About
WhyMin is a focus companion that asks "why are you opening this?" and "for how many minutes?" before the apps you open on autopilot.
Block the apps you choose — video, social, browsers — with Screen Time. When you try to open one, WhyMin steps in and lets you use it temporarily once you've decided your reason and time.
Pick a reason like "Look something up", "Reply or message", "Take a short break", or "Just because", then set a time from 3 to 60 minutes. When time runs out, the guarded apps are blocked again automatically. Each reason button shows how many times you've opened apps today, and the check-in screen shows today's total usage time for your guarded apps — so you notice the "just because" moments.
WhyMin isn't about banning your phone. Use it when you need it; only cut the time you spend on autopilot.
