## What is StayAway?

Escape the doomscrolling loop without the cold turkey crash. 

Most app blockers act like digital prison wardens, locking everything down and triggering instant frustration that has you deleting the app within days. StayAway is built differently. It is your personal companion for a sustainable digital detox, designed to guide you step-by-step out of endless scrolling.
Instead of total bans, StayAway acts as a smart focus app that respects your workflow. Quick checks and essential tools like maps or work apps stay open, while mindless evening scrolling is gracefully interrupted.


SMART AUTO-BLOCKS & CONSECUTIVE LIMITS 

Break free from the scroll without feeling punished. StayAway introduces intelligent limits that adapt to your actual habits.
Set continuous usage thresholds for your highest-temptation apps
Keep uninterrupted access to essential messages, maps, and work tools
Intercept endless loops only after you've crossed your healthy limit


GROW YOUR MENTAL MUSCLES & LOG OFFLINE WINS

Blocking apps is only half the battle; filling the void is where real change happens. StayAway acts as your personal habit tracker to rebuild your attention span:
Daily Offline Wins: Log your analog achievements and build momentum every single day.
Micro-Habits: Use our structured 5-minute daily habits (like sitting in silence, moving, or stepping outside) to slowly rebuild your baseline mental stamina.
