Multiple strategies to reduce your screentime 1. Delay before opening your app: A bit of time before choosing if you need to open your distracting app. You can have the wait time increase each time you open your app. 2. Interrupt your scrolling: Check your distracting apps for short periods of time so you don't get sucked in. 3. Set an app goal and optionally block when you reach your limit. 4. Configurable for different days of the week and time by app. 5. Messages like "Is this important" before opening your app. 6. See your screen time for only your distracting apps. Don't worry about Google Maps bloating up your time. 7. Strict block your apps: Either for time ranges, after a certain number of opens or ScreenTime. 8. Locks on Settings to prevent you from changing your settings when you want to open an app. 9. Breathing and other activities to encourage you not to need to open the app while waiting for it to unlock. 10. Streaks to encourage you not to exceed your limits or override your settings.

A few minutes of real puzzles, every day — Sudoku, Queens, Tango, Patches, and Zip — designed to fit into a quick daily habit, not eat your afternoon. WHAT YOU GET • Sudoku — a full, freshly-picked puzzle each session, not a demo grid • Queens — place one queen per row, column, and color region • Tango — balance the suns and moons under the grid's constraints • Patches — carve the grid into matching regions • Zip — trace one path through every checkpoint, in order, past obstacles • Two short play windows a day, so it stays a habit, not a time sink • Hints that nudge you in the right direction without ever giving away the answer PLAY, THEN REFLECT Over multiple sessions, motivISA looks at how you play — pace, mistakes, hesitation — and surfaces an informal, qualitative trend, something like "fairly steady lately." Never a score. Never a diagnosis. Just a gentle mirror on your own patterns, framed the same way every time you see it: this is not a medical assessment and can't tell you anything a professional could. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT No account required — motivISA works immediately with anonymous sign-in. Linking a Google or Apple account is entirely optional and only unlocks longer history and sync across devices; it never gates a single puzzle. Full privacy policy: https://techsy.az/motivisa/privacy motivISA is a puzzle game first. It makes no medical, diagnostic, or treatment claims anywhere in the app.
