About

Caught yourself scrolling again at midnight? Kuu (空, "emptiness") is a refuge app — a place to escape TO the moment an urge to scroll or binge hits. No blocking, no surveillance. Just a calm place to spend the few minutes until the wave recedes. ■ Wave — breathing starts the moment you open the app - Physiological sigh / 4-7-8 / box breathing - The chemical wave of an urge peaks in about 90 seconds — visualized with a timer - Surfed it or got swept away: log it either way, without blame ■ Wisdom — 24 cards from East and West - Buddhist emptiness, Yogacara, Zen, and Stoic philosophy - The science of dopamine: wanting vs. liking, the pleasure-pain balance, the 90-second rule - Practical tools: the 10-minute rule, HALT, cold water, urge surfing - Every card ends with one small action to try right now ■ Stillness — slowly drifting ink-wash landscapes - Moon and sea, mountain mist, a rock garden, bamboo, snow, stars ■ Log — statistics without shame - Day streaks, waves surfed, a two-week chart - Everything stays on your device. No account, no network, no ads. An urge is a wave. It rises, peaks, and always recedes. Keep a place for those few minutes in your pocket. This app is not a medical device and is not intended for diagnosis or treatment.

- The breathing guide is now 4-7-8 (inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8) for a simpler, calmer screen - Choose from three guide sounds: temple (bowl, mokugyo, bell), singing bowl, or ocean waves. You can hear exactly when to inhale, hold, and exhale - The app gate now works with any app on your iPhone, including Kindle and Chrome - After the 90 seconds, Kuu takes you straight to the app you were opening - The status bar is hidden during the gate, so you can't slip back to the previous app by accident - Rewrote the gate setup guide with step-by-step diagrams
