not yet — morning focus alarm

Your first 30 minutes set the tone for your whole day.

Most people know this. Most people still reach for their phone
the moment their alarm goes off — and spend the next half hour
on Reddit, Instagram, or TikTok before their feet hit the floor.

not yet. fixes that.

Set your wake-up time. When the alarm fires, your phone enters
morning mode for 30 minutes. Social media is blocked. News apps
are blocked. Everything designed to hijack your attention is
blocked. What remains: calls, SMS, and whatever you actually
need in the morning.

That's it. No complicated setup. No daily willpower required.
You made the decision once, the night before. not yet. holds
it for you.

── WHY THE FIRST 30 MINUTES MATTER ──

Neuroscientists call it the cortisol awakening response — a
natural hormonal process that peaks 20-30 minutes after waking,
priming your brain for focus, creativity, and calm decision-making.
Scrolling through social media during this window disrupts that
process and floods your brain with stress signals before the day
has even started.

A 2025 study published in PNAS Nexus found that blocking mobile
internet access significantly improved sustained attention, mental
health, and subjective well-being. The science is clear. The
habit is hard. not yet. makes it automatic.

── HOW IT WORKS ──

① Set your alarm and morning length (20, 30, or 45 minutes)
② Choose which days — weekdays, every day, or custom
③ Select which apps stay accessible (Phone, Maps, Music)
④ Sleep. Wake up. Your morning is protected automatically.

When morning mode is active, your phone transforms. A clean,
calm screen shows the time and how many minutes of quiet you
have left. Allowed apps sit at the bottom. Everything else
doesn't exist yet.

── WHAT MAKES not yet. DIFFERENT ──

Most screen time and app blocker apps work all day, across every
app, with complicated schedules and settings. not yet. does one
thing only — protects the first 30 minutes after you wake up.

No subscription required to use the core features. No dark
patterns. No streak guilt. Just one quiet tool that gives you
