Phone-free time, protected. Turning locks distracting apps all day, and in Deep Focus Mode (subscription) the Deep Focus Timer keeps them shut until it ends. -- “Just 10 more minutes... Just one more video... I’ll start tomorrow, for real... Wait, what time is it?” “Turn your time around. Take back the hours you lose to scrolling — use only the apps you truly need, when you need them.” -- ■ A screen time management app with 400K+ downloads in 160+ countries ■ Highly recommended for students, exam takers, job seekers, freelancers, and anyone seeking productivity ■ Based on Turning user data, average daily screen time went from 6 hours before Turning to 2 hours 30 minutes after (individual results vary) ■ Research on Turning’s effectiveness, based on behavioral science data, is in progress with Yonsei University’s Applied Statistics Lab — ▶ Who is Turning for? - Those who can't stop watching Shorts or Reels before bed - Those who lose entire days to impulsive smartphone use - Those preparing for exams, competitions, or major events - Those experiencing poor focus or recurring digital fatigue - Those who want to be with family and friends instead of their phone - Those who’ve tried everything to break phone addiction — ▶ Turning helps you use apps intentionally, not habitually. ▶ Now featuring a reliable 24-hour lock system to control app usage with consistency. (1) Simply register your apps once. Our intuitive, straightforward system locks distractions for 24 hours. Through the “Apps” tab, register your Disturbing Apps and Useful Apps. The free plan includes 1 Disturbing App and 1 Useful App. To open a locked app, complete a mission and set how long you’ll use it — when the time is up, the app closes automatically. (2) Need stronger control? Subscribe to Deep Focus Mode. The Deep Focus Timer instantly locks all your Disturbing Apps until it ends — there's no way back in. Deep Focus Mode also blocks website URLs, sets per-app and total daily limits, closes the usual workarounds, asks for a few deep breaths before you reopen an app, adds more mission types, gives you an AI report on your usage, tracks phone use during sleep hours, and removes all ads. In Deep Focus Mode, you can register up to 49 apps. If the basic mode felt too lenient, upgrade for full control and digital discipline. (3) Meet your digital buddy Turny on the home screen. Turny’s mood changes based on your screen time patterns :) Use Disturbing Apps less, and Useful Apps more!

할 일을 미루는 건 게을러서가 아니라, "시작"이 유독 어려워서예요. 모모는 그 시작의 문턱을 낮춰주는 귀여운 리마인더 앱이에요. 단계별 마감일 알림 D-7, D-3, D-1 — 다가올수록 톤이 조금씩 달라지는 부드러운 알림으로, 갑자기 들이닥치는 마감일 없이 여유 있게 준비할 수 있어요. 5분 타이머 미션 거창하게 시작할 필요 없어요. 모모와 함께 5분만 집중해보세요. 미션을 마칠 때마다 스트릭이 쌓이고, 작은 성취가 다음 시작을 더 쉽게 만들어줘요. 겹치는 일정도 한눈에 기간이 있는 일정(예: 프로젝트, 여행)을 캘린더에 바로 등록하고, 일정이 몰리는 주간엔 부드럽게 알려드려요. 하루 1탭 감정 체크인 오늘 기분과 집중도를 탭 한 번으로 기록하면, 주간 패턴 리포트로 나만의 컨디션 흐름을 볼 수 있어요. 나에게 맞게 커스터마이징 카테고리와 자주 쓰는 일정 템플릿을 자유롭게 만들고 관리할 수 있어요. 안심하고 쓰는 프라이버시 회원가입이나 로그인이 필요 없어요. 모든 기록은 오직 이 기기 안에만 저장되고, 어디로도 전송되지 않아요. 미뤄뒀던 일들, 오늘 모모와 함께 하나씩 가볍게 시작해봐요!
