Cat GateKeeper - Screen Time & Doomscroll Blocker

Stop doomscrolling on social media with vigilant animated cat guardians that enforce healthy screen time breaks.

Tired of opening a distracting website for "just 5 minutes" and losing an hour to endless scrolling? Meet Cat GateKeeper — your vigilant, adorable digital companion dedicated to protecting your time, focus, and productivity. Inspired by the screen-gatekeeper concept, Cat GateKeeper monitors your active browsing time on websites you choose. When your preset limit is reached, your companion steps in with an animated takeover, fun sound effects, and a mandatory break countdown that gently encourages you to step away. CHOOSE YOUR FAITHFUL GUARDIAN COMPANION * Playful Cat: Alert, curious, and always ready to interrupt endless scrolling. * Puppy Dog: A loyal, cheerful buddy that reminds you to stretch, hydrate, and take a breather. * Gentle Donkey: Calm, steady, and patient to help keep your browsing balanced. KEY FEATURES 1. Active Screen-Time Tracking Accurately measures time while you are actively focused on a monitored tab. Tracking automatically pauses when you switch tabs, minimize the browser, or step away. 2. Interactive Break Takeover When your time is up, an animated full-screen takeover temporarily blocks interaction. It includes a circular countdown timer, eye-rest reminders based on the 20-20-20 rule, and an interactive "Pet the Companion" action. 3. Early Warning Chime Receive a gentle alert before your limit is reached so you have time to finish what you're doing. 4. Gentle and Strict Modes Need a little extra time?
