What does EvoCat for Mac do?
It closes short-video tabs for you. EvoCat for Mac is a menu-bar app with an animated desktop cat, Nori. When you open YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok or Facebook Reels in your browser, she walks over and closes the tab.
It lives in your menu bar and works on macOS 14 or later.
How does the focus timer work?
Start a focus session for 25, 50 or 90 minutes, or with no limit. During focus, Nori also closes feeds, not just short videos.
- The YouTube home page and Trending

What leaves my Mac?
