Cat TV with a locked screen. Pick a loop, start locked mode, hand the phone over. Taps and swipes do nothing, the screen stays awake, and the video runs until you stop it. What's on: a lizard darting across sand, birds hopping between birdhouses, minnows in a lily pond, a mouse in a meadow, moths circling a lantern, a squirrel on a fence, and more. Ten loops, all included, and every one tested on Bean, who paws at the lizard every time. Locked mode turns the screen sideways and fills it. Every tap gets ignored and counted. To get out, hold two fingers on the screen for three seconds. When it ends you see how long they watched and how many taps it shrugged off. Pay once. No subscription, no ads, nothing to buy inside the app. New loops get added over time and everyone who bought the app gets them. Nothing collected. No accounts, no tracking, no internet needed. Every video lives inside the app. Made by Strawberry & Bean. Two things worth knowing. Only the phone itself can block the home swipe and the side button, so turn on Guided Access in Settings for a fully locked phone (the app shows you how). And locked mode keeps the screen on, so plug in for long sessions.
