Aura: Block App & Make Habit

Aura helps you spend less time on distracting apps and more time on what matters.

Instead of relying on guilt or hard lockouts alone, Aura uses a simple system:

complete habits, earn sunlight, and use that time intentionally when you choose to unlock blocked apps.

With Aura, you can block distracting apps, set a daily screen-time budget, and create a healthier relationship with your phone through small repeatable actions.

Key features:

- App blocker for distracting apps

Choose apps you want to limit and let Aura step in when your boundaries are active.

- Habit-based unlock system

Complete habits like self-checks, timed resets, or movement-based tasks to earn sunlight and unlock apps mindfully.

- Daily budget and unlock controls

Set a daily budget, control temporary unlock duration, and reduce impulsive app use.

- Insights and usage patterns

Review screen time, most-used apps, block suggestions, and usage trends with day and week views.

- Secure blocklist protection

Protect unblock actions and blocklist edits with a PIN or pattern. Optional biometric recovery is available on supported devices.

- Local-first privacy

Your core data is stored on your device using local app storage. No account is required to use the app.

- Gentle setup and reminders

Onboarding helps you configure Usage Access, Accessibility, overlay permission, notifications, and your starting budget.

How Aura works:

1. Add distracting apps to your blocklist.

2. Set your daily budget and protection preferences.

3. Complete habits to earn sunlight.

4. Spend that time intentionally when you decide to unlock an app.

Aura is designed for people who want a practical digital wellbeing tool for habit building, screen time control, focus support, and mindful app blocking.

No medical claims:
