PurrPal - Your Feline Sleep Companion, Fall asleep to the healing sound of a purring cat 🐱💤

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Evans, and I made PurrPal because I missed my cat.

The Problem 🐱

I travel a lot for work. My cat Shiyi (十一) stays home with family.

The hardest part isn't the flights or the time zones—it's sleeping

without her purring beside me.

The Science 🧠

Cat purrs vibrate at 25-150 Hz, which studies show can:

- Reduce stress and anxiety

- Lower blood pressure

- Help you fall asleep faster

- Promote bone healing (yes, really!)

The Solution 💜

PurrPal plays authentic cat purring sounds to help you sleep.

No subscriptions. No tracking. No pressure.

Just pure, gentle companionship.

What Makes It Different ✨

- Privacy-first: Zero data collection

- Free forever: Core features will always be free (3 cat purrs, sleep detection, history)

- Beautiful design: Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics

- Smart sleep detection: Uses motion sensors to know when you've fallen asleep

- Live Activities: Works with Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro+

- Optional Premium: Want YOUR cat's purr? Premium lets you record and use it ($6.99, one-time)

Design Philosophy 🎨

Inspired by wabi-sabi—the Japanese concept of finding beauty in

simplicity and imperfection. Every feature asks: "Does this help

you sleep, or does it add stress?"

Tech Stack 💻

- SwiftUI with iOS 17-26 compatibility

- AVAudioEngine for seamless audio looping

- CoreMotion for sleep detection

- Live Activities for Dynamic Island

Would love your feedback! 🙏

P.S. Here's Shiyi, the real star of the show 🐱
