## Description

Every time you open Instagram, TikTok, X or YouTube, Clinch gives you a 10-second pause, then asks what brought you here. Spot your patterns. Break the scroll.

Open Instagram without even thinking about it? Clinch puts a small, calming pause between you and the apps that pull at you — so you scroll on purpose, not on reflex.

HOW IT WORKS
• Intercept — the moment you open an app you've chosen, Clinch steps in with a quick moment. Sometimes a breath, sometimes a puzzle or a fact. It changes each time, so it never gets stale.
• Reflect — then it asks one simple question: what brought you here? Stay, or keep going. The choice is yours.
• See your patterns — Clinch shows you when you reach for it the most, and how often you didn't.
• Block the spiral — set time windows where the apps you pick are fully blocked, no bypass.

WHY CLINCH
• A pause that never gets old — different moments, not the same screen every time.
• It asks what a blocker can't: why.
• Nudge it, or wall it off — gentle intercepts and hard schedules, in one app.
• Your data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud.

Inspired by self-nudge research: a brief, calm pause before you open an app — and a real choice — helps loosen the habit over time.
