Manaya: Stop Doomscrolling with friction
Wait before distracting apps open on iPhone with mascot.
Existing app-blockers/ios-rules are either too generous or too heavy with accounts, VPNs, subscriptions, and setup friction. Manaya sits in the middle. Put apps in groups, pick Easy, Medium, Hard, or Custom per group. You might want to completely block Insta, Tiktok, but want to use Messenger for 5 minutes per session for 3 times a day. Try Manaya if you want group-based features with custom plans, detailed stats, cute mascot, and on-device blocker.
Hey Product Hunt, we're Manam Labs, building Manaya.
This started because "Ignore Limit" on iPhone was too easy to bypass, and apps like Opal, One Sec, and Freedom required a VPN or were laggy for basic features. We wanted to build a blocker that slows the impulse.
This is how one of our team members uses the app (in their words):
Discord and Messenger are on Easy plan. I am allowed to use them for only 10 minutes per session.
TikTok is fully blocked. If I ever feel like using it, I need to go through questions and wait 40 seconds each time. That usually stops me from using TikTok.
Facebook, Instagram, X, and Threads are on Medium plan. This allows me to use them for 5 minutes, up to 6 times a day.
I love listening to YouTube while sleeping, so I have put it on Custom plan with 20 minutes of access, 2 times a day.
If you try it, create groups, pick apps, set Easy, and try opening the app. BTW, on stricter plans, you might need to wait before you change the plan, so your impulse to open an app does not get easy access.
