FAQ
What is EvoCat?
EvoCat is an iPhone app blocker built around four cats. Choose distracting apps and websites, set recurring focus schedules, and pick a cat. Challenge modes ask you to complete an action before earning screen time. Larry is the strict blocking option.
What does “beat the cat” mean?
In challenge modes, the cat puts a task between you and your feed. BuffCat gives you a physical challenge, SageCat a cognitive challenge, and ZenCat a breathing exercise. Complete the challenge to earn screen time. Larry’s strict mode does not offer a challenge to unlock.
Can EvoCat help me stop doomscrolling?
EvoCat adds a deliberate interruption before distracting apps. It is a tool for changing your setup, not a guaranteed treatment for addiction. Start with one scrolling trigger, a realistic boundary, and an alternative activity. The free lessons help you make that plan.
Can I block Instagram, TikTok, and other apps?
You choose the apps, categories, and websites to restrict through the iOS Screen Time picker. You can use recurring schedules to protect work, study, or evenings. Keep essential communication and tools available, and test your setup.
Are the lessons free?
Yes. All 14 website lessons and the one-minute pause are free to use without an account or the app. Each lesson includes an exercise and source notes.
Is the app free?
EvoCat offers a 3-day free trial followed by an annual subscription. Check the app for the current price and terms before starting a trial. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the subscription charge.
Does EvoCat need an account?
No. EvoCat’s blocking runs on your device using Apple’s Screen Time APIs. You do not need to create an EvoCat account. See the privacy policy for details.
