Only for Mac

Take a little break with a little company. Cat Break brings a cat, a kitten, or three Shiba puppies onto your screen. Watch them play or settle down, give them a gentle pet, and return to work whenever you’re ready. CHOOSE YOUR COMPANION Choose an orange cat, a cream tabby cat, a gray tabby kitten, three Shiba puppies, or the new calico cat. The calico jumps down from the top of your screen, chases its tail, and stays nearby for a quiet break. Your choice applies to the next break. Turn on random selection to meet a different companion from the previous break. MAKE TIME FOR A PAUSE Set a reminder interval from 1 to 1,440 minutes and a break length from 1 to 60 minutes. Choose clock-based or start-based reminders, set quiet hours, or pause reminders. Optional working hours limit automatic reminders to your chosen days and times. The menu bar shows the time remaining and reminder status. A MOMENT TO CONNECT Once your companion has settled, select Pet and move the pointer over the animal or click it. Use one finger on a trackpad or a mouse. Instructions stay visible while petting is enabled. Supported arrival sounds and petting sounds can be adjusted separately for each companion. The calico takes a silent break; reactions vary by animal. YOU STAY IN CONTROL Dismiss ends the break immediately. Snooze brings a reminder back in 10 minutes. Reduce Motion uses a still image. The app does not block your work or change system gestures. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ads, or usage analytics. Settings stay on your Mac. New break history no longer accumulates, and records from previous versions are preserved. The app does not capture screen content or store raw input. Requires macOS 15 or later. English and Korean.
