After losing hours every day to mindless scrolling, I created this tool to help myself stay intentional online. Now I'm sharing it with you. The goal isn't to block websites or limit your freedom. It's to add a moment of awareness before you dive in. That simple pause changes everything." — Divy Kairoth 🎯 START BROWSING MINDFULLY TODAY Install Mindlessly and transform your digital habits.
