01 — What it does

Fasting, for your attention

NURU applies an old idea to a new problem. You choose how long to fast from the apps that pull at you, and NURU holds the line — quietly, with encouragement rather than shame. Do it alone, or join a Circle and fast alongside other people working on the same thing.

  1. 01

    Choose your fast

    7, 30, 60, or 90 days — or set your own length. NURU tracks the day you are on, the days remaining, and the date you finish.

  2. 02

    Block what pulls at you

    Social media, entertainment and streaming, news and doomscrolling — pick the categories, then the apps on your device that match.

  3. 03

    Fasting Circles

    Create a circle or join one by code, or browse public tribes. Fasting together is the difference between a rule and a habit.

  4. 04

    A shared break window

    Every circle has one daily break — 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour — shown to each member in their own timezone, so a group across four cities still breaks together.

  5. 05

    Mindful unlock

    Reach for a blocked app and you get a short timer and a question worth sitting with, instead of an instant override.

  6. 06

    Insights and streaks

    Current streak, longest streak, total days, days you stayed strong, and the breaks you took — laid out week by week.

  7. 07

    Encouragement, not shame

    Block screens remind you why you started — the streak you are holding, the days left, and the hours you have protected today.

  8. 08

    Custom schedules

    Block for a whole fasting day, or set specific hours — perfect for work, prayer, study, or the first hour after waking.
