Read with Cat:Pomodoro eReader

Read with Cat is a cozy reading app where a little white cat named Folio keeps you company. Open one of 75,000+ classic books or your own EPUB and PDF files, start a calm pomodoro focus timer, and read together. Every night you read lights a firefly in her jar.

🐾 A cozy cat who reads with you

Folio curls up in her armchair while you read, fetches your book from the pile, and says hello every morning, afternoon and night. Reading earns her fish, grants her wishes and sends her on little adventures through the stories you love. Think of her as a gentle virtual pet for book lovers: the more you read, the happier she grows.

⏳ A pomodoro focus timer with a friend

Start a focus walk and travel beside Folio through the seasons. It's a calm pomodoro timer with breaks, made for reading, studying or work. On your breaks, animals stop by and she tells you little stories. Add gentle rain, a crackling fire, birdsong or waves while you read.
