Grounded is a somatic screen time app. It doesn't block your apps. It wakes you up before you open them.
Most people spend over four hours a day on their phones. Most of that time isn't chosen. It's a thumb reaching before the brain catches up.
Grounded sits at the door of the apps that pull you under and offers you a small moment of awareness before you go in:
a breath.
a question.
a single word back to yourself.
Not to control you. To bring you back to awareness, so you can choose.

How it works
Pick the apps that pull you under — TikTok, Instagram, whatever your loop is. When your thumb reaches for one of them, Grounded interrupts with a 15-second awareness check before the app opens.
Six different checks rotate so your brain never habituates:
Breath Reset — two slow breaths guided by a fibonacci spiral
One Breath — a single, slower breath, for when two feels like too much
Body Check — notice where you're holding tension
The Noticing — what's actually happening in this moment
Emotional Temp — how are you feeling, in one word
Honest Mirror — ask yourself why you reached for the phone
After the check, you decide: open the app for 2, 5, or 10 minutes — or leave it open until you decide to re-lock it yourself.

What you get
Hours back in your day. A clearer picture of where your attention actually goes. A gentler relationship with your phone that doesn't rely on shame, willpower, or deleting the apps entirely.
You don't have a discipline problem. You have an awareness gap. Grounded closes it.

Inspired by the book Safe to Receive and the nervous system work behind it.
