iPhone
Can't stop doomscrolling? Let a cat help. Pet or watch to reset your screen time, and collect more stamps the longer you keep it up.
Turn screen time into cat time.
NyanLock locks the apps you doomscroll and lets you unlock them by spending a moment with a cat. Because it's delightful instead of restrictive, it's a screen-time habit you'll actually keep.
WHO IT'S FOR
- You lose hours to social media and videos before you notice
- You want to cut down on your phone, but willpower alone never lasts
- You love cats and could use a little calm
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the apps you want to limit and lock them
2. Open a locked app and a friendly block screen appears
3. To unlock, just "pet a cat" or "watch a cat video"
TWO WAYS TO UNLOCK WITH A CAT
- Pet to Unlock: stroke a real cat on camera through the screen. No cat at home? You can pet a cat video instead.
- Watch to Unlock: simply enjoy adorable cat clips for a little while.
BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING
- Unlock on consecutive days to grow your streak and earn milestone stamps
- Collect a stamp on your calendar every day you unlock
- See your "Cat Time" (time spent with cats) grow on a chart
