PeskyPet

The task manager with a pet who won't let it go.

Add a task and a deadline. Your pet stays calm while there is time, then gets harder and harder to ignore as the deadline gets close.

Coming soon to Google Play For Android 13 and up. Not available yet in the European Economic Area (EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) or the UK.

Important task? She won’t let it go.

What it does

Shows up outside the app

Android only, for now

When a deadline gets close, Buda appears on your screen even while you are in another app.

Tasks, subtasks, dates

Break a task into steps, give it a date and a time, and set reminders.

Reminders that escalate

Mark a task as important and the reminders get more insistent as its deadline nears. The strongest steps, ambush and yowl, stay off until you turn them on.

Buda’s little gifts

An important task due tomorrow? Buda leaves you gifts on your screen. We won’t say what kind, only that they don’t smell great. We don’t recommend putting the task off once that happens. Trust us.

Lists

Shopping or packing lists, kept apart from your tasks, with no nagging. Attach one to a task like “Weekend groceries”.

Your own cat

PeskyPet Plus

Pick a different cat, or have your own cat made from a photo. Buda stays on as the manager.

Everything else on this page is free. PeskyPet Plus is one payment in the app, yours for good.

Your cat, as a PeskyPet

With Plus, a photo of your cat becomes a pet that lives in the app. Here are a few real cats, and what came out of their photos.
