Change won't come until you stop escaping.
The scrolling was never the real problem. It's the escape from what you're feeling. EnsoMori is a mirror for that moment: instead of fleeing the feeling, you learn to stay with it. And once you can, the urge loses its grip. It comes, it passes, and it stops deciding for you.
The approach
What you run from runs you.
We don't reach for the phone because of the phone. We reach for it to escape a feeling.
Block the exit, and the mind just finds another. What you resist only grows stronger.
So EnsoMori doesn't block. When you drift, it gently turns you back toward the feeling, instead of letting you run.
See the drift
After you've been lost in a chosen app a while, a gentle notification quietly reflects it back to you.
Turn toward it
Instead of fleeing the feeling, you pause and let yourself actually feel it.
Watch it pass
Stayed with, the urge rises and fades, and loosens its hold on you.
What you get
A mirror for your mind.
Awareness
A gentle notification, not a wall
Choose the apps that tend to pull you in. When you start hopping between them or sinking into a long scroll, EnsoMori leaves a quiet notification: a mirror held up to your own attention.
Daily Look Back
One calm moment each day
At a time you choose, a gentle notification invites you to look back, calmly and without judgment, at where your attention went and what it gave you.

The Rhythm
See the shape of your attention
A calm, visual reflection of your attention over time. Not a streak to maintain. Not a scoreboard. Just an honest mirror.
Moments of stillness
A pause, whenever you need one
Two one-tap shortcuts, Silent Witness and Observe Restlessness, to drop into a moment of stillness the instant the mind starts to race.
The name
Ensō · Mori
Mori is Latin for "to die," the word at the heart of memento mori. Not a fear of death, but the question hidden in it: who is it that dies? Look closely, and you may find you were never the body or the mind you took yourself to be. Ensō is what remains: already whole.
Begin seeing clearly.
Real change isn't forced. It's understood. Start with a single moment of awareness today.
