Do nothing. On purpose. The world wants every spare second of your attention. Nothing gives it back. It's a calm, single-purpose app that helps you put the phone down and simply be — no goals, no guilt, no feed waiting on the other side. To start, you don't tap a button. You turn your phone face-down. The session begins. Turn it back over to pause. That's the whole ritual — a small, physical way of stepping out of the rush. Want to make it stick? Switch on optional app-blocking so the usual temptations stay quiet while you rest. It all runs privately on your device through Apple's Screen Time — we never see what you block. No accounts. No streaks shaming you. No noise. Just a quiet place to stop for a few minutes a day. WHY NOTHING • Face-down to begin — a gesture, not another screen to manage • Optional app-blocking, powered by Apple Screen Time, fully on-device • A gentle history of your sessions, kept private on your iPhone • Calm, warm design with nothing fighting for your attention • No sign-up, no ads, no tracking across other apps Doing nothing isn't lazy. It's the rest you've been skipping. Nothing just makes room for it. — Nothing offers an optional subscription to unlock all features. Payment is handled by Apple. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms of Use: https://trynothing.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://trynothing.app/privacy

Echora is a quiet, private space for your thoughts. Capture whatever's on your mind — by text, voice, or photo — and let Echora quietly organize it for you. No feeds, no likes, no noise. Just you and your thinking over time. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Write a thought, record a voice note, or snap a photo — it's saved instantly. • Echora transcribes your voice and understands your images in the background. • Your entries are tagged and organized automatically, so you never have to file anything. • Related Ideas surface quietly when a new thought connects to something you wrote before. • Daily Review gives you a calm look back at what you've been thinking about. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your thoughts are personal. Echora doesn't sell your data, doesn't show ads, and doesn't use third-party advertising trackers. You can delete your account and data at any time. ECHO PRO Echo Pro gives you more room for recording, AI organization, voice and image entries, Related Ideas, and Daily Review. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account and can be managed or canceled anytime in Settings. Echora is a tool for reflection, not a medical, therapy, or crisis service.
