Turn your real pet into a Boko
Take a photo of your own cat or dog and Boko turns it into an animated pixel pet. Or adopt one of 36 pets: cats, dogs, and exotic pets like a capybara, a fox or a penguin.
Focus quests: you work, it adventures
Start a timer from 5 to 120 minutes, add your tasks, and your pet sets off on an adventure. It comes back with XP, moons and sometimes a new hat. The countdown waits in the Dynamic Island, so you don't need to unlock your phone.
Care for it every day, like a Tamagotchi
Feed it, pat it and play with it. Just like a Tamagotchi, hunger and happiness drop over time, even while you're away, so your pet looks forward to seeing you. Seven mini-games, a daily puzzle, morning and goodnight rituals, and 60+ achievements.
Better with friends
Invite friends and see their pets on your Friend Tree. Send snacks, visit their pets, and race each other's scores in the mini-games.

BEST VIRTUAL PET GAME EVER
“I've played a lot of virtual pet games but this one is one of the best ones. It has no ads (but most of the other ones also don't have ads), it has cute pets, I have a golden retriever irl and I have one in this game, and it also has cute app icons.”
great app !!
“this app is really well made and has the cutest features! the developer is such a sweet person and listens to feature requests by answering all emails he receives. out of other dynamic pet apps, this app is by far the best app i’ve tried since its doesn’t force you into paying and has the cutest theme!”
Perfect

Questions
What is Boko?
Boko is a free Tamagotchi-style virtual pet app for iPhone and iPad. A tiny pixel pet lives in your Dynamic Island, on your Lock Screen and in your widgets. Adopt a cat or a dog, or turn a photo of your own pet into a pixel Boko, then feed it, play with it and take it on focus quests while you study or work.
Is Boko like a Tamagotchi?
Yes. Boko is a Tamagotchi-style digital pet for iPhone: you feed it, play with it and keep it happy, its needs drop over time, and it grows and levels up the more you care for it. Unlike a keychain Tamagotchi it lives right on your phone, walking in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen, and it adds focus quests, friends, mini-games and custom pets made from a photo of your real pet.
Is there a Tamagotchi app for iPhone?
Boko is a free Tamagotchi-style virtual pet app for iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 or later), with no ads. Your pet lives in the Dynamic Island as a Live Activity, on the Lock Screen and in Home Screen widgets, so you can check on it without opening the app, the way you'd glance at a Tamagotchi. Boko is not an official Tamagotchi product.
Is Boko free?
Yes. Boko is free to download and play, with no ads. An optional Premium subscription unlocks every world, the exotic pets, Premium hats and decorations, and monthly Pet Tokens for custom pets.
Can I put a virtual pet in my iPhone's Dynamic Island?
Yes, that's what Boko is built around. Once you adopt a pet it runs as a Live Activity, so it walks in the Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro and later, and on the Lock Screen of any iPhone running iOS 17 or later.
