Flappie uses artificial intelligence to detect different objects such as birds or mice that cats bring as prey. Thanks to this object recognition system, Flappie can determine whether the cat comes into the house with or without prey. If the cat has prey with it, the flap stays closed and prevents the cat from bringing the prey into the house.

Flappie stays closed as long as the cat wants to get in with prey.
As soon as she tries without, the cat will be allowed in. Don't worry, your cat won't be locked out for long!

Whether bird, mouse, fish or snake – Flappie recognizes any type of prey.

We know that this is important for many cat owners. We are currently working on an innovative solution that will be made available free of charge to all Flappie pre-orders. So feel free to pre-order Flappie now to benefit from all our new features in the future! Please contact support if you need more detailed information.

The mouse detection algorithm used in Flappie is extremely accurate and reliable. The algorithm is continuously trained and updated with new data to improve its accuracy and ensure that it can detect mice with high accuracy and minimal false positives.

The current version of Flappie prevents most prey from entering. The algorithm is constantly learning and thus the detection of prey is perfected.

At Flappie, protecting your data is our top priority. When you use Flappie online, certain data is transferred to our cloud in encrypted form to provide you with useful features such as detailed statistics. The videos saved help us improve our AI models, which benefits all users. The choice is yours: Flappie can also be used offline, but no data is transferred. Note that some advanced app features and updates are not available when used offline. Regardless of your choice, the AI ​​algorithms work directly on your device.

Flappie only records footage on the outside of the cat flap when a cat is detected. This protects your privacy in your home. When you have an internet connection, the videos are encrypted and transferred to our cloud so you can watch them in the app. We also use these videos to continually improve our detection algorithm. All data is stored securely on our servers. You remain in control: without an internet connection, all data remains locally on your device.

Flappie will be delivered directly to your door by parcel service. As soon as the product is ready for dispatch, you will receive all the necessary information for tracking the shipment.

If Flappie doesn't work as promised, you are entitled to a refund within 14 days or a replacement model. We are confident in the quality of our product and want to make sure you are happy with Flappie.

At Flappie, we strive to offer complete transparency. Pre-ordering from us is somewhat similar to investing in a Kickstarter project and therefore comes with certain risks, and our entire team is working hard to bring Flappie to market successfully. However, unforeseen challenges may arise that could affect the timeline or product development, and all funds raised will go directly into the development and production of Flappie. This means that in the unlikely event of serious obstacles, a (full) refund may not be guaranteed. We are committed to regular and open communication. You will be promptly informed of all important developments and any delays, and despite these potential risks, we are confident of successfully realizing Flappie. Your pre-order is not only an investment in an innovative product, but also in our vision of a better future for cats and their owners. We appreciate your trust and support and will do everything we can to exceed your expectations.
