shin. – Daily Interruptions
Stop your autopilot. Daily.
Free · In‑App Purchases
You've optimized everything in your life. Except yourself.
shin. is a daily stoic prompt for men who deleted Headspace and Calm but still want something sharper. No streaks. No mood tracking. No coach-voice. One prompt a day — often a single sentence — interrupts your autopilot. Ten seconds.
For men who want something on their phone that won't let them hide.

HOW IT WORKS
One interruption a day. Up to eight if you want more. Each one is a short, direct question built on three traditions:
• Alexander Technique — body awareness. "Drop your shoulders. They're up again." The body knows what the mouth won't say.
• Stoic philosophy — clarity of choice. "You said yes to something you'll regret. Tomorrow you'll say yes again." Not comfort. Questioning.
• Identity work — who you actually are. "The version that walks into the meeting, and the version that hears the door close. Which one is you?"

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 150+ prompts across three traditions
• Three notification types you control: Daily Anchor, Shatter Interventions, Silent Presence
• The Source — a library of short lessons behind the questions
• A monthly letter — one short essay on the first Sunday of each month. Rare on purpose.
• Resurface — old questions return, once a month, so you can see who you used to be
• Local-only data. No analytics. No cloud. No account.

WHY
Most apps in this space sell comfort. shin. doesn't. The monk doesn't want to heal you. He wants to interrupt you.
Stay upright.
