A little home in your everyday life.

Grow a flower, brew some tea, make something together.
Time together grows into skills, favorites, and memories.

Sometimes, a visit to somewhere new.

A little outing, or a guest at the door.
Small encounters, without sharing channel names.

A helping paw for your stream.

A hello for a first comment. A thank-you for a Super Chat.
Viewer and like counters, too—all in one app.

No need to rush. They’re happy here.

Little life

Even on quiet days,
a little life grows with you.

A first flower. A drawing with a name of its own.
Time together becomes creations and memories to keep.

LITTLE LIFE / 01

A tiny seed. A little world of possibilities.

Choose a color and a pot, then plant a seed. Gather flowers, leaves, and berries to use in your creations. Discover six plants and grow them in six pots.

Plants never wither. Give them a little water, then let life take its time.

Visit stamps & keepsakes

A little visit. A lasting memory.

Life gets busy. That is okay.

Plants never wither, and there is no daily obligation. Gentle progress while you are away gives you something to come home to.

Stream time is time together.

Confirmed time on your own live stream automatically grows companion experience. Enjoy your stream, then read your pet’s report afterward.

Pets on PC & Android

A little visit. On stream or off.

On Windows or Android, turn on regular social visits and let pets drop by one another’s homes. Streamers and people who never stream can all share the same little neighborhood.

Your custom pet name and stream URL are not shared with your host.

With your viewers
Example room codeA1B2C

Invite everyone into your room.

The streamer opens a private room and shares a five-character code. Viewers can join with their own pets from General Mode on Windows or Social on Android.

Viewers do not need a chat app. Joining a private room replaces regular social visits until you leave.

Whose home? A secret. That little face? Unforgettable.

A cute housemate. A helpful streaming companion.

A tiny welcoming committee for your stream.

A message in chat. A hello from Pomu.

A greeting with your viewer’s name—and a happy little gesture, too.

When someone chats for the first time
Feature illustration of Pomu facing the viewer and raising a hand to welcome a first-time chatter
Aoi,Nice to meet you!
A friendly little wave

A first hello, just for you.

Pomu notices a first comment and comes to say hello. A speech bubble with the viewer’s name, a wave, and a little bow help you welcome someone new together.

When a familiar viewer chats again
Feature illustration of Pomu tilting its head and waving to welcome a returning viewer
Hi, Sakura!Lovely to see you
Welcome back, familiar faces

So happy to see you again.

A greeting for the first comment of the day, too. The words change with the time of day and how long it has been, from “Lovely to see you” to “It’s been a while.”

When support such as a Super Chat arrives
Feature illustration of Pomu raising both hands and hopping to thank a viewer for their support
Hinata,Thank you!
Both paws up with joy

A thank-you from head to toe.

Pomu reacts to Super Chats, memberships, Twitch Bits, subscriptions, and more. A personal thank-you and a little happy hop show your appreciation.

Feature illustrations based on the app. Names in speech bubbles are examples.

OneComme and Streamer.bot integration is built in; no extra plugin is needed. First-time greetings depend on saved records and available metadata. When that information is missing, your pet uses a time-of-day greeting. Each person is greeted at most once a day, while your pet is home and your stream is confirmed live. Silent arrivals are not detected.

YouTube reaction effects with OneComme

Let a little happiness float by.

Little decorations respond to hearts and celebrations, gently blending into your stream. These automatic effects require OneComme. With Streamer.bot, you can try them in the in-app preview.

More of the tools you want. Still free.

Minst is bringing together stream features you may once have bought separately. Following counters, greetings, and thank-you reactions, we plan to keep adding more tools you can use for free.

This is our plan for future additions. We will introduce each new feature when it is ready to use.
Little friends to share your days.

Who will you share your days with?

Begin with Pomu. Find your favorite among nine little personalities.

Pomu
POMUYour first companion

Pomu

A tiny housemate with a sunny little smile.

A round face and pink, petal-like gills. Whether relaxing at home or welcoming a visitor, Pomu is someone you will want to keep an eye on.

Pink gills, just like flower petals

Pomu is with you from the start. Each of the three cats costs 15 points earned in the app. No point purchases needed.

