Addicted to social media? This adorable, infuriating cat will stop you from doomscrolling

"Cat Gatekeeper is a new Chrome browser extension designed by the developer Zokuzoku, and it reminds you to stop scrolling by sitting a cat on your browser as a clock counts down until your break time is over."

"When you hit your time limit, the cat walks on screen and a countdown clock appears. The cat then sits itself down in the middle of your browser and waits, breathing, blinking, and moving its ears and tail until the time is finally up."

"Those looking to spend less time on social media are recommended to delete apps or use their phone's native screen time controls to set limits."

Cat Gatekeeper is a Chrome browser extension designed to help users manage social media addiction. It features a cat that appears on the screen when users exceed their set time limit, encouraging breaks. Users can customize their time limits, with a default of one hour before the cat appears. The extension tracks active time on various social networks. Other methods to reduce screen time include deleting apps, using phone controls, and employing physical devices to limit access to social media.
