Screen Time: Pourquoi.app Android

Screen Time: Pourquoi.app

Cut your screen time without blockers: one question before each app.

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Scroll when you decide to.
Every time you open one of the apps you picked, pourquoi.app asks why. Answering takes a second, and nothing gets blocked. Your screen time, your call.

HOW IT WORKS
• A question when you open an app. Pick your apps, and the question pops up over the app as soon as you open one, or when you unlock your phone. It just needs a few Android permissions, and setup is guided.
• Name your reason. It takes one tap. Saying what you came for turns a habit into a choice.
• See what changes. Your answers and your screen time show where your time goes when you're not really choosing. No scores, no guilt trips.

HOW ABOUT DOING SOMETHING ELSE?
When you open an app without knowing why, or keep going back to it, pourquoi.app suggests a few ideas. It's up to you. And anytime, right from the app or by long-pressing its icon, you can start a breathing exercise or a phone-down timer.
• Breathe for a minute: 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out. Sound and gentle vibrations guide you, so you can close your eyes.
• Put your phone down: an hourglass runs for the time you set.
• Step outside for a bit, read two pages, call someone, or make a cup of tea.
• While a timer is running, every minute away from your apps adds sand to your jar. Give your phone a little tap, and the sand settles.

YOUR SCREEN TIME, IN A NEW LIGHT
• Today's screen time, hour by hour, free, right in pourquoi.app.
• At setup, see how many days a year your screen time adds up to, based on your own numbers, not an average.
• Your goal, tracked day by day against the previous 7 days: less phone time at night, less screen time overall, or fewer no-reason opens.
• Your Journal, with your answers, question pauses, and the time you took back.
• A home screen widget, and a Quick Settings tile to pause questions.
To see your screen time, you'll need to allow usage access.

WHY NO BLOCKERS
A blocker decides for you, and the first thing it teaches you is how to get around it. With pourquoi.app, you decide. Your apps stay put, and you can still scroll. You just choose when it's worth your time.

THE CORE OF THE APP IS FREE, WITH NO END DATE
• Unlimited questions.
• Suggested alternatives, the breathing exercise, the phone-down timer, and the jar.
• Your stats, screen time, goal, and Journal for the last 7 days.
• Question pauses of up to an hour, and the widget.

PREMIUM, FOR THE LONG RUN
• Your stats for the last 30 days and since you started, and what they reveal about your habits.
• Time spent per reason and why you open each app.
• Your weekly Recap, on the day and at the time you pick.
• Your full Journal and your own alternatives.
• Longer pauses (2 hours, 3 hours, or until this evening), plus vacation mode.
• A minimum gap between questions, and answer buttons that stay in the same place.
• More time slots, besides the nighttime one, during which pourquoi.app suggests something else when you keep reopening apps.
Try Premium free for 7 days on the monthly or yearly plan: you won't be charged today, and if it's not for you, cancel in Google Play before the trial ends. Otherwise, the subscription starts and renews automatically until you cancel it. Prefer to pay once? Premium also comes as a lifetime purchase, no subscription.

No ads, and your data is never sold. Your history stays on your phone.
