PIM (Please Inconvenience Me)
PIM is a friction-based app blocker. Instead of locking you out of distracting apps, it makes you complete a quick task (math, typing, or screen tapping) before they'll open.

What is PIM (Please Inconvenience Me)?
Do you ever unlock your phone to check an email, and suddenly realize you've been scrolling for 45 minutes? You didn't make a conscious decision to open the app. Your thumbs just did it — complete autopilot.
Welcome to PIM — Please Inconvenience Me.
PIM is not a strict app-blocker or a screen time monitor. Instead, it fights phone addiction and improves your digital wellbeing by adding some friction to your worst screen habits.
It's not that you lack willpower. Your phone is just too easy to use. Social media apps are designed for zero effort. Just one tap, and the addictive content hits your brain like a drug.
PIM gives your willpower a fighting chance. Try PIM free for 7 days with unlimited apps and full features. If it works for you, a one-time purchase keeps it forever.
When you try to open a restricted app, PIM stops you. To actually use the app, you have to complete a short cognitive speedbump — like a typing task, a math problem, or a screen-tapping exercise.
Yes, it's inconvenient. But the inconvenience is the point — not everything should be convenient. It gives your brain the time it needs to reset and snap out of autopilot.
