About

I built "Are You Sure" because I wanted a simple way to reduce my screen time. Essentially I was looking to help break a common loop... I would pick up my phone to check something, and twenty minutes later, I'm halfway down a rabbit hole without an intent. So I wanted to build a tool that didn't just "block" apps, but instead helped me document and understand why I was opening them in the first place. How it works: When you try to open an app you’ve locked, "Are You Sure" gently interrupts that habit loop. It asks you a simple question: "Why do you want to use this app right now?" You type your reason, and then (facing your own reason) you get to decide: Are you sure? Features: The Conversation: Your history with each app is stored as a private chat with yourself. Seeing your past reasons is meant to help you spot patterns and decide if that "quick check" was actually worth it. Active Sessions: When you do decide to unlock an app, you get a set amount of time. Once it’s up, the intention loop starts again. Privacy First: There are no accounts and no tracking. Your data never leaves your device. It’s your history, for your eyes only. Purely Helpful: No ads, no paywalls, and no annoying notifications. The app stays in the background until you need it. I built this for the fun of learning and for the benefit of reducing my own screen time. I hope it helps you find a little more space in your day for the things that are meaningful to you. And if you find it helpful, there’s an option to leave a tip, but the app is (and always will be) fully free to use. Thank you for checking this out, Ant
