A cat lives in your browser. She reacts to the pages you visit (tab title and web address only). Everything stays on your device.
Install Tabby and open any page. On first install she appears in the bottom-left with a short three-step tour: who she is, that she stays local, and how to feed or play with her.
Tap Next to walk through the steps, Got it on the last one, or I already know Tabby to skip. Skip keeps her on screen and quiet. She does not read page text.
Drag her anywhere you like. She is a Lottie-animated cat with gold eyes and a purple collar.
Most of the time she stays out of the way. Now and then she may peek in from the edge, say a quiet line, or ask for food when she is hungry. Tap × on the bubble if you want to dismiss speech without opening the menu.
Her mood can shift gently after you stay on a page for about a minute. She never reads what is on the page, only the tab title and web address.
Click the cat to open her care menu. Pick Pet, Play, Feed Tabby, or What's up? (the ask button changes with her mood). Her reply appears in a speech bubble beside the menu.
Tap More for do not disturb (30 minutes, 1 hour, or until end of today) or Hide Tabby on this page. Tap outside the menu or × to close it.
When she is hungry, feeding starts a short munching moment: the menu closes, she eats, then thanks you. Play can turn into a wild paw moment with jokes. During those moments the menu stays closed so you can watch.
Pet or play during a peek brings her out happy. Petting while she is hungry might earn a little sass.
Click the Tabby icon in the toolbar.
Do not disturb hides her on every tab until the timer ends (30 minutes, 1 hour, or until end of today). You can cancel early from the same panel when it is active.
Tabby on your page lets you show or hide her on this tab or on all tabs. Show Tabby on this page brings her back even outside her quiet peek schedule.
Quiet hours keep unprompted speech off at night. Privacy explains that she uses tab title and web address only, with known sites and keywords.
When Tabby speaks up sets how often she may check in unprompted while you browse (not when you tap her).
That's it. Meet her once, browse, tap to care, open the toolbar for settings. No account. No cloud. All local.
