The smartest way to break free from digital distractions.
Not Now automatically blocks distracting apps so you can focus on what matters. No willpower required. Just set it and forget it.
Stop opening apps on autopilot. Not Now creates a “conscious pause” before every launch, forcing your brain to decide if you really need to scroll.
Track your progress with detailed analytics. Watch your screen time drop and your productivity soar week after week.
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?”
Not Now shows you your own face, plus the number of times you have already tried to open that app today. Seeing the count is usually enough to make you stop.
See how many minutes you saved by not looking at your phone! We show you a simple chart to visualize your progress.
