About Meow Break – Cat Screen Time Blocker
You don't need more willpower. You need a fat cat asleep on your keyboard. 🐈
Meow Break counts how long you've actually been scrolling — only while the tab is open and focused — and when your limit is up, an adorable photorealistic cat curls up over the page and takes a nap until your break is done. The video pauses. The feed waits. You stretch, breathe, refill your water.
Why people choose Meow Break
Guard ANY website — Few social media sites built in, plus add any site you want with one click
Per-site timers — hitting your limit on YouTube doesn't punish you on every other site
Four sleepy cats — pick your favorite chonk: calico, tortoiseshell, ginger, or grey tabby
Videos actually stop — playing media is paused for the whole break, including embedded players
Fair warning — a gentle 1-minute heads-up before the cat arrives
See your week — daily stats with a per-site breakdown, so you know where your hours really go
Strict mode — no escape hatch when you mean business, or allow yourself exactly one extra minute
Featherweight — under 1MB; no slowdown, no bloat
How to use
Set your usage limit (default 30 min) and break length (default 5 min)
Toggle the sites you want guarded, or add your own
When time's up, the cat naps on your screen until the countdown ends
Privacy
Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no data collection, no tracking, no ads. Time is counted only while the tab is visible and focused. Free forever.
Take back your time. The cat will help. 🐾
