02 · The pitch
What is a Tiger Gatekeeper?
A Tiger Gatekeeper is a short, silent video of a tiger 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 tiger pads into the tab and settles down right in your way — no counter, no nagging popup, just a very large cat that isn't moving until the cool-down ends.
03 · Why it works
Why a tiger gatekeeper works so well
The feed is built to keep you frozen. A tiger is the one thing your brain is wired to look up for — a Tiger Gatekeeper borrows that instinct to snap you out of the scroll, no willpower speech required.
It's also just hard to argue with a tiger. A Tiger Gatekeeper doesn't lecture you about screen time; it strolls in, lies down across your timeline, and calmly outlasts you until you close the tab.
04 · Where it earns its keep
Where a Tiger Gatekeeper fits
Deep-work guard duty.
Point the Pet Gatekeeper extension at X and the usual rabbit holes, and a Tiger 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 Tiger Gatekeeper at 1 a.m. won't wake anyone — it just parks a sleepy big cat between you and another hour of Reddit.
For the tiger person.
Team mascot, Year of the Tiger, or a lifelong big-cat fan — a Tiger Gatekeeper is a gift that's funny and genuinely useful.
Make it yours.
Swap the tiger 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 tiger gatekeeper
- 01
Bring a few tiger photos
Upload 1–4 clear images of a tiger — 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 tiger 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 Tiger Gatekeeper guards the next feed that tries to keep you.
06 · Tips
Tips for a great tiger gatekeeper
- Use a sharp, high-resolution tiger photo — the clearer the stripes, the better the finished Tiger Gatekeeper looks.
- Pick a shot where the whole tiger is in frame, head to tail, rather than a tight face close-up.
- A simple background (grass, rock, snow) works better than a busy jungle scene full of leaves and shadows.
- Not happy with the first pose? Regenerate before moving on — it's much easier to fix the pose than the finished video.
