What is your cat telling you?

Record or film a meow and Tell Me Meow suggests what it might mean. Teach it what your cat really meant, and it gets to know your cat's own voice.

Kiwi says Life is good Relaxed and friendly
Quite sure

Three taps to a translation

Well, a very good guess. And it gets better every time you help.

Teach

Tap the right meaning, or write your own words. They go in your cat's phrasebook, and its next readings lean on what you taught.

Hungry? Hunting? In love?

Every reading comes with your cat's face to match. Here are some of the things your cat might be saying.

Feed me. Now.Asking
Life is goodRelaxed
Bird. Must. Get.Hunting
Hey! I need you!Needs you
Come say hiCome here

It really listens

Behind every bubble there's real sound analysis, running on your iPhone.

  1. 01

    Finds the cat

    A neural network that knows the sounds of everyday life picks out your cat from voices, TV and the rest.

  2. 02

    Compares with thousands of cats

    The meow becomes a sound fingerprint, matched against what thousands of cat sounds have taught it.

  3. 03

    Learns your cat

    Clips you label pull new readings their way. The more alike they sound, the stronger the pull.

Every cat speaks a little differently

Tell Me Meow starts out knowing how cats in general sound. When you tap the right answer, or write your own, it goes in your cat's phrasebook. Four clips across two meanings, and the readings start leaning on your cat's own meows.

Got more than one cat? Add them all. Each one has its own phrasebook, and you can share a cat with the cat sitter.

Film it. Share the reel.

Turn a meow into a video worth posting. It's your cat, your video and its own sound, with the speech bubble on top.

Film or import

Film your cat in the app, or pick a video you already have.

The bubble pops up

Once the meow has played, your cat's reading appears. Trim it and move the bubble where you like.

Save or share

Save the reel to your photos or share it straight away. The app keeps no copy.