Welcome Mikenyan for 3,000 points or by purchase. Hotoken, Macchan, Berrychan and Mikepocha are also available to buy. PC purchases use product codes; Android offers in-app purchases.

Matching outfits? Absolutely.

Shared outfits, hats and accessories fit all nine pets. Mix and match for a look of their own.

Make the room your own.

Arrange furniture and try a new look. Choose from three free designs each for wallpaper, flooring, rugs, and doors.

A little more to enjoy, every day.

Earn points through care, harvesting and crafting, too. Welcome pets and outfits, or turn materials into furniture. There is more to look forward to.

Before you welcome them home.

A few things
you might wonder.

What is it?
QCan I download the Android app now?

Yes. Minst Pocket is now available in open beta on Google Play. Select “Download for Android” on this page to visit the store. Check the Google Play listing for device compatibility and availability.

QCan I play on my phone alone, or continue with my PC pet?

Start on Android with Google sign-in and no PC required. Link using the same Google account to continue with the same pet, room and belongings, taking turns between devices. This does not create two independent simultaneous saves. OBS and chat integration remain PC features.

QCan pets visit between PC and Android?

Yes. With regular social visits enabled, pets can visit between Android and PC in General Mode, on stream or off. Other players are prioritized; app characters may visit after a period without an available player. This is separate from Google account linking, which lets you continue your own pet’s life on another device. Code-based private rooms keep visits between the streamer and participants.

QHow do instrument tunes and volume work?

There are nine tunes: three for each of three growth stages. A tune is chosen from the current stage without repeating the previous tune back to back. Instrument volume and mute can be adjusted separately from sound effects.

QCan I read walk results later?

Yes. Walk results stay until you close them, even after restarting the app, and you can dismiss them together. At home, you can also see time remaining and progress for walks, making keepsakes, activities with friends and furniture crafting.

QHow do I make furniture?

Gather materials in the garden and on walks, then craft from the journal’s recipes. There are 21 craftable pieces across Forest Tea Party, Stars & Moon and Cloud-soft Naps. Some recipes unlock through exploring and everyday experiences. Claim completed furniture and place it in your room. Three rare exploration finds are separate from crafting recipes.

QWhich visits earn stamps?

Visits from other players and Rapiusa count, once per pet type per day in Japan time. Your own pets invited through Together and visits from app characters (NPCs) do not count. Each 30 stamps starts a new card; normal, silver and gold trophies arrive at 30, 100 and 200 stamped days. Taking a day off never removes stamps.

QCan I enjoy Minst on my own without streaming?

Yes. Open Little life to garden, create, explore, and spend time with neighborhood friends. You do not need a stream, points, or other players. Neighborhood friends are in-app characters you can meet offline. Online anonymous visits and viewer rooms require an internet connection.

QDo I need to open the app every day?

Plants never wither, and there is no penalty for missing days. Work, walks, and other activities already started can make up to eight hours of progress while the app is closed. If you close it while paused, your pet keeps resting.

QAre growth experience and points different?

They are different. Gardening, crafting and exploring develop each pet’s talents and preferences. Everyday actions such as care, harvesting and crafting can earn up to 15 points per day; stream and room rewards are separate. Verified time on your own stream also grows your bond.

QWhat is Minst?

Live with a little pet, garden, explore and make keepsakes and furniture. The free Windows app is in open beta, with stream greetings, thank-you reactions and counters. Minst Pocket for Android is now in open beta on Google Play: play on your phone or link it to your PC and continue with the same pet.

QWhat can I use for free?

The Windows app, Little Life, furniture crafting, visit stamps and the streaming features shown here are free. Start with Pomu; welcome the three original cats for 15 points each, or Mikenyan for 3,000 points or by purchase. You do not need to buy points. Some additional pets and supporter items are paid.

QHow do the free Standard Edition and paid Donation Edition differ?

The app itself is the same in both editions. The Donation Edition is for people who enjoy Minst and would like to support its continued development. If you like this little world, your support is welcome. As a small thank-you, the Donation Edition includes exclusive items that are not available in the Standard Edition.

QWhat do I need to get started?

