Craving Cat helps you interrupt compulsive app use before it turns into another long scroll.
Instead of guilt or shame, it gives you a gentle pause right when you need it: when you are about to reopen the apps you keep getting stuck in.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Choose the apps that are hardest to stop
• Set a daily total limit and a single-session limit for each app
• Use Apple's Screen Time protection to block impulse re-entry
• Long-press the cat for a brief breathing reset
• Keep setup free, then unlock native protection with trial, monthly, or one-time access
WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT
Craving Cat is built for digital wellbeing, not self-judgment. No shame-driven charts. No productivity theater. Just a real pause, a softer visual language, and a breathing moment that helps you step out of autopilot.
BEST FOR
• Social media doomscrolling
• Repeated impulse opens
• Late-night overuse
• People who want a kinder app blocker
Craving Cat uses Apple's Screen Time APIs. You choose what to manage, and your data stays on-device.
