Somewhere between one notification and the fortieth minute, the current took you under. Nivara watches for the exact moment scrolling turns into freefall — and pulls you back, before you even notice you're gone.
Short-form feeds are built by people paid to keep you exactly where you are. There's no bottom to hit, no natural stopping point — just the next card, already loading before you've finished the last one.
Most blockers respond by locking the whole app. That works for about a day, until you turn it off out of genuine need — and the feed is right there waiting.
A lightweight engine runs entirely on your device, watching not which app is open, but what kind of moment you're in. A message thread passes through untouched. The instant you drop into an infinite short-form feed, it intercepts — and only that.
You keep the parts of the app you actually came for. Only the trap gets closed.
A rank system — Novice through Master — turns avoiding the feed into something worth checking on.
Set a duration and every selected app is strictly blocked until it ends — no casual override when discipline is the whole point.
System noise filtered out automatically — only the apps you actually touched.
No cloud servers. No telemetry. No crash logs sent home for analysis. Your ranks, streaks and block lists live in encrypted local storage — delete the app and every trace of them goes with it.
Nivara is almost ready to surface on the Play Store. Ring the buoy and we'll let you know the moment it does — nothing else, no other noise.
