The life you want starts with an intention. Most apps push you to do more. Intentions asks you to do what matters and let go of the rest. Intentions is a daily coach for conscious living. It helps you set a meaningful intention, check in with how you feel each day, and take one small action that moves you forward without pressure, burnout, or the guilt of missing a day. HOW IT WORKS Set an intention for the next 30, 60, or 90 days. Not a rigid goal, but a living commitment to the life you're building. Each morning, your AI coach checks in with your mood and energy, then builds a personalized plan for your day. Take one small action, complete one practice, and read one insight a day. That's it. WHAT'S INSIDE AI Coach Tell it anything. Goals, fears, doubts, blocks. It listens, reflects, and helps you move through whatever's in the way. Works with any intention, any topic, any stage of life. Daily Check-in Rate your mood, energy, and focus. Your coach adapts everything to how you feel today. Focus Timer Distraction-free time for the one action that matters most today. 3-Minute Insights Bite-sized lessons on emotional intelligence, confidence, relationships, focus, and more, tied directly to the topic of your intention. Metaphorical Cards Draw a card and receive a message from your subconscious. WHO IS IT FOR Intentions is for anyone who feels the gap between the life they're living and the life they want and is ready to close it intentionally. For those who know they're capable of more. And are done waiting to feel ready. For the woman juggling everything who needs a space that's just hers. For anyone tired of hustle culture who wants to grow without burning out. No streaks to protect. No guilt for off days. Set an intention and take one small step at a time, on your terms. SUBSCRIPTION Try everything free: start your 7-day free trial.

StepScroll blocks the apps that eat your day and opens them again when you move. Walk, squat, hold a plank or stretch, and every step and rep turns into minutes of scroll time. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps you want to use less. StepScroll blocks them with Apple's Screen Time. • Earn minutes by moving. Your steps count on their own, from your iPhone or Apple Watch through Apple Health. Or prop up your phone and the camera counts your reps and holds. • Spend them when you like. The apps open, the timer runs, and they block again by themselves when it reaches zero. 32 MOVES, FOUR WAYS TO EARN • Workout: squats, lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, plank, wall sit and more • Yoga: tree, warrior II, chair, downward dog, cobra, cat-cow • Stretch: forward fold, hamstring, quad, child's pose, butterfly and more • Pilates: glute bridge, the hundred, roll-up, teaser, dead bug and more YOUR RULES • Choose Gentle, Balanced or Strict, then fine-tune what every move is worth. • Set the steps that open your day and the minutes they unlock. • Minutes you earn are banked and never expire. • A real emergency? You get 3 emergency unlocks a month. SEE IT CHANGE Keep your streak, watch your steps add up, and see the time you spend in the apps you've blocked fall week by week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The camera counts reps on your phone. Frames are never recorded or sent anywhere. • Your Screen Time data and the apps you pick never leave your phone. • StepScroll only reads your step count from Apple Health and never writes to it. • No account, no sign-up.
