## What is WhiskerPlay?

Playtime for cats and their people

WhiskerPlay creates movement for seven illustrated themes on the full screen of your iPhone or iPad
A mouse explores the grass, an insect darts among leaves, a fish swims underwater, a bird hops through a sunlit garden, a longer flexible string ripples and bends, a feather falls from above with gentle sway and tilt, and butterflies and moths flutter and land
Each theme combines quiet pauses with bursts of movement and matching sound effects
Subjects grow and shrink as they approach and recede, and enter and leave the screen
Movement is generated on your device each time, with changing paths, pauses and turns

Choose how to play
• Select Mouse, Insect, Fish, Bird, String, Feather or Butterfly/Moth
• Choose which themes to include in random playback and set each theme's playing time from 24 to 240 seconds
• Set the subject limit from one to five and choose the pace of movement for all themes
• Keep the random setting while choosing a theme manually
• Adjust app volume and mute
• Choose whether to prevent auto-lock during playback
• Restore your settings at the next launch

Made for focused viewing
The playback screen has no buttons or seek bar
Ordinary taps, long presses, swipes and pinches do not stop playback
Open the management menu with a firm inward horizontal swipe from the left edge and release your finger
Playback pauses while the menu is open or the app is in the background

Ready to play offline
Artwork and sound effects are bundled in the app; movement is generated locally without a server or AI service
No account, advertising or in-app purchases
The app does not collect or transmit personal data or usage information

Guided Access is optional
Use Apple’s Guided Access if you want to restrict the device to one app
Keep Touch enabled to use the management menu or pause or end Guided Access before changing settings

The management menu is in Japanese
Requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later
Supervise your cat and protect your device and screen
Cats may respond differently

A three-step first-launch guide explains the menu gesture, theme selection and effect sounds. Reopen it anytime from the management menu. Random playback switches every 24 seconds by default. Saved custom intervals are preserved.
