About shin. – Daily Interruptions
You've optimized everything in your life. Except yourself. shin. is a daily stoic prompt for men who deleted Headspace and Calm but still want something sharper. No streaks. No mood tracking. No coach-voice. One prompt a day — often a single sentence — interrupts your autopilot. Ten seconds. For men who want something on their phone that won't let them hide. — HOW IT WORKS One interruption a day. Up to eight if you want more. Each one is a short, direct question built on three traditions: • Alexander Technique — body awareness. "Drop your shoulders. They're up again." The body knows what the mouth won't say. • Stoic philosophy — clarity of choice. "You said yes to something you'll regret. Tomorrow you'll say yes again." Not comfort. Questioning. • Identity work — who you actually are. "The version that walks into the meeting, and the version that hears the door close. Which one is you?" — WHAT'S INSIDE • 150+ prompts across three traditions • Three notification types you control: Daily Anchor, Shatter Interventions, Silent Presence • The Source — a library of short lessons behind the questions • A monthly letter — one short essay on the first Sunday of each month. Rare on purpose. • Resurface — old questions return, once a month, so you can see who you used to be • Local-only data. No analytics. No cloud. No account. — PREMIUM Free to start with 30 core prompts and the daily anchor. Premium unlocks the full prompt pool (150+), all notification types, the full library, all confrontations, and all five journeys. Monthly, yearly, or once forever. No trial tricks. — WHY Most apps in this space sell comfort. shin. doesn't. The monk doesn't want to heal you. He wants to interrupt you. Stay upright. — Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://zllhff.github.io/shin/privacy.html
