Just the question you have been avoiding, when you least expect it. HOW IT WORKS - One introspective question arrives at a random time inside the windows you choose - Answer in two taps: acted, or drifted - Watch the honest picture build over time in your Mirror WHY QUESTIONS, NOT QUOTES An affirmation tells you who to be. A question makes you look. Offscript runs on a curated bank of sharp, human questions across the areas that actually run your life: discipline, avoidance, ambition, time, relationships, money, ego. MAKE IT YOURS - Choose your windows and how often it interrupts you - Unlock every question pack - Arm the screen-time Interrupt: the question appears the moment you reach for the app you keep opening on autopilot Free every day with one question. Premium unlocks custom timing, the full bank, all packs, your complete Mirror, and the Interrupt. Offscript is a curated, human app. No AI, no filler, no streaks to protect.
