Today's one thing
First draft of my portfolio page
Why
To prove I can build something of my own.
Approach
We don't block you. We remind you.
App blockers fight the symptom, and most stop working after a couple of weeks. Yonu looks at the cause: it learns why you put things off and talks to you from there.
App blockers
- Lock your apps
- Make you feel guilty
- Same rules for everyone
Yonu
- Puts your lock screen to work for you
- Celebrates small wins
- Speaks to your procrastination type
A day with Yonu
A small loop. Every day.
Once
Getting to know you
Six short questions about what you put off, why, and what doing it would give you.
Morning
One thing
Today's one important task and your own reason, right on your lock screen. No lists. Just one thing.
During the day
Gentle nudges
Few, and well timed. It knows when you tend to drift. A short focus session if you want one.
Evening
Ten seconds
Did you do it? If yes, your streak grows. If not, that's okay. Tomorrow is a new day.
Procrastination types
Not everyone puts things off for the same reason.
Yonu knows four types and speaks differently to each.
01
The Perfectionist
If it won't be perfect, you'd rather not start.
02
The Overwhelmed
Everything lands at once and you can't tell where to begin.
03
The Searcher
It's hard to start when you're not sure why it matters.
04
The Spark-seeker
When a task feels dull, your mind slides somewhere else.
One-minute test
What's your procrastination type?
Three questions. At the end you'll see your type and how Yonu would talk to you.
Question 1 / 3
When you put something off, what goes through your mind?
Promise
An honest app.
A real free version
Today's one thing, the lock screen and the evening check-in are free. No trial traps.
Your data stays on your phone
No account needed. Your answers and tasks stay on your device.
No guilt
We won't scold you for missed days. Tomorrow is a new day.
A coach, not therapy
Yonu is a daily helper. If you're going through a hard time, talking to a professional is always a good step.
Questions
Good to know.
When does it launch?

Will it work on iPhone?
Yes, on iOS and Android. On iPhone through a lock screen widget and an optional daily wallpaper. On Android the wallpaper changes by itself every morning.
Will it block my apps?
No. Yonu never blocks anything. It only reminds.

English, Turkish and Spanish.
Is it paid?
There will be a free version that genuinely works, plus an optional paid version with extras.
