Shelly vs Screen Time Control

Take back your day with Shelly — your friendly screen time coach to help you build healthy phone habits. Shelly is a cute snail who lives on your phone. The less you doom-scroll, the healthier Shelly gets. The more you mindlessly scroll, the more Shelly retreats into her shell. It's a simple visual nudge that works — no guilt trips, no lectures, just a little friend keeping you honest. Most of us spend 5+ hours glued to our screens without realizing it. Shelly flips the script: block the apps that drain your time, set focus schedules, and get gentle breathing reminders when you're about to spiral into another scroll session.

All monitoring and blocking happen entirely on your device. Your usage data never leaves your phone — ever. No tracking. No ads. Just you and Shelly. FOUNDERS NOTE: I built Shelly because I was scrolling for 6 hours a day on my phone and couldn't stop. None of the screen time apps felt right — they were either too strict, too preachy, too complicated, or too easy to bypass. Shelly is the app I wished existed: simple, kind, and effective.

Right now, someone else is fighting the same urge you are. In Still, you wait it out together. Every other app leaves you to battle the scroll alone. Still doesn't. When you reach for an app that pulls you in, Still pauses you and opens the door to the Lobby: a quiet, shared room where real people are riding out the exact same urge, at the exact same moment. No chat. No profiles. No noise. Just the quiet strength of knowing you're not the only one. Because urges come in waves. Wait about 60 seconds and the pull fades — and it's a lot easier to wait when you're not waiting alone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that tend to swallow your time. 2. The next time you open one, Still gently pauses you. 3. Step into the Lobby, breathe, and let the urge pass — together. WHY STILL IS DIFFERENT • The Lobby — sit through the urge alongside others in real time. You've never felt accountability this calm. • Pause, don't punish — no harsh blocks, no shame, no streak guilt. • Breathe through it — a guided breathing rhythm with calming haptics settles you in the moment. • Made to be calm — soft, minimal design that lowers the temperature instead of raising it. STILL PREMIUM Unlock the full calming toolkit for when an urge feels loud: • Breathing rhythm + haptics to physically slow you down • Torch breathing — your flashlight pulses to your breath • White noise to quiet a restless mind You don't need more willpower. You need a pause, and a little company. Break the loop before it starts — together. — Questions or feedback? dvainsolutions@gmail.com Terms of Use: https://still-legal.pages.dev/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://still-legal.pages.dev/privacy/
