Atzaculara
A pause before the apps that eat your time.
Coming to Google Play
You open an app without deciding to. Your hand gets there by itself, and when you look up, forty minutes have gone. A time limit alone doesn't stop it.
Atzaculara adds a pause before the app opens: a few seconds, a stylized face that breathes and a simple question, do you really want to go in? The first pause of the day is short; every time you reopen the same app it gets a little longer. At midnight it starts over.
And you see the result: the history doesn't only show minutes, but also how many times, facing the pause, you let it go.
How it works
- Pick the apps that steal your time: social, video, games.
- Before they open comes the pause, which grows with every reopening.
- Set a daily limit in minutes: once you pass it, the app stays closed until tomorrow.
- With commitment mode (PRO) you decide in the morning: until midnight you can't turn the pause off or shorten it, raise a limit or remove apps from the list.
