WhiskerPlay

Changing movement for cats and their people WhiskerPlay fills your iPhone or iPad with seven hand-painted animated themes: a mouse exploring the leaf litter, an insect moving among leaves, a swimming fish, a hopping and fluttering bird, a long flexible string, a falling feather, and butterflies and moths. Artwork and sound effects are bundled in the app. Paths, pauses and turns are generated on your device each time. Play offline from the first launch. Choose your play style • Set the subject limit from one to five and choose from four movement paces. • Add individual speed differences and occasional short accelerations. • Choose a pause style separately from pace, and select small, standard or large subjects. For strings, size changes thickness. • Use shared motion and volume settings or save separate settings for each theme. Presets ready to use Choose one of three built-in presets, or save up to 20 named presets of your own. Recall theme choices, random playback, motion, sound, timer and other play settings. Random playback and an end timer Choose which themes to include and set each playing time to 24, 48, 72, 120 or 240 seconds. Apply a time to all themes or only enabled themes, then adjust individual times. With multiple themes enabled, the same theme is not selected twice in a row. Choosing a theme manually keeps your random playback settings. Set the end timer to off, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. It counts active playback only, pausing for the management menu, backgrounding and audio interruptions. After it ends, restart play from the menu. A fresh app launch starts the elapsed count from zero. Optional touch reactions Touch reactions are off by default. Enable them to make nearby animals flee, strings jump, fish scenes ripple and feathers sway. Ordinary taps and swipes do not stop playback. Controls for the owner A visible back button (長押しで戻る) stays on the playback screen. Hold it for two seconds to open the management menu. Brief taps do not open it; releasing early or moving your finger cancels the hold. With VoiceOver, double-tap to activate. The inward swipe from the left edge remains available. Expand theme details when needed, and revisit the first-launch guide, instructions and release notes. Sound effects follow movement, with dedicated rubbing and air sounds for the string. Sound is muted by default. Unmuting plays effects even in Silent mode, subject to app volume and your device's volume and audio output. Supports portrait and landscape, with settings stored on your device. No advertising, analytics SDKs, login or in-app purchases. The app does not collect or transmit personal data or usage information. The app interface is in Japanese. Requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later. Preventing auto-lock during playback is on by default. Apple's optional Guided Access can restrict the device to one app; keep Touch enabled to use the menu and optional touch reactions. Supervise your cat and protect your device and screen. Cats may respond differently. CHOOSE YOUR BACKGROUND Switch between illustrated scenery and a solid color. Use the color picker to choose any background color. This setting applies to all themes and is saved between sessions.
