Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector

If you want something extremely low effort and extremely cute, Neko Atsume is a classic for a reason. You place toys and food in your yard, close the app, and then check back later to see which cats have stopped by to play. There are more than 40 different cats, including rare visitors that require specific items, and they all pose for photos you can save to an in-game album.

There’s no timer, no score, and no real objective beyond filling your Catbook and enjoying a bit of time with some cute cats. It fits perfectly into your busy schedule because you can check in for 30 seconds while waiting in line, snap a few photos, and then go back to whatever you were doing.

If you’ve ever wanted to be the neighborhood cat person but your landlord says no, this is the next best thing.
