Nowly helps you reduce mindless scrolling and use your phone more intentionally. Instead of simply blocking apps, Nowly creates small moments of awareness before you unlock distracting apps like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Reddit. When opening a blocked app, Nowly invites you to pause, reflect, and choose intentionally how you want to spend your time. Features: • Block distracting apps during custom schedules • Create intentional unlock sessions • Emotional check-ins before scrolling • Mindful reflection prompts • Screen time awareness insights • Clean and minimal design • Personalized unlock durations • Usage history and behavioral patterns Subscription required. After onboarding, full access (app blocking, check-ins, history) requires an auto-renewable subscription (weekly or yearly; free trial when eligible). Price is shown in the app before purchase. Nowly is not about punishment or productivity pressure. It’s about becoming more conscious of your habits and attention. Designed for people who want a calmer, healthier relationship with their phone. By subscribing, you agree to our Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
