Opened an app for "just 5 minutes" and suddenly lost 2 hours? It’s not your fault. Algorithms are designed to keep you scrolling. But when you're stuck in the infinite loop, you don't need a harsh lock that treats you like a child—you just need a gentle tap on the shoulder. Meet ObsessLess. We reject the "forceful blocking" approach found in other apps. Instead, we use Mindful Nudges to help you break the trance of doomscrolling and regain control of your time. It’s like that caring voice of a parent or a friend, gently reminding you: "Hey, is this how you want to spend your day?" KEY FEATURES: The Gentle Nudge Set your reminder intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes). While you are scrolling through social media, ObsessLess will display a soft, full-screen prompt to interrupt the "zombie scrolling" mode. No impossible passcodes, no hard blocks. Just a moment of pause that gives you the choice: continue scrolling, or step back into the real world. "Lucid Moments" Tracker We don't just interrupt you; we celebrate your wins. Every time you see a nudge and decide to put your phone down, we record it as a "Lucid Moment." • Track how many times you successfully broke free from the algorithm. • See exactly how much time you've reclaimed for your real life. • Turn self-control into a rewarding game. WHY OBSESSLESS? • Non-Aggressive: We build awareness, not walls. • Mindfulness First: Designed to help you build better habits, not just restrict usage. • Positive Reinforcement: See the actual time you've saved.

Your time deserves a reset. Reset helps you spend less time scrolling and more time doing what matters. Block distracting apps, create focus schedules, and build a healthier relationship with your phone—without guilt or extreme rules. Whether you want to focus at work, study without interruptions, protect your bedtime, or be more present with the people around you, Reset gives you a simple way to set boundaries that fit your life. STOP DISTRACTIONS BEFORE THEY START Choose the apps that pull you in, start a Reset, and create space to focus. Add limits to social media, short videos, games, news, or any app that keeps stealing “just a few more minutes.” Reset adds a little friction between impulse and action, giving you a chance to choose what happens next. TURN SCREEN-FREE TIME INTO FOCUSED TIME Reset goes beyond app blocking. Use the Pomodoro timer for structured focus-and-break cycles, or start the open-ended stopwatch for reading, studying, deep work, and creative sessions. Pair either timer with app blocking to stay on task. WHY YOU’LL LOVE RESET • App Blocking: Block distracting apps when you need uninterrupted time. • Pomodoro Timer: Move through tasks with focused work and recovery breaks. • Focus Stopwatch: Track open-ended sessions at your own pace. • Smart Schedules: Reduce distractions automatically during work, study, evenings, or bedtime. • Flexible Limits: Set boundaries for apps you use on autopilot. • Mindful Pauses: Interrupt automatic checking with a moment to reconsider. • Stronger Boundaries: Add extra friction when you need help sticking to your plan. • Screen Time Insights: See where your attention goes and spot distracting patterns. • Focus Progress: Track sessions and turn small changes into lasting habits. • Essential Access: Keep important tools available while blocking distractions. MORE LIFE BEYOND THE SCREEN Reset is not about giving up your phone. It is about deciding how you spend your day. Use Reset to: • Finish work with fewer interruptions • Stay focused while studying • Cut back on social media and endless feeds • Build a calmer wind-down routine before bed • Be present while reading, exercising, or resting • Spend uninterrupted time with family and friends • Reduce the mental noise of constant checking The goal is not only a lower screen time number. It is what that time becomes: a finished project, better rest, a real conversation, or an hour that feels like your own. BUILD HABITS YOU CAN ACTUALLY KEEP Lasting change needs more than a weekly screen time report. Reset combines practical boundaries, schedules, mindful friction, and visible progress—one small choice at a time. No shame. No all-or-nothing detox. No need to be perfect. Start with one app. Protect one part of your day. Return tomorrow and reset again. RESET PREMIUM Reset is free to download with core screen time and focus tools.
