you pick up your phone to check one thing.
twenty minutes later you're somewhere else, and you can't remember what you came for. inward puts one small, honest pause in front of that.
how it works
choose what to lock
pick the apps that eat your time and set the hours they stay closed.
check in with yourself
tell me how you're feeling and what's on your mind. you'll get one question written for today.
write, then go
answer in 50 words or more. your apps open the moment you're done.
screen time limits have an ignore button.
inward asks for something small instead. a few honest sentences. that's the key.
- screen time limit
- one tap to ignore
- deleting the app
- easy to reinstall
- inward
- opens after you've written
your journal stays with you.
no account, no sign up. your entries are saved on your phone, not on our servers.
to write your daily question, the moods you pick and the few words you share are used to generate it.
questions
can i change when it locks?
yes. you set your own schedule and can change it anytime in the app.
why 50 words?
enough to actually say something, short enough to do in a few minutes.
is it free?
it's free to start, then you can choose either a weekly or a yearly plan.
is this therapy?
no. it's a journal that keeps your chosen apps blocked until you've written. if you're going through something heavy, please talk to someone you trust or a professional.
which devices does it work on?
iPhone.
