Pulsation helps you pause when scrolling becomes automatic — with one gentle action, then a quiet return to yourself. Most wellness apps ask you to track habits, earn rewards, finish courses, or spend more time inside the product. Pulsation does the opposite: one brief action at a time, then you leave. When scrolling turns automatic, Pulsation offers a short calm prompt, for example: - Feet on the ground - Find 3 things - Triangle breath - Relax your jaw - Drop your shoulders - Notice 3 sounds - Press your palms together How it works When scrolling becomes automatic, Pulsation offers one quiet invitation and one small action. Tap the circles to continue, then leave — Pulsation stays in the background for the next invitation. Timing adapts gently to your recent use on this device. No streaks. No feed. No score to chase. The goal is not more time in the app — it is a softer pause. Privacy. All data stays on your device. No account required. Pulsation does not read or analyze your other apps. Note: Pulsation is a wellbeing app and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.

67 Path is built by students, for students. We know you can't quit social media. It's part of your life. But you also know the feeling — you open Instagram for a second and look up later wondering where the time went. Other apps try to fix this with bans, blocking, or parental controls. Schools have tried banning phones outright. It doesn't work — students bypass it and resent it. The irony of most self-control apps: they're built for people who struggle with self-control, yet they require the most discipline to use. Miss a day, break a streak, fall off the leaderboard — and the tool meant to help becomes another source of shame. 67 Path works differently. HOW IT WORKS At the moment you open Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Snapchat, 67 Path creates a brief pause — a structured 3-step check-in: Step 1 — Intent Why are you opening this? Pick a reason, even "literally no reason." Step 2 — Session How much time do you actually need right now? Step 3 — Mood How are you feeling? This connects your digital behavior to how you actually feel. Takes about 10 seconds. Then you're in. NO BANS. NO MONITORING. NO SHAME. — No blocking. We don't restrict access to any app. — No parent or school access. Your data is never shared. — No leaderboards, streaks, or comparison. Miss a day — it's fine. BACKED BY RESEARCH 67 Path's approach is grounded in published research on intentional-entry interventions, including a peer-reviewed study showing significant improvements in self-control, reduced absentmindedness, and increased autonomy among teens after two weeks of use. Our medical advisor, a Stanford visiting instructor and former neurosurgeon, supports the same conclusion: limiting access alone isn't sustainable — mindful, intentional use is. The data agrees too. Most students don't want all-day bans — they want tools that leave the choice in their hands. The vast majority of teens say they want better digital literacy education, but most aren't getting it. 67 Path closes that gap with something that works in the moment, not just in a classroom. FOR STUDENTS, NOT ABOUT THEM This app was built by students who understand what it's actually like to grow up with a phone in your hand. We're not adults telling you to put it down. We're on your side — and so is the science. Try 67 Path. Keep using the apps you love. Just build the habit of noticing why.
