Phone Nap

What happens when the phone goes down?

A Phone Nap is Perchi's focus block: it starts three seconds after your phone rests on Perchi's back, runs 25 minutes by default (5 to 120), pauses when the phone is lifted, and ends as complete or partial, never as a punishment.

  1. STEP 1

    Plug in

    USB-C and no battery: any 5 V phone charger works. Perchi shows a pairing code on its face and you pair from a browser, with nothing to install.

  2. STEP 2

    Rest your phone on its back

    A three-second confirmation ring, then a focus block: 25 minutes by default, any length from 5 to 120. A thin ring fills around the face while Perchi knits a scarf, grows a sprout or builds a tower in five stages.

  3. STEP 3

    Lift it, and Perchi pauses

    You get the look. Put the phone back within 60 seconds and it sighs and carries on; stay away longer and the block ends as partial, every finished stage kept. Finish one and you get silent confetti, a proud face and streak plus one.

Every rule and default, in order, is on How Phone Nap works. The definition on its own lives at What is a Phone Nap? No phone at hand? Hold the head for 3 seconds and a block starts anyway.

Moments

Real wins, not random animations

Both devices react to things that actually happened in your accounts. On Perchi the face changes mood first, then a small card slides in beside it; on Perchi Matrix the number itself lands, with a badge that says how old it is. 60+ integrations, 70+ apps, one library.

On Perchi, the face reacts first

  • A Razorpay or Stripe payment lands

    The face goes into party mode, with a cha-ching animation.

  • A subscriber or follower milestone

    The face goes love-struck.

  • A green build

    The face goes proud.

  • A red build

    The face goes worried.

  • A new GitHub star

    The face goes proud.

  • A calendar event in 5 minutes

    The face goes curious.

  • A message from a public link

    The face goes into a blush, and the message sits beside it.

During a Phone Nap, moments wait until the block ends: do-not-disturb is on by default, so your own wins never break your focus.

On Perchi Matrix, the number itself lands

Webhook events such as a payment or a finished build land in under a second; polled counts refresh on a schedule and carry a freshness badge. A YouTube count is marked with a ~ because YouTube rounds above 1,000, and when data expires the display draws -- rather than an old number. Celebrations are 14 pixel effects, from confetti to a rocket; none of them make a sound.

60+ integrations, 70+ apps, one library

  • Creators

    YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, Patreon, Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee.

  • Commerce and analytics

    Stripe, Razorpay, Shopify, Gumroad, RevenueCat, Plausible and Umami.

  • Developers

    GitHub stars, followers and Actions, GitLab, npm, Vercel, Netlify, Sentry, UptimeRobot, Better Stack, Hacker News, any JSON URL and any webhook.

  • Productivity

    Next event from any iCal link, focus timer, countdown, weather, sunrise and sunset, next public holiday.

  • Smart home

    Home Assistant by MQTT discovery, the local API, and a value app for anything an automation can push.

  • Fun and data

    Desk pet, pixel art, Last.fm, daily quote, exchange rates, F1, the ISS, aurora and earthquakes.

  • Built in

    Clock, date, text and countdown, all of which work offline.

37 apps need no account at all; Spotify, Strava and X need your own developer key; Instagram, Threads, TikTok and Google Calendar follow after provider approval. Browse every app.

The honest table

How is Perchi different from Screen Time, a focus app or a plain stand?

Perchi is the only one of these that starts by itself when the phone goes down and stays in view once the app is closed. It is also the only one that never blocks anything and only helps at a desk. Both halves are true, so both are in the table.

Longevity

Ours to keep

Both devices are built so the things that matter cannot be taken from you: the core loop runs on the device, the local API and MQTT keep working on your LAN without our servers, and every firmware update is signed. Nothing here needs a subscription to stay on.

  • No subscription needed

    The dashboard, the app library, firmware updates and the local API come with the device. There is no subscription for anything either device does on the day you buy it; optional plans exist only for studios running many displays.

  • Works offline

    Perchi's face, Phone Nap, streaks and clock run on the device, and finished blocks sync later. Perchi Matrix keeps its clock, timers, countdowns, text and cached values, and marks a stale number instead of faking one.

  • A local API and MQTT on your LAN

    An authenticated, AWTRIX-3-compatible local API and MQTT with Home Assistant discovery keep working on your network without our servers. Off by default: you switch it on per device and get a token once.

