Mochi - A tiny animated cat for every browser tab.

Mochi lets you place a tiny animated cat companion directly on your browser tabs, like a little friend hanging out while you browse. Pick from 20 local cat styles, drag Mochi anywhere, and keep the same cat in the same spot across tabs. It’s intentionally small and quiet, not a productivity tool, tracker, or notification machine. No accounts, analytics, ads, or remote data. Just a little cat for your tabs :3

I made Mochi because browser tabs can feel a little too empty after a long day. It started as a small side project: one animated cat, then a few more, and eventually 20 different personalities. Mochi stays in the same spot across tabs, can be dragged anywhere, and works locally without accounts, analytics, or extra noise. I’d love to know which cat becomes your favorite, and whether you’d actually keep one around while browsing :3

Cute fun idea! It would be really cool if it would be an easy to install extension for different browsers (for non-techy people like myself).

 Thank you so much!! I’m glad you like Mochi, and thanks for pointing out that the installation should be easier for nontechnical users.

I’ve updated the Product Hunt video to show the complete installation process, and added a step by step guide with pictures to the GitHub repository.

Mochi should also work on Chromium based browsers like Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera, not just Chrome :3

If you use a different browser, feel free to send me a message here or email me at . Let me know which browser you use and I’ll check it out. Mochi might be ready to make some new browser friends!!

 maybe it's just a problem on my side that product hunt doesn't want AT ALL to let me sign in to be able to see videos. Anyway, I use Chrome and I found the GitHub link. I'll give it a try to install it.

Ok an animated tab buddy is not something I knew I wanted haha. Does it react to what's happening on the page or does it do its own thing? Either way my tabs need a pet

Maker

 Haha, right now it just hangs out on your tab and doesn’t react to what’s happening on the page yet. No petting mechanic either… for now :3

Maybe that should be a future update though.

  No petting mechanic is the real tragedy here haha. If you do add reactions later, what would you want it to react to first – scrolling, or me having 40 tabs open?

Maker

 Ummm, the idea was always to keep Mochi lightweight and out of the way so it doesn’t interrupt browsing. That’s the priority, Head pats might come first, though 40 tabs could be too much for Mochi 😭

THIS MAKES ME HAPPY! Wondering if you're planning on adding a dog version too? 😻
