why? asks you why before you open apps like Instagram or TikTok. We often open these apps without thinking and start scrolling. why? adds a small pause before that. You can choose why you’re opening the app or close it if you don’t have a reason.
I made why? after noticing how often I'd pick up my phone and my fingers already knew where to go. Instagram, TikTok, then scrolling without even thinking about it.
The idea is simple: ask "why?" before you start scrolling. If you have a reason, keep going. If not, close it.
Curious to see if this small pause actually helps.