  • Signed firmware updates

    Every update is signed with a key that never touches our servers. The device trial-boots the new image and rolls back by itself if it cannot connect, and staged rollouts halt themselves when failures rise.

  • Open shell files, to be published

    Perchi comes in the Classic shell at launch; Cat ears and Robot follow later. The print files are to be published under an open licence, and touch is designed to work through 2 to 3 mm of printed PLA or PETG.

  • No camera, no microphone

    Neither device has a camera, a microphone or a speaker. Raw touch and phone-presence readings never leave Perchi; only block events sync to your dashboard, and focus rooms share presence, never content.

Why we made these

A note from the team in Bengaluru

We started MyPerchi because the phone on the desk was winning. Focus apps live inside the thing they are meant to protect you from, desk pets perform instead of helping, and number displays only show numbers. We wanted a small creature that is on your side: it holds your phone, starts a focus block when you put it down, and celebrates the wins that actually happened in your day.

Every omission is a decision. No microphone, no camera and no speaker, so it is calm enough to sit next to for 8 hours and there is nothing to spy with. No battery, so it is never on 3 percent. No AI, because a face that reacts to real events is more honest than one that pretends to talk. No subscription, because a desk object should not come with a monthly bill.

Perchi Matrix came from the same desk: we wanted sales, builds and subscriber counts in a box we owned, on our own network, without another tab or another plan. Both devices run Perchi OS, share one dashboard, and are designed so that a shutdown on our side cannot brick them.

We build in small batches in Bengaluru and bench-test every unit before it leaves. If a date moves, you hear it from us first, with the reason. If anything on this site is unclear, write to hello@myperchi.com; we read everything.

Questions people ask first

Short answers to what a first-time visitor asks. Each answer is the one we would give you by email.

What is MyPerchi and which device is for me?

MyPerchi is a small hardware company in India that makes two desk devices. Perchi (₹2,999) is for you if your phone is the problem: a face that holds the phone, starts a focus block when you put it down and celebrates real wins from your accounts. Perchi Matrix (₹4,499) is for you if you want live numbers on the desk: 70+ apps, Home Assistant and a local API. Both share one dashboard and one app library, so they work side by side.

Where is MyPerchi based and where do you ship?

MyPerchi is based in Bengaluru, India, and both devices are designed and assembled in Bengaluru. India ships first, to every serviceable pincode, with Shiprocket and a GST invoice. International shipping opens with the global batch. Reserve with your country and we will confirm shipping by email.

Does either device need an app or a subscription?

No. Pairing and settings happen in a web dashboard from any browser: over Bluetooth from Chrome or Edge on a computer or Chrome on Android, with a 6-digit code shown on the device, or over Wi-Fi with a code from an iPhone. There is no subscription for anything either device does; optional plans exist only for studios running many displays.

Do they work offline?

Yes, for the core. Perchi's face, Phone Nap, streaks, clock and sleep modes run on the device with no Wi-Fi, and blocks finished offline sync when it reconnects. Perchi Matrix keeps its clock, timers, countdowns, text and cached values, and marks stale numbers instead of faking them. Moments from apps, focus rooms, the wardrobe and reports need the dashboard.

Can I use both devices with one account?

Yes. One dashboard, one app library and any number of devices in one workspace; the free plan covers 10 displays. An app you install once can show its number on Perchi Matrix and raise a moment on Perchi's face, and Home Assistant can talk to both.

How do I reserve one?

Pick Perchi, Perchi for two or Perchi Matrix on the reserve page and leave your email. No payment today. We email a checkout link when your unit is bench-tested; current estimated wait 2 to 3 weeks from the day you reserve. Cancel any time before then.

What did you leave out of both devices on purpose?

A battery, a speaker, a microphone, a camera, AI and a subscription. Perchi is USB-C powered and silent; Perchi Matrix runs from a 5 V supply, and its cha-ching is a pixel animation rather than a sound. The dashboard is a web app, so there is no native app to install either.

What is a moment?

A moment is Perchi's reaction to a real event from one of your apps: the face changes mood first, then a small card with the value slides in beside it. A payment makes it party, a follower milestone makes it love-struck, a green build makes it proud and a red one worried; during a Phone Nap, moments wait until the block ends. On Perchi Matrix the same event lands as the number itself, with one of 14 celebration effects.
