Before a social app opens, Kogni asks one quick question: a word in a new language, a surprising fact, a bit of mental math. Then the app opens for a short visit.

How it works

A tiny pause that breaks the scroll loop

1

Pick the apps

Choose the apps that steal your time. Kogni uses Apple's Screen Time, so it never sees which ones they are.

2

Answer one question

Opening one shows a pause. Answer 1–3 quick questions — a word, a fact, a sum — and the app opens.

3

Visit, then the pause is back

When the short visit is over, the pause returns. No guilt and no hard lock-out: you can always get in.
