## What is Novi?

Novi helps you break free from phone addiction and reclaim your focus.



HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose which apps distract you most
2. Lock them by tapping a Novi
3. Tap again to unlock

No willpower needed. No complicated settings. Just a simple physical action that creates a barrier between you and endless scrolling.



WHY NFC?
Unlike other app blockers that can be bypassed with a few taps, Novi requires you to physically interact with an NFC tag to unlock your apps. Place your tag somewhere inconvenient - on your fridge, in another room, or at your desk - and suddenly checking social media requires actual effort.


FEATURES
• Block any app on your phone
• Instant lock/unlock with NFC tap
• Clean, minimal interface
• No ads, no tracking
• Works offline


PERFECT FOR
• Students who need to focus while studying
• Professionals who want distraction-free work time
• Anyone trying to reduce screen time
• People who've tried other blockers without success
