The Feeder That Knows Your Cat by Face, No Chip or Collar

Glance learns what each cat looks like, not what they're wearing or carrying, so there's nothing to clip on, register, or lose. Recognition runs locally on the feeder itself, no cloud connection needed to route the right meal to the right cat.

Glance AI Facial Recognition Feeder

👁️ Recognizes a face, not a tag

A 5MP camera maps over 100 facial landmarks plus coat pattern and color, processed on the feeder itself. Cats that look nearly identical may still need a collar tag or small marker to be told apart.

🚧 A private dining zone

Transparent side baffles wall off the active pod, and the tray rotates away instantly if another cat approaches mid meal. When no cat is present, it rests on an always-empty pod.

🧊 6 pods, kept fresh up to 12 hours

Sealed pods hold daily kibble, wet food, or a specialized formula separately, and a food-grade ice compartment keeps meals colder for up to 12 hours through physical cooling alone.

📷 Watches so you don't have to

Video starts the moment a cat arrives, and live view with two-way audio lets you check in or call a cat to dinner from anywhere with wifi.

The Worries, Handled

Accurate, Private, and Genuinely Local

Before trusting a camera to tell your cats apart, it’s fair to ask how accurate that really is, what keeps another cat out of an occupied pod, how food stays fresh, and whether any of this stops working if your wifi drops. Here’s what to know.

🎯Accurate, and localA 5MP camera reads over 100 facial landmarks plus coat pattern and color, processed on the feeder itself, no cloud connection required, manufacturer reported 97% accuracy
👯Look-alikesTwin cats or two cats with no distinguishing features may need a collar tag or small marker to be told apart
🚧A private dining zoneTransparent side baffles keep other cats from reaching into an occupied pod, and the tray rotates away the instant another cat approaches, resting on an always-empty pod between meals
🧊Fresh up to 12 hoursA food-grade ice compartment keeps meals colder for longer, up to 12 hours by the manufacturer’s figure, cold storage slows spoilage rather than eliminating it

Live view, two-way audio, and app notifications need a wifi connection, recognition itself does not, the feeder can still tell your cats apart and rotate to the right pod if your wifi is down. Normal food safety practices still apply for raw or wet meals, cold storage buys time, it doesn’t replace them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Setup and Care

Getting Started

1Unlock the ring fastener at the back of the top cover with one hand and lift the entire lid to open the feeder.
2If you’re using the ice box, freeze it lying flat, never upright, at about -0.4°F for at least 6 hours before first use.
3Align the camera and rotating controller’s buckles with the mounting slots on the bottom shell, then rotate it counterclockwise until it clicks into place.
4Download the PapaPaw app from the App Store or Google Play, then scan the QR code on the bottom of the feeder to pair it.
5Register your cat by uploading a clear front-face photo in the app, then bind that cat to an exclusive grid and feeding schedule.
6Pick a feeding mode, Scheduled, Self-Service, Face Recognition, or Manual, and fill each grid with up to about 85g of dry kibble or a wet or fresh meal.

In The Box

  • Food container with 6 grids
  • Camera and rotating controller
  • 2 anti-snatching baffles
  • 4 standing brackets
  • Ice box
  • 5V/2A power adapter

Key Settings

  • Register cats by front-face photo, each bound to an exclusive grid, one grid stays open as the idle position
  • Real-Time View for manual rotation control and two-way audio
  • Sleep time setting to turn the camera off for privacy

Care

  • Rinse all removable parts except the controller with water, or run them in the dishwasher, skip metal or abrasive scrubbers
  • Wipe the controller with a damp cloth only, never wash or submerge it
  • Clean up wet or fresh food the same day, or by the next day at the latest, to avoid spoilage
  • Keep the feeder on a stable, flat, dry surface indoors, away from direct sun and temperatures below 32°F
Facial recognition works for cats only, not dogs. The companion app is called PapaPaw in the App Store and Google Play, pairing happens through it. The gel filling inside the ice box is not edible, and the box shouldn’t be used if it’s cracked or damaged. Status light: red means offline, yellow means the feeder is running a self-check, green means normal operation, and flashing means it’s in network setup mode.

You get what you pay for. The build quality feels very high-end, much better than the plastic-y feeders on Amazon. The app is intuitive, notifications are prompt, and setting the micro-portions for my overweight cat was a breeze.

Our rescue cat had severe food anxiety and would devour her food in seconds, only to throw it up immediately. Since the feeder keeps her bowl strictly hers and safe from our other cat, she finally realized nobody is going to steal her food. She eats slowly now!

Mealtime used to be pure stress with three cats guarding bowls, growling, and stealing. Now every cat has their designated feeder that only opens for them. The house is finally quiet, peaceful, and harmonious again.

I have two cats, and one needs $100/bag renal diet food. My other cat is a food thief who ate it all. Petsumi stopped the food stealing completely. No collars needed, works straight out of the box!

Face ID for cats? I thought it was a gimmick, but it actually works perfectly. Scans instantly even in dim lighting. So happy I can finally take those clunky RFID tags off my cats' necks.

GAME CHANGER. Excellent product. I highly recommend this cat feeder.

This cat feeder exceeded my expectations. The AI facial recognition is excellent. It recognizes when your cat is approaching the station and spins to the correct bowl right away.

It has 6 trays total (one of which is a standby tray - i leave this one empty. 5 trays is plenty; I only end up using 3 trays but maybe l’ll use the other 2 if I’m away more than 24 hours.

The package comes with 2 removable stainless bowls. I went ahead and purchased more. These are easy to clean; I just put them in the dishwasher.

The app is awesome. You can view videos of your cats when you’re away. You can talk to them or call them over when it’s meal time. You can label the trays anything you want (dry food, canned food, treats, vitamins, chicken, etc.).

You can also manually control the tray rotation in the app if you want. I don’t do that because I put their meals in the order I want them to have it; the feeder takes care of the rest. But manual control is an option.

I was out for an all-day event last weekend. Normally I would have anxiety leaving my cats alone for that long. Not this time - I called them over for meal time by speaking to them through the app; I felt better watching them eat and knowing they’re taken care of. The price is so worth it.

The set up was easy; just followed their instructions. It’s plugged into an outlet so you never have to worry about battery life. It’s very quiet, doesn’t take up a lot of space. The customer support is great - very responsive.

One question I have left over which I will ask the support team of the seller is - how to utilize ice packs for this (placement etc.). They are very responsive so not worried about getting this question answered.

Noting that they have ice packs that comes with the feeder but it’s not allowed to be shipped to the U.S. for some reason. I don’t even care - I’m still extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Also noting that I decided to get 2 feeders where my 2 cats each have separate stations. This is only because they’ll both have enough trays of food for a few days if I take a short trip. However, you can have 1 feeder with 5 or 6 trays of food where 2 cats use the same feeder - if you choose to do it that way.
