No ads while your cat plays. Paws can't exit.
Lay your phone flat on the floor and a laser dot, fish, mouse, ladybug or butterfly starts darting around. Your cat taps it, it runs away. No banner for a paw to hit, and the game only stops when you hold the lock for 2 seconds.

Pouncly is an Android screen toy for cats. You lay the phone or tablet flat on the floor, and a laser dot, fish, mouse, ladybug or butterfly moves across the screen in random paths: it pauses, hides and suddenly dashes. When your cat touches it, it doesn't vanish, it runs away, with an optional catch sound. The play screen has no ads, because cats tap everything; ads only appear on screens people use. To stop playing, a person holds the lock icon for 2 seconds, the back gesture is ignored during play and the screen stays on. You can set the speed in 5 steps, the toy size, 1 to 3 toys at once, and 3, 5 or 10-minute sessions. Add more than one cat and Pouncly records catches and minutes for each session, with a weekly chart and a day streak per cat. No account is needed and your data stays on your phone. It is an on-screen toy, not a real laser.
No ads on the play screen
Cats tap everything, so there is no banner for a paw to open. Ads only appear on screens people use, like the home and the log.
2-second lock, paws can't exit
To stop, a person holds the lock icon for 2 seconds. The back gesture is ignored while playing and the screen stays on.
Five toys that run away
A laser dot, fish, mouse, ladybug or butterfly. Touch it and it runs off instead of disappearing, with an optional catch sound.
Moves like prey
Random paths that pause, hide and dash, so the next move is hard for a cat to predict.

FAQ
- My cat taps the banner ad and it opens. Does Pouncly have ads during play?
- No. The play screen has no ads at all. Pouncly is supported by ads, but they only appear on screens people use, never under your cat's paws.
- The cat keeps exiting the game. How do I stop that?
- Pouncly locks the play screen. The back gesture is ignored while playing, and only holding the lock icon for 2 seconds ends the session, which a paw tap won't do.
- Do cats even see phone screens?
- Many cats react to small, fast-moving things on a screen, and some ignore screens entirely. Every cat is different, so try a few toys, speeds and sizes to see what yours follows.
- My cat gets bored after about 5 minutes. What can I change?
- Try another toy, a different speed or size, or 2 to 3 toys at once. Short 3 or 5-minute sessions also work well; many cats like to play in short bursts.
- Is it better on a tablet?
- A bigger screen gives the toy more room to run, so a tablet laid flat works well. A phone works too.
- Is a laser bad for cats? Is this a real laser?
- Pouncly is an on-screen toy, not a real laser, so there is no light shining into anyone's eyes. Some cats get frustrated when they can never catch a dot; ending with a real toy they can grab helps.
- Why would a cat game need my photos?
- Pouncly doesn't ask for photos, contacts or location. The only optional permission is notifications, for an evening playtime reminder. There is no account and your data stays on your phone.
- Can my cat scratch the screen?
- Claws can mark a screen, so a screen protector helps. Stay nearby while your cat plays and keep sessions short.
