Write why. Check if you did. Intenty is an intention journal for digital self-awareness. When you open a watched app, you write why you’re opening it and for how long. When time is up, Intenty asks whether you followed through — feeding your honesty rate and streak. This is not another generic app blocker. Blocking is only the trigger. The product is reflection: a private journal, insights, weekly summaries, and accountability check-ins. FEATURES: • Written Intentions: Capture your reason, duration, and optional mood before using a watched app. • Honesty Check-Ins: When your stated time ends, confirm if you stuck to your intention. • Reflection Journal: Every intention is saved and grouped by app on your device. • Intention Insights: Top apps, reasons, peak times, moods, and honesty rate. • Honesty & Reflection Streaks: Build daily momentum around pausing with purpose. • Weekly Reflection: A 7-day summary of patterns and follow-through. • Quick Reason Templates: Reuse common intentions faster. • Focus Schedules: Choose when intention prompts are active. • Productive Redirects: Optionally open Kindle, Spotify, Duolingo, and more after your intention. • Intenty Pro: Advanced insights, schedules, and an ad-free experience.

Intenty's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
