A cat that waves all day
The raised paw waves on its own, smoothly, in a soft flat-vector style with a moon-gate scene behind it.
Tap for luck
Each tap gives +1 luck (福 / 财 / 运 / 喜), a bell, coins and a luck boost that speeds up the wave.

Why it exists
A small daily ritual of luck.
Hoki is a waving lucky cat (招财猫) for your home screen and your desktop.
Every tap makes the paw wave faster and the glow brighter.
How it works
Get Hoki
- 1
Open it
Go to juw12.github.io/hoki on your phone or computer.
- 2

Or put it on your desktop
On Windows, paste one line into PowerShell.
What's inside
What Hoki does.
Lucky numbers
8 发, 28, 88, 168 一路发, 288, 888, 1688 and 8888 trigger a big bell and a blessing.
Today and all time
Counts your luck for today and all time, and shows the next lucky number to reach.
On your phone
Android: a real home-screen widget. The cat waves on your home screen and a tap adds luck. iPhone: Add to Home Screen for a full-screen Hoki that works offline.
On your Windows desktop
A transparent, always-on-top widget draws the same cat. Click for luck, drag to move, right-click for options.

Good to know
Honest limits.
Straight from the README, so you know what you're getting before you try it.
- iPhone home-screen widgets need an App Store app, so on iPhone Hoki installs as a full-screen home-screen app instead.
- The Android widget installs from GitHub, not the Play Store, so Android asks you to allow the install once.
- The desktop widget is for Windows only.

Questions
Good questions.
What does it run on?
PWA, Windows widget, Android widget. You can try it in the browser with nothing to install.
How do I get it running?
The commands in the “Windows desktop widget” box above come straight from the README. Paste them into a terminal; the README covers options and troubleshooting.
Where does my data go?
Your counts are saved only on your device.
Does it need admin rights on Windows?
No. There is no install wizard: it is one PowerShell + WPF script that draws the same cat as the web app.
How do I uninstall the desktop widget?
Right-click the cat and choose Quit, then delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hoki, %APPDATA%\Hoki and the Start menu shortcut "Hoki Lucky Cat".
Can I show just the cat?
Yes. juw12.github.io/hoki/?widget shows a cat-only view with a transparent background, for a browser side panel or a live-wallpaper tool.
What doesn't it do yet?
iPhone home-screen widgets need an App Store app, so on iPhone Hoki installs as a full-screen home-screen app instead. The Android widget installs from GitHub, not the Play Store, so Android asks you to allow the install once.
Is it finished?
Not yet: it's marked “live” and still changing. The README always has the current state.
