CatchCat

How it works. You find a cat in the real world, point the app’s camera at it, and take a photo. In return, you get a unique collectible card with its name, photo, rarity level, and battle stats: health (HP), attack (ATK), defense (DEF), and speed (SPD).

There are five rarity levels in total, from Common to Legendary. The rarer the cat, the harder it is to catch — and the more valuable the find.

Smart tech under the hood. Recognition is handled by on-device AI using YOLO and SSD neural networks. Everything is processed locally, which makes it fast and private. You can’t upload photos from your gallery — only live cats caught through the camera count. That’s how the developer keeps cheaters in check.

It feels a bit like Pokémon Go, but with its own personality. Both games get you outside and turn the street into a hunting ground. But instead of fictional monsters, this one is about something we already love: real cats. The world map shows spots where other players have caught cats — walk over and catch them yourself.

What’s next. A PvP mode called Alley Clash is planned, where your cats will become battle cards for fights with friends.

For now, the game is only available on Android, while an iOS version is already in development. If you love cats, your next legendary catch might be waiting just around the corner.
