Screen Time Control

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 โ 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 โ together. WHY STILL IS DIFFERENT โข The Lobby โ sit through the urge alongside others in real time. You've never felt accountability this calm. โข Pause, don't punish โ no harsh blocks, no shame, no streak guilt. โข Breathe through it โ a guided breathing rhythm with calming haptics settles you in the moment. โข Made to be calm โ soft, minimal design that lowers the temperature instead of raising it. STILL PREMIUM Unlock the full calming toolkit for when an urge feels loud: โข Breathing rhythm + haptics to physically slow you down โข Torch breathing โ your flashlight pulses to your breath โข 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 โ together. โ Questions or feedback? dvainsolutions@gmail.com Terms of Use: https://still-legal.pages.dev/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://still-legal.pages.dev/privacy/
