About Kiri: Mindful Screen Time
Kiri is a small hourglass that keeps you company in the apps you lose time in.
Pick an app, like YouTube or Instagram, and choose how much time it gets each day. When you open it, a tiny hourglass hangs at the top of the screen and the sand starts to fall. Leave the app and the sand stops. Come back and it picks up where it left off.
When your time runs out, a soft mist drifts over the app. Wipe it away with your finger, take one slow breath, and decide what to do next. Kiri never locks you out. If you really need to, you can keep going. It just asks you to choose.
WHAT YOU GET
• A daily time for one app, free
• A timer that pauses when you leave and resumes when you come back
• Mist you wipe away, a breath, and a one-word check-in
• Two more minutes, once per visit, to finish what you were doing
• A pebble for every day you stay within your time. Seven make a stone, four stones make a boulder, and you never lose them
• A home screen widget with the time you have left
• Light and dark mode, sound and haptics you can turn off
KIRI PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription)
• As many apps as you like, each with its own time
• Reflections: how your week went and how each pause felt
• Strict mode, with no pause button
• Rest hours, with no timer in the morning or at night
• Every hourglass colour and all widgets
Timer packs, like the Ember pack with a lantern and an incense coil, are separate one-time purchases.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Kiri has no account and no ads. Your usage history stays on your phone and is never uploaded. Purchases are handled by Google Play.
PERMISSIONS, IN PLAIN WORDS
• Usage access: so Kiri knows when you open an app you picked. Kiri only looks at which app is on screen.
• Display over other apps: so the hourglass and the mist can appear on top of that app.

User reviews
A refreshing and gentle approach to managing screen time. I love the hourglass concept, subtle reminders, and privacy-focused design.
nice app to try. dont know why it wont show like on screenshot on my device. it only show hourglass, no mist on screen
Kiri turns screen-time limits into a gentle nudge, not a punishment. The tiny hourglass is charming, the mist-and-breath pause feels thoughtful, and I love that the timer stops when I leave the app. It never locks me out, so I stay in control. The daily pebble rewards make small wins satisfying, too. A calm, beautif...
