I built a cat & café to-do and habit tracker — Nekodo just launched on iOS
I'm a solo dev and I can't keep a cat where I live. That frustration turned into a product.
Nekodo is a to-do and habit tracker built around a cat café concept. The idea came from a simple problem: every productivity app I tried felt cold and lifeless. I just didn't want to open them.
There was another problem on top of that: I have ADHD, and keeping a separate habit tracker on top of a to-do app never worked for me. I'd forget one and end up using only the other. Combining to-dos and habits in one place finally made it click.
Beyond the cat vibe, I also wanted the kind of streak mechanic you see in Duolingo — something that makes you feel the weight of a daily check-in, not just log it and move on. The cat companion sits on top of that: something to actually care for that makes the daily routine feel worth showing up to.
What it is:
- To-do lists + habit tracking in one app
- Cat companion tied to your daily consistency
- Streak mechanics built into both to-dos and habits
- Cat café aesthetic throughout — cozy, not sterile
- Free to use, 7-day free trial — tried hard to keep feature restrictions minimal on the free tier
iOS only for now, but if it gets good reception, desktop is next.
What do you think — does the emotional hook actually make this worth switching to, or does it wear off fast?
