Purrgress (Goal Based Virtual Pet Cat)
· v1.0.0
About
PURR YOUR WAY THROUGH THE DAY. GROW A FOREST. STAY MOTIVATED.
Purrgress is a playful Garmin watch face that turns your daily fitness progress into an indoor cat companion. As you work toward your selected goals, your watch face moves from sleepy kitten to alert kitten, playful young cat, and finally a calm adult cat.
If all selected goals are currently met, Purrgress shows a warm happy cat. If you fall behind, the cat becomes sleepy, bored, or scruffy in a messy room until the next day gives you a fresh start.
For every purchase of Purrgress, we plant a real tree on your behalf.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How are activity minutes calculated?
A: The app uses your weekly activity minutes goal from Garmin Connect and divides it by 7 for a daily target. If you're behind for the week, the target increases to help you catch up.
~
Q: How do the goal progress marks work?
A: They show your configured goals visually:
• 1 goal: tick marks form a single arc
• 2 goals: first goal left arc, second right
• 3 goals: first goal left arc, second right, and third on the bottom
~
Q: How does the cat progress?
A: Purrgress uses your selected goals to decide the lifecycle stage. If you choose more than one growth goal, the lowest-progress goal controls the stage.
~
Q: Why does it not become a full happy cat immediately when I hit a goal early?
A: The watch face uses time-of-day pacing. This keeps the progression steady and makes the cat feel like a day-long companion rather than a one-off badge.
~
Q: What happens if I miss my goals?
A: The cat becomes sleepy, bored, or scruffy in a messy room. The missed-goal state stays until the next daily reset, when a fresh sleepy kitten begins the day.
~
Q: What happens when all my selected goals are met?
A: Purrgress shows the warmer happy purring cat.
~
Q: What can the ring indicator show?
A: Choose from Stress, Body Battery, Recovery Time, or Time-only. It changes colour to indicate value levels:
• Stress: changes at 50%, 70%, 90%
• Body Battery: changes at 50%, 30%, 10%
• Recovery Time: changes as time drops from 1 day to 1 hour to 1 minute
~
Q: Does a tree really get planted?
A: Yes. For every purchase of Purrgress, we plant a real tree on your behalf.
