ReelMeow: Reel Counter & Limit

ReelMeow is a reel counter with a cat buddy. It sits on top of your short-video feed and counts every reel you swipe, so you can see your scrolling habit as it happens and cut it down, a little at a time.

Most screen time apps show you a number at the end of the day. ReelMeow shows it while you scroll: a small floating counter on the feed, with a cat that gets sleepier the more you watch.

HOW IT WORKS
• Live reel counter: a small bubble on the feed counts each reel or short video as you swipe.
• A cat that reacts: your cat goes from purring to zonked as the count climbs.
• Gentle daily limit: for the first three days the cat just watches and learns your usual amount. Then your daily line starts a little below it and slowly moves toward your goal.
• Kind nudges: under your line nothing interrupts you. Past it, the cat steps in now and then with a stretch break or a short pause, and you choose what happens next.
• Reel Lock (Pro): allow a set number of reels, then the cat sits on your feed for a cooldown. Want a few more? Earn them with a short calm challenge, like petting the cat or putting your phone face down.

WHY REELMEOW USES THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
ReelMeow uses Android's Accessibility Service API to notice when you swipe to a new short video in Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat or Facebook. This is what lets it count reels, show the counter and break cards on the feed, and lock reels when you ask it to. The service only listens to those five apps. It does not read your messages, passwords or anything you type, it does not perform taps or gestures, and nothing it sees leaves your phone. You turn it on yourself, after the app explains why, and you can turn it off at any time in Android Settings.
