- For
- Android users trying to interrupt autopilot scrolling
- Worth noticing
- It offers up to two or four daily nudges, with quiet hours taking precedence and ignored prompts reducing later interruptions.
Field notes
The app requests Android Usage Access to track time in apps and switching frequency; its page says it does not inspect messages, screen contents, or typing. Nudges draw from eight categories, including language, reflection, movement, and AI prompts, and can be set to ceilings of two or four per day; quiet hours take precedence. A “Not now” response makes the app back off, while ignoring a nudge reduces later interruptions.
