Virtual pet for couples
A virtual pet you raise together, on two iPhones.
Ourio is a couples app with a shared pet: one cat, Mochi, in one cozy room that lives on both of your iPhones. Feed her, pour her water, play, brush or pet her, and your partner sees it. She has four needs, six coats and never gets sick when you're busy.
How it works
Choose her coat
Grey tabby, ginger, cream, tuxedo, black or calico, and a name. Skip it and she stays Mochi.
Pair your phones
Your partner joins with your 10-character code. Now there's one cat, on two phones.
Look after her together
Whoever has a minute feeds, plays or pets her. The other sees it in the room and on their widget.
Six ways to look after her
Tap Mochi to open her card: her level, how many days she has been with you two, and four bars, Full, Rested, Playful and Loved. Each care action is a small hands-on moment that takes over the screen:
- Feed: tip the bag, scoop, or shake your phone to weigh kibble into her bowl on a kitchen scale.
- Water: hold to pour from a jug up to the line, then wipe up any spill.
- Play: drag a laser dot and watch her chase and pounce.
- Brush: stroke her back from head to tail until the fur flies.
- Pet: a quick stroke, also from a Control Center button without opening the app.
- Treat: a little extra, bought with coins.
A pet that never makes you feel guilty
Most virtual pets punish you for a busy week. Mochi doesn't. Her needs go down slowly, the wording stays kind and nothing ever turns red. She never gets sick, runs away or dies. Care is a way to say “I'm thinking of you”, not a chore list.
Say how you feel, without a conversation
“How are you?” lets each of you pick a mood (happy, sleepy, missing you or busy) and add a few words. Your partner sees it in the room and on their widget, with no thread to answer.
Furnish the room together
Coins you earn together buy furniture, decor and toys: a Cloud Armchair, a Mushroom Lamp, a Donut Bed, a Cat Tower. Place a piece and it appears on both phones; preview it in 3D first, and keep extras in your closet.
Questions
Is there a couples app where you take care of a pet together?
Yes. In Ourio you and your partner share one cat, Mochi, on two iPhones. Either of you can feed, water, play with, brush or pet her, and the other sees it.
Can Mochi get sick, run away or die?
No. Her needs go down slowly and the wording stays gentle. A busy week never hurts her.
Does each of us get our own cat?
No. There is one cat and one room per couple, and both phones always show the same Mochi.
Is the virtual pet free?
Yes. Ourio is free with no in-app purchases; even her treats and furniture are bought with coins you earn together.
