Pourquoi.app

Free up time for what really matters. No app blockers or gamification.

Free up time for what really matters, without distractions or guilt.

why.app helps you use your phone more mindfully.

When you open the apps you’ve chosen, a simple question appears: “Why?”

In just a few seconds, you can state your intention: to work, catch up on the news, contact someone, take your mind off things… or admit that you’re opening the app on autopilot.

The aim isn’t to stop you. The aim is to create a brief moment of awareness between you and your habits.

HOW IT WORKS

PREMIUM — OPTIONAL
