Hitomazu: Pause, Don't Block

It doesn't block. Just one breath before you open. Hitomazu puts a single breath in front of the apps you choose to watch. The way through is always left open. ■ One question before you open When you go to open a watched app, it asks just one thing: "What are you here for?" You answer "On purpose" or "Just because." Choosing "Just because" is not held against you. It asks once more, "Still want to open it?", and after that it is your call. ■ It counts the times you turned back Two numbers are recorded: how often you paused, and how often you turned back. No screen-time totals, no comparison with last week, no completion rates. Instead of confronting you with the hours you failed to cut, it keeps the moments where you stopped. ■ It doesn't rush you No badges. No streaks. One notification, on Sunday morning, and only if you asked for it. No numbers in it. ■ Your records don't reach the developer The apps you pick and the records of them stay on your device. There is no server to receive them. No account, no ads, no analytics. Even with iCloud sync on, the only place they go is your own iCloud. ■ Free • The breath before opening (one watched app) • A record of your pauses and turn-backs • The weekly look back, and every past week • Sync across your devices via iCloud • A Home Screen widget ■ Hitomazu Pro • Watch as many apps as you like • Ask the question in your own words • Promises by time of day ("After 10 PM, ask again even when I have a reason") Monthly and yearly, with a one-time purchase listed alongside them. You can cancel at any time. ■ What this app doesn't have • Blocking, forced locks • Streaks, badges • Screen time compared with last week • Sending anything to a developer server This is not an app for making you stop. It is an app for helping you notice. ■ Terms of Use (EULA) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ■ Privacy Policy https://www.naoyuki0920.com/hitomazu/privacy
