Autonomous makes devices that think. Desks that think. Chairs that think. Pods that think. Lamps that think. Devices that read the room, learn how you work, and respond - for you, about you, and with you. This app is how you see what they're thinking. LIVE — What your devices are reading right now. Sensor by sensor, hour by hour. SIT-STAND — Your time at the desk, logged each day. The desk knows when you're up. HISTORY — Every reading saved and scored. Look back by day or week. ALERTS — A nudge when something's off — air, noise, time in the chair. Or turn them off. PROFILES — Switch between setups for different ways of working. No data leaves your phone. In the AI age, software is solved. Hardware is next. Made on the workshop floor for people who care what their devices know about their work.

Open Instagram without even thinking about it? Clinch puts a small, calming pause between you and the apps that pull at you — so you scroll on purpose, not on reflex. HOW IT WORKS • Intercept — the moment you open an app you've chosen, Clinch steps in with a quick moment. Sometimes a breath, sometimes a puzzle or a fact. It changes each time, so it never gets stale. • Reflect — then it asks one simple question: what brought you here? Stay, or keep going. The choice is yours. • See your patterns — Clinch shows you when you reach for it the most, and how often you didn't. • Block the spiral — set time windows where the apps you pick are fully blocked, no bypass. WHY CLINCH • A pause that never gets old — different moments, not the same screen every time. • It asks what a blocker can't: why. • Nudge it, or wall it off — gentle intercepts and hard schedules, in one app. • Your data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud. Inspired by self-nudge research: a brief, calm pause before you open an app — and a real choice — helps loosen the habit over time. FREE • 1 app, the core intercept moments, today + this-week stats, and the home-screen widget. CLINCH PRO • Unlimited apps and block schedules • All six intercept moments • Coach — turns your patterns into one-tap block windows • Monthly trends and reflections • Medium and large widgets Clinch Pro: $1.99/month · $14.99/year (7-day free trial) · $39.99 lifetime. Break the scroll. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
