The Solution

Meet Otomo: A tiny, screen-free pet fueled by real music.

No iPads on the music stand. No subscription apps. No more playing the “practice police.” Otomo is a dedicated pocket-sized companion that sits by your child's instrument and turns daily practice into a game they actually ask to play.

Animated screen capture of the pet hamster dancing on the device's display while it hears piano — Real screen capture from our working prototype—watch the hamster dance as it hears piano notes in real time.

It hears real practice, not noise. Built-in pitch and rhythm detection recognizes when your child is genuinely playing their instrument—so random button-mashing or banging a single key won't fool it.
Music feeds the hamster. Every minute of focused practice earns treats, unlocks cozy room upgrades, and keeps their digital buddy happy and dancing.
Gentle streaks, zero meltdowns. If your child misses a day, the pet gets sleepy—never sick or punitive. It rewards consistency without punishing busy family nights.
100% offline & private. Everything happens right on the device. There is no Wi-Fi required, no cloud recording, and zero YouTube or gaming distractions.

Here's the problem

Getting your child to practise shouldn't cost you your relationship.

Somewhere along the way I stopped being the parent who's proud of my child's music and became the one who enforces it.

Things I've tried:

Sticker charts
Timers and countdowns
Rewards for finishing the week
Reminders (so many reminders)
Sitting beside them for every minute
Leaving them to it

Sound familiar?
