Lion Gatekeeper · Local-first, no tracking
Lion Gatekeeper the king who rules your screen time.
A Lion Gatekeeper is an AI-generated video of a lion that the Pet Gatekeeper extension sends striding over X, TikTok, or Reddit the moment your scrolling runs long — one shake of the mane, and the feed is dismissed.

02 · The pitch
What is a Lion Gatekeeper?
A Lion Gatekeeper is a short, silent video of a lion that takes over the screen once you've scrolled past your limit. Install the Pet Gatekeeper extension, and when a feed keeps you too long, a lion walks into the tab and holds its ground right in your way — no counter, no nagging popup, just a very regal cat that isn't leaving until the cool-down ends.
03 · Why it works
Why a lion gatekeeper works so well
The feed is built to keep you on autopilot. A lion walking into view is the kind of thing your brain can't ignore — a Lion Gatekeeper borrows that instinct to break the scroll, no willpower speech required.
It also has authority. A Lion Gatekeeper doesn't negotiate or lecture; it takes the throne in the middle of your timeline and waits, with the patience of an animal that naps most of the day, until you close the tab.
04 · Where it earns its keep
Where a Lion Gatekeeper fits
Deep-work guard duty.
Point the Pet Gatekeeper extension at X and the usual rabbit holes, and a Lion Gatekeeper shows up the moment you drift — a much firmer hint than a gray timer.
Late-night wind-down.
It's completely silent, so a Lion Gatekeeper at 1 a.m. won't wake anyone — it just plants a calm, sleepy lion between you and another hour of Reddit.
For the lion person.
Team mascot, a Leo birthday, or a lifelong big-cat fan — a Lion Gatekeeper is a gift that's funny and genuinely useful.
Make it yours.
Swap the lion for your own cat, dog, or rabbit anytime — the Pet Gatekeeper extension treats every animal the same.
05 · How it works
How to make a lion gatekeeper
- 01
Bring a few lion photos
Upload 1–4 clear images of a lion — a zoo shot or a sharp reference photo showing the whole body, without heavy shadows.
- 02
Approve the pose
Your photos become two green-screen poses. Keep the ones you like, or regenerate until the lion looks right.
- 03
Generate two clips
An intro and a loop render out, then you fine-tune the green-screen removal right in your browser.
- 04
Redeem in the extension
You get an 8-character code. Paste it into the Pet Gatekeeper extension or desktop app, and your Lion Gatekeeper guards the next feed that tries to keep you.
06 · Tips
Tips for a great lion gatekeeper
- Use a sharp, high-resolution lion photo — the more detail in the mane, the better the finished Lion Gatekeeper looks.
- Pick a shot where the whole lion is in frame, mane to tail tuft, rather than a tight face close-up.
- A simple background (dry grass, sand, rock) works better than a busy scene with other animals or heavy shadows.
- Not happy with the first pose? Regenerate before moving on — it's much easier to fix the pose than the finished video.
