Description by YUTAKA INADA Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
WhyMin is a focus companion that asks "why are you opening this?" and "for how many minutes?" before the apps you open on autopilot.
Block the apps you choose — video, social, browsers — with Screen Time. When you try to open one, WhyMin steps in and lets you use it temporarily once you've decided your reason and time.
Pick a reason like "Look something up", "Reply or message", "Take a short break", or "Just because", then set a time from 3 to 60 minutes. When time runs out, the guarded apps are blocked again automatically. Each reason button shows how many times you've opened apps today, and the check-in screen shows today's total usage time for your guarded apps — so you notice the "just because" moments.
WhyMin isn't about banning your phone. Use it when you need it; only cut the time you spend on autopilot.
Main features (free):
- A check-in that asks your reason before you open
- Session lengths of 3 / 5 / 10 / 20 / 30 / 60 minutes
- Block and temporarily unlock one guarded app with Screen Time
- Daily counts per reason and today's total usage time
- A setup guide for the Shortcuts automation
- Countdown display during a session
- Dynamic Island / Live Activity support
- A simple design that keeps everything on your device
WhyMin Premium (optional in-app purchase):
- Guard two or more apps
- Rewrite the check-in reasons in your own words
- Set six "How many minutes?" options per reason
- Daily limits on check-ins and total usage time
- Home Screen widget
Recommended if you:
- Open social or video apps without thinking
- Want to protect your focus time
- Prefer balance over quitting your phone entirely
- Want a gentle limit on just the apps you choose
