Description
Miso is a self-care app where a little cat grows as you take small steps.
Long description
Miso: Little Cat, Small Steps is a gentle self-care app for teens and adults. Each day you check in with how much energy you have (Running on empty, Getting by or Feeling good), and Miso suggests one small thing that fits. Finishing things fills Miso's energy, sends Miso on little adventures that bring home keepsakes, earns treats for outfits and room things, and helps Miso grow from kitten to grown cat. Everything that helps you look after yourself is free; Miso Plus is an optional subscription for extra cozy looks, room themes and sounds. Everything stays on your phone, with no account needed.
