaf: Settles into a cozy loaf nap when tired, resting right above headings or code blocks. - Gentle curiosity: Playfully tracks your cursor, crouches when you move quickly, and slow-blinks when petted. - Four handcrafted coats: Choose from Ginger, Tuxedo, Calico, or Midnight, and give your companion a name. Built with respect: - Completely offline: Zero analytics, zero data collection, no accounts, and no network requests. Ever. - Politeness first: Never interrupts your focus. Moves at a gentle pace and honors your system’s reduced motion preferences. - Quick rest: Right-click to snooze whenever you need uninterrupted focus, or hide instantly with Alt+Shift+C (Option+Shift+C on Mac). - Safe spaces: Automatically steps aside on banking and sensitive websites. Just an honest, quiet friend to read with.
