## What is Gita?

Reach for Instagram. Get the Gita instead.

Gita: Focus & Calm puts a single, intentional pause between you and the apps that pull you in. Once a day, the apps you choose lock. To open them, you take a breath, tell the app how you feel, and receive a verse from the Bhagavad Gita - matched to your moment, explained in clear, everyday English.

No Sanskrit to decode. No jargon. Just 5,000-year-old wisdom, right where you reach for your phone.

— HOW IT WORKS —

1. Pick the apps that distract you most - Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, anything.
2. Once a day, those apps lock behind a gentle gate.
3. When you go to open one, pause and choose how you feel - restless, anxious, low, craving, grateful, and more.
4. Receive a shloka matched to that feeling, with a simple explanation of what it means for you today.
5. Reflect, then your apps unlock. The pause is the point.

— WHY IT WORKS —

The problem was never the apps. It's the reach - the automatic, unconscious tap. Gita: Focus & Calm interrupts that loop with something worth pausing for. Over time, the pause becomes a habit, and the habit becomes calm.

— WHAT'S INSIDE —

• All 700 verses of the Bhagavad Gita, each explained in plain, modern English - no spiritual background needed.
• Mood-matched wisdom: the verse you see fits how you actually feel right now.
• A daily reading streak to keep the practice alive.
• Insights that show your progress over time.
• A beautiful, distraction-free design built for stillness, not stimulation.
• Fully on-device and private. Your moods and reflections never leave your phone.

— BUILT ON SCREEN TIME —

Gita: Focus & Calm uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to lock your chosen apps. You stay in control - choose what to block, and the app never sees which specific apps you use.

— FOR ANYONE WHO —

• Opens Instagram without meaning to.
• Wants less doom-scrolling and more presence.
• Is curious about the Gita but put off by dense translations.
• Wants a calmer, more intentional relationship with their phone.

This isn't another app blocker that you'll fight and disable by Tuesday. It's a daily moment of wisdom that happens to keep you focused.

Pause the scroll. Find the calm.
