How a Cat Overlay Breaks Endless Scrolling
Endless feeds are built to remove stopping points. Cat Gatekeeper adds one back with a full-screen interruption.
Feeds remove the natural stop
Endless scrolling works because the next item is always already there. You do not make one big decision to spend an hour; you make many tiny decisions to keep going.
Cat Gatekeeper adds a boundary back into that loop. When the timer runs out, the feed is no longer the main thing on the screen.
The break should feel immediate
Small warnings often become part of the background. A full-screen overlay is different because it changes what the browser tab is doing right now.
The goal is not to shame the user. It is to make the next action obvious: pause, reset, and come back later if the site still deserves your attention.
Make the interruption friendly
The cat makes the hard stop feel playful rather than corporate. That tone is important for a tool people might see several times a day.
This is why Cat Gatekeeper is easier to understand than many focus tools. The value is not a complicated dashboard; it is the simple moment when a cat covers the scroll and gives you a chance to stop.
