Soma - mindful app blocker
Break the doomscrolling cycle
Free · In‑App Purchases
SOMA is a mindful app blocker that replaces screen time limits with breathwork and movement. Instead of a timer you'll tap through anyway, SOMA requires something physical — the urge fades. You arrive at your feed on purpose, not on autopilot.
Place your phone on your heart. Close your eyes. Wait for the Pulse.

THE SHIELD
Block distracting apps, categories, or websites before you even open them. Enable The Shield and every time you reach for Instagram, TikTok, or any app you find hard to resist, SOMA steps in with a brief physical reset.

THREE WAYS TO UNLOCK
Breathe
A guided 4-7-8 breathwork session — 4 seconds in, 7 hold, 8 out. Your phone's motion sensor detects real chest movement, so you can't just set it on the table. Three cycles. About a minute. Worth it.
Walk
25 steps to break the loop (adjustable). Get off the couch, come back with intention.
Wait
Can't move right now? A 60-second mindful countdown with a touch-and-hold keeps the pause intact.

THE VAULT
Track your digital wellbeing progress. Session history, weekly heatmaps, and breathing quality trends show your practice building over time — see the screen time you've taken back.

BREAK THE CYCLE
Whether it's a late-night TikTok spiral, compulsive Instagram checking, or losing hours to YouTube — SOMA is the digital detox tool that meets the habit where it starts. Not with a notification. Not with a timer. With your body.
Other app blockers frustrate you until you disable them. Screen Time limits last until you tap "Ignore." SOMA works differently: the breathing and movement create a real pause that changes how you feel, so the urge passes on its own.

PRIVACY
Everything stays on your device. SOMA uses motion sensors only to validate your session. Nothing is tracked. Nothing is sent anywhere. No account required.

For anyone who's overridden a screen time limit and felt worse for it — SOMA is the phone addiction solution that replaces willpower with a physical practice. Stop doomscrolling, one breath at a time.
