Palmrest is a mirror, not a blocker. You pick the apps you open without thinking. The next time your thumb goes there, Palmrest steps in for a few seconds: tap, breathe, tap again. If you still want the app, it opens. If you don't, you just saved yourself a scroll you never chose. Every time you do open it, Palmrest asks one question: why now? Bored, habit, a notification, an escape, or something you actually need. That answer is the whole point. Over a week it shows you what really pulls at you, and it is rarely the notification. WHAT IT DOES • A pause of 5, 10 or 20 seconds before the apps you choose • "Why now?" after you open: one tap, no typing • Today: how many times you paused, how many times you let it go • Streaks that count the days you let at least one go • A daily summary notification at the time you pick, only on days you paused • A home screen widget with today's count • English and Turkish, light and dark, full Dynamic Type WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No blocking. You can always open the app. The pause is the product. • No guilt. No red numbers, no "you failed" screens. • No account. Nothing to sign up for. • No spying. Palmrest never sees which apps you chose or what you do in them. Apple's Screen Time framework keeps that on your phone. PALMREST PLUS The free version pauses one app. Plus removes that limit and adds the weekly picture: which reason drives your opens, the hours you reach for your phone most, and a medium widget with the week at a glance. Yearly with a 7-day free trial, or monthly. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
