Alternative
A gentle alternative to app blockers
Blockers rely on prohibition. pourquoi.app relies on awareness. Two opposite philosophies.
The reality
- Blocking creates frustration and the urge to get around it.
- You disable the blocker “just this once”, then for good.
- Prohibition teaches you nothing about your own habits.
How pourquoi.app helps
- No lock: just a simple question before the reflex.
- You stay the decision-maker, which makes change last.
- Calm stats to understand, not to feel guilty.
Why not give it a try?
pourquoi.app is free and has no blocker. Sometimes a second of pause is enough to change your day.
