Why Sandflow exists
Phone habits usually do not change because someone sees one more dashboard. They change when the habit becomes visible at the right moment. Sandflow is designed around that moment: the first few minutes after opening an app, before a quick check becomes a long session.
Instead of trying to shame you or block every app, Sandflow gives you a clear signal. You choose which apps matter, connect them with Apple Shortcuts, and then use the timer as a practical cue for more conscious phone use.
Doomscrolling is often automatic
You open an app for a minute and suddenly twenty minutes are gone. Sandflow puts a timer in view so the session becomes a conscious choice again.
Small cues change behavior
The goal is not guilt. The goal is a visible interruption: a simple reminder that your attention is still yours.
Choose the apps that pull you in
Set up Sandflow for the apps that create your biggest time leaks, then use daily and all-time reports to spot patterns.
