Anása: Stop Doomscrolling

Every scroll starts with a tap. Anása gives you a chance to choose before distracting apps take your attention.

Social media, short videos, news feeds, and recommended content are designed to keep you scrolling. Anása places a mindful pause between the moment you tap and the moment the app opens, so the automatic habit breaks and you decide what happens next. No guilt. No streaks.

Whether you want to reduce screen time, stop doomscrolling, break phone addiction, improve focus, build healthier digital habits, or spend more time living offline, Anása helps you reclaim your attention.

PAUSE BEFORE YOU SCROLL

Choose the apps you want to guard. Every time you open one, Anása steps in first.

Choose your pause:

The Door
Guided Breath
Quick Breath
Follow the Dot
Dark Pause
One Honest Question
The Anása Call

Every guarded app can have its own pause. Reopen the same app repeatedly in a short window and the pause gets longer. Opening a guarded app takes a deliberate hold instead of a tap.

Or pick from over 50 small activities that replace a scroll with something better.

WHEN SCROLLING GOES TOO FAR

Sometimes you only planned to check something for a minute. Anása notices when a session runs long and checks in with the interventions you chose:

BUILT ON REAL SCIENCE

Anása draws on research in behavioral psychology, habit formation, implementation intentions, slow breathing, self-compassion, digital wellbeing, and Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAI).

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

Some of Anása's core features require Android's Accessibility Service. Anása uses it to detect when one of your guarded apps opens, detect scrolling activity, determine when your chosen intervention should appear, apply app limits, and deliver reminders.

This enables:

Showing your pause before a guarded app opens
Guided breathing exercises
The Anása Call
Long-session detection
Daily limits
Timed app locks
Personalized interventions

Accessibility information is processed only on your device. It is used solely to provide these features and is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.

Anása is not designed to read or collect the content of your screen, including messages, passwords, emails, photos, documents, or anything you type. That is never collected, stored, or transmitted.

Before requesting Accessibility permission, Anása explains why it is needed and asks for your explicit consent. You may decline, disable the service at any time in Android Accessibility Settings, or uninstall the app whenever you choose.

PRIVACY FIRST

No account. No sign up. No email. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. No cloud sync. No internet permission. Everything stays on your device. It cannot upload your information, because it has no internet access.

Screen time app, doomscrolling blocker, phone addiction app, focus app, productivity app, mindfulness app, digital wellbeing app, social media blocker, habit tracker, distraction blocker — Anása helps you pause before you scroll and choose what matters instead.
