YOU CAN'T STAY STILL FOR 10 MINUTES And that's the problem. Every app wants your attention. We want you to have none. STILL IS DIFFERENT. This isn't another meditation app with streaks, points, or premium subscriptions. Still uses your phone's sensors to PROVE you're doing nothing. Actually nothing. Put your phone down. Face down. Flat on a surface. Don't touch it. Don't move it. Don't check it. Any movement? Session over. Any touch? Session over. Switch apps? Session over. WHAT YOU GET Proof of Stillness - We track movement with gyroscope + accelerometer. Can't fake it. 100% Offline - No internet. Ever. We literally can't track you. No Accounts - No sign-up. No email. No profile. Just stillness. Your Data is Tiny - We store 2KB. Other apps store 2GB. Export it anytime. Real Progress - See how many notifications you avoided. Watch your stillness capacity grow.\ NO B******T No notifications No social features No streaks that guilt you No "premium" upsells No data collection No manipulation JUST STILLNESS
