Kiri
Mindful Screen Time for Android
A gentle hourglass for the apps you lose time in.
Pick an app and a daily time. A small hourglass hangs over it while you scroll, and when the sand runs out a soft mist drifts in. Wipe it away, take one breath, and choose what comes next. Kiri never locks you out; it just asks you to decide.
Why Circuit & Moss Built Kiri.
Most screen-time tools work like a wall: a hard block, a red number, a timer you learn to dismiss without thinking. They tend to be uninstalled within a week, because they treat you as the problem. Yet the moment that matters is small: the second where scrolling turns from a choice into a habit.
Kiri pairs Circuit logic (on-device foreground detection, a real-time sand physics engine, a full-screen mist you wipe with your finger) with Moss philosophy (no lockouts, no shame, no account, no telemetry). The aim is a pause, not a punishment, and a reason to look up.
Four Steps. One Pause.
Open
Open an app you picked. A small hourglass hangs at the top of the screen and the sand starts to fall.
Mist
When your daily time runs out, a soft mist drifts over the app. Nothing is blocked.
Wipe & breathe
Wipe the glass with your finger, take one slow breath, and pick a word for how you feel.
Grow
Every day you stay within your time, a pebble lands in your garden. You never lose one.
Kiri in Action.
Paper, Brass & Sand.
From the first grain of sand to the pebble that lands the next morning.
A Small Hourglass
The sand only falls while you're in the app
Kiri hangs a talisman over the apps you pick. Leave the app and the sand stops; come back later and it picks up where it left off.
A Pause, Not a Punishment.
Mist, Not Walls
Hard blockers get uninstalled. Kiri adds a few seconds of friction you clear yourself, and you can always keep going. It just asks you to choose.
A Breath, Not a Guilt Trip
No streak shaming, no red numbers. The moment after the mist is a breathing circle and a single question, designed to be the calmest screen on your phone.
Private by Default
No account and no ads. Kiri only checks which app is on screen, never what's inside it, and your history never leaves your phone.
Rest Hours
Turn the timer off in the morning and at night, so Kiri keeps out of the way when you don't need it.
Every App You Like
Watch as many apps as you want, each with its own daily time, plus strict mode for the days you want no pause button.
Washi Paper & Aged Brass
Hand-tuned sand physics, a paper-and-brass design system and soft haptics make a tool you are happy to keep on your phone.
Native Android, Light on Battery
