Point. Read. Understand.
Point the camera at your cat — know what they're feeling in under a second. Real-time body language interpretation, entirely on your device. No account. No cloud. No guessing.
No spam — one email when we launch.
Every interpretation runs through a sequential on-device pipeline — no cloud required, no latency waiting on a server.
Apple's Vision framework detects 25 named joints across your cat's head, trunk, limbs, and tail — up to 30 frames per second, entirely on the Neural Engine.
Pure Swift geometry converts joint coordinates into human-readable signals. A ring buffer detects temporal patterns: tail-flicking velocity, asymmetric ear movement.
Apple Foundation Models — an on-device LLM — interprets the semantic vector and returns a structured emotion card with description and action advice.
Everything you need to understand your cat right now — no memorisation, no manuals, no cloud subscription.
No. Camera frames are processed in memory on your device and immediately discarded. Nothing is recorded, stored, or transmitted. The app has zero cloud API calls — all AI runs locally via Apple's on-device frameworks.
Catslator requires iPhone 15 Pro or later running iOS 26.0+. The on-device language model (Apple Foundation Models) requires the A17 Pro chip or newer. Earlier devices don't have the on-device LLM capability.
Tail and ear detection accuracy targets ≥ 80% in our test suite. The interpretation is grounded in Lili Chin's cat ethology methodology — the most widely respected framework for cat body language. The app shows a confidence score with every result so you always know how certain the reading is.
Yes, free to download. The free tier gives you 5 full interpretations per day — emotion, confidence, description, and action advice. After 5, the emotion and confidence remain visible but the details are locked. Pro unlocks unlimited interpretations: $3.99/week with a 3-day free trial, or $19.99 lifetime.
Catslator uses Apple's VNDetectAnimalBodyPoseRequest which detects cats by skeleton, not by breed or coat colour. It works regardless of colour, pattern, or size. Lighting and camera angle affect detection confidence — the skeleton overlay shows joint quality in real time so you can find the best angle.
Catslator is currently in development. We're targeting a 2026 launch alongside iOS 26. Sign up above and we'll send one email the day it's live on the App Store — no spam.
