Block the apps. Open with intention. Pause. Ask why. Set a time. SelfFirst helps you use short-form video, social media, and other distracting apps more intentionally. SelfFirst blocks the apps that pull you in. When you want to open one, three questions come first: Why now? Notice what is pulling you in. How long? Set a time before you start, instead of relying on willpower to stop. What will you do afterward? Keep your next priority in mind before you start scrolling. These three questions are not meant to add another obstacle. They create a moment to make a more conscious choice. SelfFirst gives you temporary access, not an endless bypass. When your time is up, the app is automatically blocked again. Finished early? Stop access whenever you’re ready and return to what matters. HOW IT WORKS • Block distracting apps — Choose short-form video, social media, and other apps or categories that easily pull you in • Pause. Ask why. Choose — Answer three questions before you scroll • Set a time — Decide how long you want to use the app before opening it • Time’s up. Blocked again — Access ends automatically when your time runs out • Stop early whenever you’re done — Return to what matters without waiting for the timer to finish SEE YOUR CHOICES • Review when you unlocked an app, why you opened it, and how long you used it • See the time you reclaimed — including streaks, unlocks, intercepts, charts, and estimated time reclaimed • No email or phone number required UNDERSTAND YOUR SCROLLING • Understand why you scroll — Learn what your viewing habits may reveal about your patterns and triggers • Learn from research — Explore recent academic and experimental findings on how short-form video and social apps may affect attention, sleep, mood, and everyday habits • Get useful guidance — Turn research insights into practical ideas for healthier phone use and everyday routines RESEARCH-INFORMED DESIGN SelfFirst’s design is informed by behavioral science and research on short-form video use, self-control, attention, and procrastination. We draw on publicly available research and guidance from universities and professional organizations, including Harvard Medical School, the University of Pennsylvania, and the American Psychological Association (APA). These sources inform the ideas behind SelfFirst. They do not represent endorsements of SelfFirst or evidence that SelfFirst will reduce screen time. SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE ACCESS Use SelfFirst with one app for free. Premium unlocks unlimited apps and app categories. Monthly: $0.99 Yearly: $9.99 BUILT FOR iPHONE SelfFirst uses Apple’s Screen Time controls to help manage the apps and categories you choose. Screen Time is required to block the apps you choose.
