About AJR: Pause. Intend. Choose.
AJR: Pause. Intend. Choose.
AJR ("reward") helps you be more intentional with the limited time entrusted to you. Pick one app you tend to open without thinking — AJR adds a brief, deliberate pause before it opens, so you can choose consciously instead of on autopilot.
How it works
- Select one distracting app from a curated list (social, video, etc.)
- When you open it, AJR gently intercepts it, showing a full-screen pause with a calming animation and a Quranic verse
- Continue to the app, or go back — the choice is always yours
Why it matters
Time is a trust, not a possession. AJR is built on a simple belief: that a moment of sincere intention before an action can be worth more than the action itself — and that pausing to ask "why" is never time wasted.
🧠Break the autopilot habit
Most app-opening is unconscious. A short pause is often enough to reconnect you with your intention before you act.
🤲 Turn idle moments into reward
Instead of empty scrolling, each pause becomes a small moment of reflection — time that counts for you, not against you.
🌙 Better presence, day and night
Fewer unconscious opens before sleep, after Fajr, or during moments meant for family, work, or worship.
💠Rebuild your relationship with your phone
Over time, distracting apps lose their automatic pull — because you're choosing consciously, every time.
Why AJR
- Not a blocker: AJR never decides for you or locks you out. It simply creates a deliberate space to decide.
- Simple dashboard: See how many times you paused, completed the exercise, or cancelled. Track your estimated cumulative time "saved" from cancelled sessions.
Privacy first
- 100% offline: No account, no cloud sync, no analytics, no tracking. All your data stays on your device.
- Transparent permissions: AJR requires "Usage Access" and "Display over other apps" to detect when your selected app opens and show the pause screen. These are used strictly on-device and never transmitted.
- Full privacy policy: https://sites.google.com/view/ajr-privacy
Built for Arabic & English speakers
- Full Arabic (RTL) and English support, with genuine right-to-left layout mirroring
- Customizable verse display: choose to view Arabic only, English only, or both
- Light and dark mode
