Craving Cat
A pause that feels like company, not punishment.
A gentle interruption app that leaves a real pause before the apps you reopen on impulse, so the next step can still be yours.

Principles
What this product protects
01
Interrupt the impulse, return the choice
The goal is not obedience. The goal is to make an almost unconscious action visible again, so a real choice can re-enter.
02
Companion, not punishment
Every reminder, button, and companion moment avoids shame. Even “a little more time” is treated as a choice, not a moral failure.
03
Detailed rules, light emotional load
Different habits can carry different boundaries, while the interface stays soft, calm, and non-threatening.
Flow
How it feels in use
01
1. Notice where time disappears
Start by choosing the places where your sense of time most often slips. The goal is not to close everything, but to notice where support is actually needed.
02
2. Set light rules
Shape boundaries that fit each habit: how long feels okay today, how long is too long at once, and when you may still want a little room. You do not need to clamp down on everything at once.
03
3. Let the cat catch the moment
When the moment starts to speed up, the cat catches it first. You can allow a little more time, put it down for now, or take one guided breath before choosing again.
