You’ve arrived at this app because you want to rethink how you use your smartphone—and that alone is something to be proud of. Just by searching for an app to help with restrictions, you’ve already taken the first step toward changing your habits. That small step, repeated consistently, can take you farther than you ever imagined. NoMore is here to quietly support you on that journey. By reducing screen time, you’ll be able to focus more deeply on studying, work, or hobbies. You’ll find more mental space, and your daily life will gradually come into balance. NoMore was created to support exactly that kind of change. ---------- That said, lasting change needs a system that’s sustainable and stress-free. Just as extreme diets are harmful and likely to rebound, extreme digital detoxes or harsh restrictions can feel frustrating and often lead users to delete the app. Overly strict limits don’t last. But if it’s too easy to bypass the restriction, it doesn’t work either. That’s why NoMore is designed with “not too weak, not too strong” limits—just enough to create a lasting experience without frustration. Instead of completely blocking access, NoMore lets you open apps if you really want to. But to do so, you’ll need to complete a brief breathing task, which helps prevent mindless app opening. This subtle friction makes you pause—and helps you open apps only when truly necessary. This approach is supported by behavioral science: adding small obstacles or distancing yourself from bad habits makes them easier to change. ---------- In addition, NoMore lets you set time limits—like “only 5 minutes” or “only 10 minutes”—before opening social media or games. When the set time ends, the app automatically closes, helping you avoid slipping into 30-minute or hour-long scroll sessions without realizing. Many users have told us this feature has been a real lifesaver. ---------- NoMore doesn’t rely on a “Start” button to begin blocking. After all, if you can tap that button, you’re already in study mode or focus mode. But the real danger is before that—when you’re aimlessly picking up your phone. Right after waking up, while on the toilet, in bed before sleep, or when taking a short break after a task or study session— NoMore steps in with a gentle brake before those moments turn into hours of mindless scrolling. We’ve also chosen not to rely on time-based blocking like “limit from 10pm to 11pm.” Because even if you block nighttime use, what if you end up scrolling all day? Instead, NoMore focuses on gently intercepting unconscious app launches throughout the entire day. ---------- You don’t have to be perfect. Even stopping yourself once a day from opening an app out of habit is real progress. Let’s shape your days with NoMore—little by little. Make space for what matters: studying, working, playing, and becoming more of who you want to be.
