Write, Meow! Support

Frequently asked questions

Where is my writing stored?

Your writing stays on this device. Write, Meow! has no account or server, so the developer cannot see or recover it.

How do I move to a new device?

In Settings, export a JSON backup. On the new device, choose Import or restore JSON and select that file. Keep the backup somewhere you trust until you confirm the restore. The backup holds your finished writing and favorites; drafts, fish, adopted cats, and settings stay on the old device, and special cats come back with Restore purchases.

Can I edit something after I finish it?

Yes. Open Notebook, choose a piece, and tap Edit writing. Its original date and prompt stay attached.

How do fish work?

You receive fish for a daily check-in, the first piece in each mode, and completing all three modes. Fish can open a fresh extra prompt or adopt a new cat. A blank page is always free. Fish cannot be bought or redeemed for money.

Can I change my cat after adopting?

Yes. Open Cats and tap Write with this cat on any cat you have adopted. Switch as often as you like; adopted cats stay yours.

What are the special cats, and how do I get them back on a new phone?

The Bengal, Persian, Maine Coon, and Sphynx come as one optional purchase and cannot be adopted with fish. On a new device, sign in with the same Apple ID or Google account and choose Settings → Restore purchases. Tips are thank-yous only and unlock nothing.

Why am I not receiving reminders?

Turn on Reminder in the app, then confirm notifications are allowed in your phone's system settings. Reminders are local and optional.

How do I add the widget?

Long-press the Home Screen, open the widget picker, search for Write, Meow!, and choose a size. The widget shows today's prompt and your streak from local app data.

How do I delete my data?

Delete individual pieces from their detail screen. To remove all local app data, export a backup if wanted and then uninstall the app. Device backups remain under your own platform backup settings.
