Intentionality. Stay Present. vs Instead

Intentionality is a simple way to live more moments on purpose. Choose a real-life mission, put your phone away, and be fully present. No notifications. No distractions. No pressure. Whether you’re spending time with friends, focusing deeply, or taking an intentional break, Intentionality turns time away from your phone into meaningful moments lived, not measured by likes or streaks, but by presence. How it works: – Choose a real-life mission – Read a short briefing to clarify your intention – Put your phone away and stay present – When you return, your intentional time is recorded What makes Intentionality different: – No gamification – No rewards or streak pressure – No unnecessary tracking – Designed to disappear while you live Intentionality isn’t about doing more. It’s about being there, on purpose.

Instead is a menu of things you'd rather do than scroll. You never decide to lose an hour to your phone — it just happens. Instead fixes the moment right before that. When the urge to scroll hits, it hands you one small, real-life thing to do instead, sized to the time and energy you actually have. Think of it like a restaurant menu for your free minutes: • Starters (1–5 min) — easy wins: step outside, splash cold water, three slow breaths • Mains (10–30 min) — the good stuff: a real walk, ten pages of a book, make the call • Desserts — quick joy, not junk: one loud song, pet an animal, watch the sky Instead requires a paid subscription to unlock its content. New users get a 3-day free trial, after which the subscription auto-renews unless cancelled. WHY IT WORKS When the urge to scroll hits, you don't make good decisions. So you decide now, while you're calm. You build your own menu in about two minutes, and Instead serves it back to you exactly when you need it — no willpower required. HOW IT WORKS • Tell Instead your mood and how much time you have - it filters the menu to what fits this exact moment • Tap "Surprise me" and let it choose for you • Finish it, build a streak, and watch your screen-free habit grow • Add, edit, and personalize your own activities anytime • See your weekly stats and history INSTEAD IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO • Cut your screen time and stop doomscrolling • Break a phone or social-media habit - without an app blocker nagging you • Try a gentler digital detox or dopamine detox • Be more present, mindful, and intentional with your downtime • Find quick things to do instead of reaching for your phone Instead isn't another screen-time blocker or app limit that just tells you "no." It gives you a better "yes" - a personal, curated list of analog, offline, real-life things that leave you feeling better than a feed ever could.
