CLUSTER COMPANION-FOCUS-PET · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-08-04
Virtual pet productivity companions
This cluster consists of apps that pair a virtual pet with productivity tools such as focus timers, habit tracking, reminders, and mood logging, targeting both general users and those with ADHD. The dated entry history before the index start spans 2023-08 to 2026-05 with only five entries, showing a sparse and irregular pattern with no clear directional shape. Traction leadership is shared by tute and NuomiPet, each with 2 activity stars, while PixelGator-DesktopPet-Todo-Note trails with 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
