How CatNap Works
Block your distracting apps. Scan your cat to unlock. It's that simple—and that effective.
Register Your Cat
Take 3+ photos of your cat from different angles. CatNap's AI learns to recognize YOUR specific cat—not just any cat photo. Each registered cat becomes a 'CatKey' that can unlock your apps.
Block Your Apps
Choose which apps distract you most. TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, games—lock them down. CatNap uses Apple's Screen Time API for strong enforcement that you can't easily bypass.
Scan to Unlock
When you want to use a blocked app, point your camera at your cat. CatNap's AI verifies it's really your cat (not a photo or someone else's cat). Once verified, your apps unlock for a set time.
Enjoy Focus Time
You've traded doom-scrolling for cat time. Your apps are unlocked, but more importantly, you've broken the automatic reach-scroll habit. Pet your cat, take a breath, and use your apps intentionally.
More Than Just Blocking
Leaderboards
Compete with friends to see who blocks the most screen time. Weekly rankings show cumulative 'guard time'—the total time your cats have blocked your apps.
Contracts
Set screen time goals and invite friends as witnesses. If you break your contract, they get notified. Social accountability makes habits stick.
