Luciditi® is the easiest and most secure way to prove who you are and who others claim to be. AGE Accounts * Anonymously prove you are over a required age without supplying any identifying details, not even your date of birth IDENTITY Accounts * Prove your Age or Identity Online and In Person * Complete Right To Rent, Right To Work or DBS checks (when requested) * Sign into a website without a password * Share sensitive information with someone you don’t know Luciditi reduces fraud and creates trust between unconnected people and systems. You may have been asked to download Luciditi because: * You need to prove your age to a web site with age restrictions * An UK employer has requested a Right to Work and/or DBS check * A UK rental agency or Landlord has requested Right to Rent check * You want to hold a Digital Credential and need to activate it (such as Luciditi Age Proof - https://ageproof.luciditi.co.uk) * Or you just want a free Digital Identity or Proof of Age (UK and AUS residents only) Use your Luciditi App to: * Provide proof of Age via presentation of an In-Person Credential (UK users will need an Age Proof credential - see https://ageproof.luciditi.co.uk) * Request Photo ID and Age verification from others * Check the Identity of individuals arriving at your business premises * Accurately exchange sensitive details such as bank and payment details * Reduce data retention by requesting only that which is needed, when it's needed * Revoke access to data you have already supplied, in real-time, at any time * Use your app to login to other apps and services that support Luciditi Sign-In PLEASE READ: An Age account can be used for online proof of age. Its quick and anonymous and only true/false will be returned to the requesting site. No identity docs required!

The time taken to verify members from other countries will vary depending on the quality of information sources available in that country. - FOR INDIVIDUALS: Users who's accounts are not linked to a business will require a 6-digit code provided when: {i} After purchase of a credential (such as Age Proof - see https://ageproof.luciditi.co.uk) {ii} After signing up or installing another app that uses Luciditi for ID Verification {iii} Free code requested on the signup code entry page (UK and Australia only) After launching the app, use the “Sign Up | Create an Account” option from the start page. - FOR BUSINESS USERS: You will have received an email with your one-time registration code or a page displaying a QR code which is linked to your organisation.

why? We don’t think your phone is the enemy. And we don’t think every minute on your screen is a minute wasted. Sometimes you open Instagram because you need to reply to someone. Sometimes you open YouTube because you want to watch something. Sometimes you just want to do nothing. That’s okay. The problem isn’t using your phone. The problem is using it without choosing to. We unlock. We tap. We scroll. And somewhere along the way, we stop knowing why we started. So we built why? Not to block you. Not to shame you. Not to tell you how many hours of your life you’ve wasted. Just one small question, at the moment it matters: Why? Why are you opening this? What are you looking for? What do you actually want to do? Sometimes, asking the question is enough. Sometimes, you’ll realize you do want to continue. Good. Continue. Sometimes you’ll realize you don’t. Good. Close it. Both are wins. Because the goal isn’t less screen time. The goal isn’t perfect discipline. The goal isn’t becoming someone who never scrolls. The goal is something much simpler: To put you back in the driver’s seat. A phone should be a tool you pick up, not a place you disappear into. So pause. Ask yourself. And choose. Why? FREE & PRO why? is free for two apps. Pro removes the two-app limit. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and, for renewals, within 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. REQUIREMENTS why? requires Screen Time access, which iOS requests during setup. You can withdraw this permission at any time. Showing all three answers together requires iOS 26.4 or later. On earlier versions, the question still appears with one answer and a way back. Fifteen minutes is the shortest access window Apple’s system allows. PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. Your data stays on your device.
