The screen-time app that sends you outside

Be. Here. Now.

Less feed. More forest.

AWARE is a calm app blocker for iPhone. Set boundaries around the apps that pull you in, focus with intention, and come back to the life in front of you.

AWARE’s Today screen: the Hearthlight emblem, “Be. Here. Now.”, and your ritual for today.

YOUR ATTENTION. YOUR CHOICE.

How it works

Three small ways back to yourself.

  1. I

    Set a boundary.

    Choose the apps, categories, and websites that can wait, or everything Apple allows. Keep them quiet always, during a session, or overnight, at a Gentle, Committed, or Locked strength.

  2. II

    Give your focus a place.

    Choose 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes or your own length, set an intention, and settle in with a frequency tone. 15-minute sessions are free.

  3. III

    Take a breath first.

    When the scroll pulls, take the 3-minute breathing reset and come back to what you meant to do.

One boundary + a nightly Sleep Boundary, freeNo account

Boundaries use Apple’s Screen Time permission. Some protected system apps and functions may remain available. AWARE is a digital-wellness tool, not medical care.

Boundaries: pick what can wait, from single apps to whole categories or websites.

Deep Focus: choose 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes, an intention, and app blocking.

The 3-minute reset: Before you enter. Three breaths. Then quiet.

Inside AWARE

Boundaries are the start. Here’s what you get back.

Less feed. More forest.

Your minutes outside walk a famous trail.

Tap Head outside as you step out, and AWARE counts the real minutes until you’re back. Every 15 minutes moves you one mile along a real Pacific Northwest trail.

  • Expeditions on the Ozette Loop, the Hoh River Trail, the Enchantments, and the Wonderland Trail.
  • Sky moments show today’s Golden Hour, sunrise, sunset, and moon, worked out from your time zone. No location needed.

The Ozette Loop is free. Every expedition comes with Premium.

A forest that never wilts

Every moment back plants something.

Focus sessions, breathing resets, and time outside grow your Grove, a quiet Pacific Northwest forest lit by the real sun and moon. It never wilts, and it rests in winter.

  • Golden Emblems: each moment draws one golden line of sacred geometry, from the Vesica Piscis to the Flower of Life.
  • Your Trail: your week in real minutes and sessions. No scores, no streaks.

Free: your Grove’s first clearing, your first emblems, and this week of your Trail. Premium: the whole Grove, every emblem, and every week.

The Grove: a Pacific Northwest forest grown from real moments.

A daily ritual

Start the day on purpose. End it on time.

First Light takes about two minutes: raise the sun, take one breath, and choose one thing for today. Last Light sets the sun so the phone can go down before you do.

  • Daily Wisdom: one line for today. Read it, breathe once, leave.
  • Tone of the Day: a 15-second taste of one solfeggio tone, the same for everyone.

Every tone, for as long as your session runs, comes with Premium.

First Light: hold to raise the sun.

Sounds: nine solfeggio tones, each with a forest photo.

Live by the seasons

Follow the seasons, not the feed.

The Wheel of the Year follows real solstices, meteor showers, full moons, and the fall salmon run, each with small things to do outside.

  • Recaps tell your season as a short story, ending on a card you can share.
  • Welcome Back: after time away, a warm return with everything you earned still there.

The Wheel of the Year is free.

Can AWARE block apps on my iPhone?

Yes. With Apple’s Screen Time permission, AWARE applies boundaries to the apps, categories, and websites you choose. Some protected apps and system functions may remain available. AWARE does not replace Apple’s Screen Time controls.

What does Premium add, and what does it cost?

Free includes one boundary plus a nightly Sleep Boundary, 15-minute focus sessions and a free Tone of the Day. Premium adds more and longer boundaries, longer focus sessions, every solfeggio Sound and the whole Grove. It’s $4.99 a month, $13.49 for 3 months, or $47.99 a year (about $4 a month), each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, on the U.S. App Store, and it renews automatically until you cancel in your Apple ID settings. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel it. There’s no lifetime plan.

What information does AWARE collect?

Your boundaries, practice history, intentions, and settings stay on your iPhone. AWARE has no account, ads, analytics, or tracking. Apple and RevenueCat handle purchases using an anonymous ID, and Expo delivers app updates. Read the privacy policy.
