How does Not Now help you?
The Magic Pause
When you try to open a distracting app, we don't just say "no." We give you a tiny task first—like taking a deep breath, solving a simple math problem, or typing a word. This little pause gives your brain a chance to ask: "Do I really need to scroll right now?"
You Pick the Apps
You choose which apps are stealing your time (like Instagram or TikTok). Once you pick them, "Not Now" stands guard. When you tap them, our app pops up first to help you stay focused.
Watch Your Time Grow
See how many minutes you saved by not looking at your phone! We show you a simple chart to visualize your progress.
Why standard Screen Time isn't enough?
| Feature | Apple Screen Time | Not Now App |
|---|---|---|
| Can you ignore it? | Too easy. You just tap "Ignore Limit" and keep scrolling in 1 second. | No. You must complete a task (like math or typing) to unlock the app. It breaks the habit. |
| Is it interactive? | No. It is just a boring, static gray box with text. | Yes. It challenges you! You solve puzzles, rotate your phone, or take deep breaths. |
| How does it work? | It relies on your willpower (which runs out fast). | It uses psychology. The "pause" wakes up your brain automatically. |
| The Feeling | Feels like a restriction or punishment. | Feels like a choice. You decide if you really want to proceed. |
| The Result | You bypass it without thinking. | You regain control of your time. |
