Scroll less. Read more. You know the loop. You pick up your phone for one thing and look up forty minutes later, the thing undone. The feed is good at that. It's the only thing it's good at. Lummi blocks the apps that do this to you. Pick the ones you open without thinking, set a daily limit, and that's that - no "five more minutes" button to talk yourself into. When you reach for a blocked app anyway, Lummi doesn't just slam a wall down. It offers you the next page of whatever you're reading instead. Because there's a whole library inside. Real books, your own shelves, highlights and notes that stick around, a night mode that won't fry your eyes at 11pm. Thousands of titles. Start tonight with the classics. There's also a flame named Lummi who takes your screen time a little personally. Stay under your limit and it burns bright. Slip and it dims. It's a small thing, but a creature quietly rooting for you beats a red notification badge every time. And none of it phones home - your Screen Time data never leaves your device. We couldn't see it if we wanted to. If you own more unread books than read ones, this is for you. Enough scrolling. Start your first chapter. - Lummi requires a subscription to unlock app blocking, goals, and the full reader. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. • Subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends; your account is charged within 24 hours prior to renewal. • Manage or cancel anytime in Apple Account settings.
