iPhone

You open Instagram to relax. You close it feeling worse. The feed never gives your calm back. But a cat can. CatGate puts one small, quiet thing between you and the apps that drain you: pet a cat, slowly, gently, and then your social app opens. No willpower, no guilt. Just a cat deciding when you can start scrolling. How It Works 1. Pick the app you lose time to: Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, anything. 2. Next time you tap that app, a cat appears. Back turned. Waiting. 3. Stroke its back, steady and slow. Too fast? It ignores you. Just right? It slow-blinks. You pass. Subscription Required CatGate requires a subscription to unlock all cat breeds. Yearly: $59.99/year (best value, about $1.15/week). Subscriptions auto-renew. Manage in Account Settings.