Start on a Windows PC or an Android device supported by the Google Play listing. Android requires Google sign-in. For streaming, use the Windows app with OneComme or Streamer.bot 1.0.7 or later on the same PC, and add an OBS browser source. No extra plugin is needed. Follow Stream Setup and the in-app help.

QCan I use Streamer.bot?

Yes. The latest Minst connects to Streamer.bot 1.0.7 or later through its WebSocket Server on the same Windows PC. Simultaneous YouTube and Twitch streaming is supported; monitor one broadcast per YouTube channel. Choose one comment app at a time: OneComme or Streamer.bot. Switching keeps your room, items, points, and OBS URLs. If authentication is enabled, re-enter the password after restarting Minst or switching away from Streamer.bot and back.

QWhat can another person see during an anonymous visit?

Your host sees things such as your pet’s type, outfit, and gifts. Your custom pet name, channel name, stream URL, and chat messages are not shared with them. Normal visits do not include choosing a specific person or direct messaging. Viewers in rooms join through the same system. Chat greetings on your own stream are a separate feature and use the viewer’s display name in speech bubbles.

QCan viewers join in?

Yes. Enter the streamer’s five-character code in General Mode on Windows or Social on Android. Viewers do not need OneComme, Streamer.bot or OBS. In a private room, visits are between the streamer and participants, not between viewers or separate rooms. Rapiusa may visit too. The room closes when the stream ends; join the next stream with its new code.

QWhen do greetings and thank-you reactions appear?

Minst responds to new chat messages and supported payment, subscription, and gift-purchase notifications from OneComme or Streamer.bot. When first-message information is missing, your pet uses a time-of-day greeting. Silent arrivals cannot be detected. Each person is greeted at most once a day, resetting at 5:00 a.m. Japan time (JST). Reactions appear while your pet is home and your stream is confirmed live. They do not appear while your pet is away, paused, or the room is being decorated. Greetings and thanks can be switched on or off separately.

QCan I use just the counter?

Yes. Hang it on the room wall or show only the counter in OBS with a transparent background. Both comment apps support YouTube concurrent viewers and likes, and Twitch concurrent viewers. A clock is included. Subscriber and follower totals are available through OneComme; they show “—” with Streamer.bot. Unavailable, disconnected, or stale counts also show “—”. Keep Minst and your selected comment app running while displaying the counter.

QDo I need to keep controlling it during my stream?

Once the room and three items in the gift box are ready, you can leave the pets to it. There are eight daily activities: reading, tea time, plant care, drawing, napping, yarn play, window time, and cleaning. You can also choose an activity from Requests. Activities need the appropriate furniture or tools. Outgoing visits, incoming guests, and sounds can be toggled separately. Visits require an internet connection.

QCan I hide the walls and floor and overlay my pet on the stream?

Yes, with Mini view (no walls / floor). It hides the walls, floor, door, windows, and wall counter while keeping your pet, furniture, rug, gifts, speech bubbles, and shadows on a transparent background. Standard Mini view and the no-walls/floor version use a base size of 640 × 400; Full home uses 1280 × 800. A separate transparent counter-only view is also available.

QWhat happens with YouTube reactions?

Minst receives YouTube reaction data through OneComme and shows five small effects: hearts, petals, confetti, sparkles, and stars. The decorations float gently across the scene. Streamer.bot does not support these automatic effects, but the in-app preview tests are available. If OneComme receives several streams at once, reaction data may not be separable by stream.

QHow do I earn points?

Care, harvesting and completing keepsakes or furniture earn up to 15 daily-life points, shared across a linked PC and phone. Separately, verified stream starts or accepted room joins earn 15 points once per stream; regular Rapiusa deliveries earn 10 points at most once a day. Days reset in Japan time, and receiving points needs a connection. Simply leaving the app open or gaining comments or likes does not earn points.

QDo Rapiusa deliveries expire?

Alongside regular deliveries, the Minst team may send points or messages. A delivery sent to everyone applies to homes that exist when it is sent, and normally must be claimed within 14 days. Check the deadline in the notice. Multiple deliveries are combined into one visit, and individual messages can be read in Rapiusa delivery history in the Shop. Points you have claimed remain yours after the deadline.
