What is Productivity Pet?

Productivity Pet is a Chrome extension that engages users in productivity tasks to care for a digital pet. Through to-do tasks, website blockers, and work/break timers, users build discipline, happiness, and hunger stats, which influence their pet’s status. A well taken care of pet earns coins that can be spent in the shop, while an uncared-for one may run away when the discipline reaches zero!

Summary

Productivity Pet allows users to create a digital pet that they can take care of through being productive. This is done using stats for discipline, happiness and hunger. When discipline hits 0, your pet runs away!

The extension features many features for users to be productive including:

  • A todo list
  • A website blocker (in the options page). Websites will only be blocked during work time
  • Work / Break Timers that alternate and display a badge on the extension to show users whether it's time for a break or work

To take care of the pet, users can buy food from the shop using coins earned through completing todos as well as playing a minigame to keep the pet's happiness up. If happiness or hunger are at 0 the pet will start losing discipline so watch out!
