Focus timers count your minutes but give you no reason to come back tomorrow. Purrminal turns your workday into a small game. Start a focus round and your pet naps on your Windows taskbar. Finished focus earns coins for food, toys and 16 pets to collect, all free to earn. See who focused most this week in a private group with friends. Using Claude Code, OpenCode or Pi? Each session becomes a pet that asks before acting, so you stop juggling terminals. Free for Windows.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Hiral, a developer from India.
For years I studied on Study Together servers with a Pomodoro timer running, and I loved it. I always thought that if work felt more like a game, with milestones and something to show for every session, it would be easier to do that one extra session. So I built Purrminal: a focus timer for Windows where your work looks after tiny pets on your taskbar.
How it works:
Pick a focus plan (Classic is 25 minute rounds with 5 minute breaks) and press Start focus. Your pet curls up and naps beside you through each round, and plays with you on the breaks.
Time at your PC earns coins, and finished focus rounds earn the most, with a small bonus when you finish every round of a plan. An idle PC earns nothing.
Coins buy food, water, toys and bubble baths, and unlock the next pet. There are 16, and every one can be earned for free.
Focus with friends: a private group of up to 6 sees who focused most this week, and it starts fresh every Monday.
One part came from my own day. I kept losing time because a coding agent was waiting on me in one terminal while I worked in another. Now each Claude Code, OpenCode or Pi session becomes a pet. It shows what it's doing and asks before acting, so I can say yes from the pet without hunting for the right window.
I wanted it to be kind, too: gentle stretch reminders, water reminders only if you want them, no loot boxes, and pets never die. Your pets and progress stay on your PC.
It's free. Premium adds 50% more coins, an extra daily quest, replying to your agent from the pet, your own photo pet, and starting a Friends group. Pick "Try Premium free for 3 days" when the app opens. No card needed.
I'd love to know: what keeps you going with a focus habit on the days you don't feel like it?
@aryan_thakore Thank you Aryan! Looking forward to your guidance along the way.
Tried the app and it's all i was looking for. I have always found myself to work better and more focused when i have a companion. These cute little pets make the experience so much more engaging and entertaining.
Great work @rhs_hiral keep building such cute products!
@ryanax Tysm! Hearing this literally made my day :) Glad the app is hitting for you, got some more updates cookin' 🔥
