01
Pause before you scroll
When you open a feed, Gift of Now asks you to decide first.
A gentler phone blocker
Right here.
Right now.
The phone blocker for people who've already tried blockers: it catches you on autopilot and keeps every visit short.
Coming soon on AndroidJoin the beta
A small pause
Do you want to be here?
Choose a short visit, or close the app.
How it works
A little space between impulse and action
02
Every visit has an end
You choose how long. The app keeps you to it.
03
Your rules stay protected
Making rules stricter is instant. Loosening them takes 24 hours, or a partner's PIN.
Why it's different
Protection that respects your whole life
Substitutes do not reset the clock
Switching Instagram for YouTube does not give you a fresh start. Your time is your time.
The essentials stay yours
Gift of Now never touches calls, messages, maps or banking.
Private by default
Usage data never leaves your phone. No accounts. No tracking.
Optional shared accountability
A partner can hold a PIN, so your rules are not only yours to negotiate in a weak moment.
Private by design.
Your phone use is yours. Gift of Now keeps the details on your device and out of our hands.
Questions, answered
A calm start
Is it free?+
Free during the beta.
Which phones?+
Android now, iPhone later.
Does it read my messages?+
No. It only sees which app is open and for how long, and that stays on your phone.
What if I really need an app?+
You can always make a short, conscious visit; emergency visits are limited.
Can I turn it off?+
Yes, but loosening rules takes 24 hours, or the partner's PIN.
How do I delete my data?+
Uninstall the app; nothing is stored on our servers.
