## What is Really??

You opened Instagram. You don't know why. Your hand just went there.

Really? steps in at that moment.

When you open an app you've registered, this comes up first:

  3rd time today
  184th time so far
  Really?

  [ No, I won't ]
  Go in anyway

That's all it does. It doesn't make you wait, it doesn't lecture you, and it
doesn't stop you. It shows you the number and makes you choose. The judgement
is yours.

■ How it works
- Pick the apps you want watched, once. It uses Apple's Screen Time, so any app works
- Turning away does not raise the number. Only going in is counted
- From the 3rd time today, you write why you're going in before you can.
  Next time you write one, we show you what you wrote last time
- Once you go in, it stays quiet for 15 minutes
- The day turns over at 4 AM. YouTube at 2 AM counts as yesterday

■ Free
- Watch 2 apps
- Today's count, running total, and a turned-away chart (all apps or one)
- 1 goal date — shown as a countdown on the prompt screen (exams, tests, deadlines)

■ Subscription
- Watch up to 50 apps
- Daily limit — set how many times a day you may go in. Raising it takes effect
  the next day
- Active hours — it only asks during the hours you set (say 09:00 to 18:00)
- Usage reminders — a nudge at 5 and 10 minutes of actual use
- Save and switch between several goal dates
- My Pattern: how often you tried and how often you turned away, and the hours
  you waver most

■ Everything stays on your device
There is no server. There is no account. We do not collect what you look at or
how long you use it. We count how many times you opened it, and that number
never leaves your phone.

### 5/5 — 생각보다 더 좋아서 당황했음

*2026-08-21*

들어갈 때마다 이유 적으면서 한번 더 생각하게되는 점이 좋았어요 그리고 매일 들어간 횟수랑 총 들어간 횟수? 집계해주는데 그거 보면서도 정신차리게 되는 것 같아요 근데 무료로 제한할 수 있는 앱이 2개인 게 조금 아쉬워요

### 4/5 — 연간결제 추가

*2026-08-20*

다 좋은데 월정액 보다 가격을 낮춰서 연간 결제로 들어왔으면 좋겠어요ㅠㅠ
달에 1100원은 괜찮은데 3000원은 넘 비싼 거 같아요ㅜ!

### 3/5 — 설정시간

*2026-08-20*

앱이 안 잠기는 시간을 설정했는데 그 시간에도 앱이 계속 잠겨있네요.

### 4/5 — 돈 내야해서 아쉬움

*2026-08-20*

무제한으로 지정 가능한 다른앱 쓰다가 이거 잠깐 깔았는데, 어플 3개 이상 선택부터 유료라네요

그리고 좀 더 갖춰지면 다시 오겠습니다

### 5/5 — 켜두는 시간

*2026-08-20*

켜두는 시간 설정해도 켜두는 시간에 앱이 안 잠겨요 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — 저도 업댓 전이 더 편해요

*2026-08-16*

스크린 타임말고 그 전 방식이 더 좋앗던 듯해요 잘 쓰고 있습니다

### 5/5 — 업데이트 전이 더 편해요ㅜㅜ

*2026-08-12*

인스타 습관적으로 들어가는 거 막으려고 깔았던 건데 효과가 너무 좋아서 감탄했었거든요
근데 스크린타임으로 바꾸고 나니까 조금 번거로워진 것 같아요
스크린타임으로 하니 인스타 들어가자마자 진짜로 어플로 넘어가더니 이유 쓰고나면 인스타로 직접 다시 넘어가라더라구요
15분 제한도 없이 그냥 들어갈 때마다 묻는 편이 효과가 더 좋은 것 같아요ㅜㅜ!
단축어가 더 편한데 스크린타임에서 다시 단축어로 바꿀 방법은 없을까요ㅜㅜ?

### 5/5 — .

*2026-08-11*

좋아요! 효과있습니다 근데ㅜ 아쉬운 점을 말씀드려보자면 계속 내내 차단된 상태에 있어야하는 것 입니다ㅠ 집중할때 주로 하는 인스타나 카톡을 차단하는데 집중을 안해도 되는 상황에서 마져 차단해야하는 점이 불편합니다ㅜ 정해진 시간동안 한다던지 설정할 수 있는게 좋을 거 같아요 일과 끝나고 편히 카톡같이 연락하는 앱에 들어갈때마다 타자를 치고 들어가야하는 게 많이 아쉽습니다

### 5/5 — 앱 추가 부탁드립니다

*2026-08-10*

앱 자체는 너무 참신하고 도움이 되는데 다른 앱들을 더 제한할 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 예를 들어 제타나 네이버 웹툰 등이 추가되었으면 좋겠습니다! 이 부분 개선 되면 유료결제 해서 사용하려고 합니다. 제가 현재 가장 조절이 안 되는 앱이 제타인데 그걸 막을 수 있으면 좋을 것 같습니다 ㅜ

### 5/5 — 정말좋아욧

*2026-08-10*

써본 제가 다른앱 유료로 구독도 해봤는데 써본 차단앱 중에서 제일 효과가 좋아요!!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.12 — 2026-08-21

Many more lines to keep you going.

• 25 lines on the lock screen, 57 to type when you enter
• A different line every entry, every day, every app
• English and Japanese get the full set too

Polish.

• More breathing room between lines on the lock screen
• After a subscription ends, the screen for re-picking your 2 apps
  showed every app as "Selected app" - it now shows real names
• A few more spots now follow your chosen accent colour

### 1.0.11 — 2026-08-20

Apps you remove unlock right away.

• Fixed apps staying locked after you removed them from your list. Removing
  now takes effect immediately - no waiting until the next day
• Fixed cases where apps were not locked during the hours you set
• The "switch to the new way" notice could stay on the home screen after
  setup was already finished
• iOS's own block screen sometimes appeared instead of ours

The lock screen looks better.

• A large question mark in the accent colour you chose
• A line to keep you going - a different one each time
• The reason screen now shows the real app name

Your accent colour now applies to active hours, daily limits, and reminders.

### 1.0.10 — 2026-08-18

The first two times each day now go straight through.

Entries 1 and 2 don't ask for a reason, so they no longer take you out to
"진짜로?" and back. Tap "Go in anyway" and you stay in the app.

• Fixed apps not locking when your active hours began
• The home screen now tells you why nothing is locked right now
• Fixed entries slipping past your own daily limit

From the third time, you still write a reason — that part is unchanged.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-17

Fixes.

• Restoring a subscription could fail — if you changed phones or reinstalled
  and restore didn't work, it does now
• "0 times today" sometimes appeared and the 15 minutes wouldn't start
• With active hours set, changing your app list could lock apps outside
  those hours
• The setup notice stayed on the home screen even after you were done
• If you had declined notifications once, usage reminders could not be
  turned back on
• Choosing apps and saving gave no visible response

We also fixed cases where the counts could drift.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-13

Have it ask only while you're studying.

Set the hours "진짜로?" stays on each day. Ranges that cross midnight
work too — 10 PM to 2 AM, for example.

• Outside those hours, your apps aren't locked
• Opens outside those hours aren't counted — and the screen says so
• Home > Active hours (paid)

It's off by default. If you want it on all day as before, do nothing.

We'll also tell you on the home screen when a new version is out. That's the
only time this app uses the internet: it sends the app's own name tag and gets
back a version number. Nothing about you leaves your phone.
