I like the idea, congrats on the launch!

One feature request: instead of giving me a freeform field to enter "why", give me a few of common uses cases as options like: - Picking up the phone for real use (order, cab, call etc) - For social connection - For mindless scrolling

overtime you can plot why the phone was picked

You can add quick answers to the prompts, it's there, no need to type every time

Already you can export all historical data to CSV to analyze it. There is also an interesting thing to observe, it's time spent on the screen.

Is this really a launch? I see reviews from 4 years ago.

The original app was released ~ 4 years ago, but it survived several rounds of overhauls from scratch while keeping the original idea - "showing nudges after phone unlock". It can be considered a launch because it's almost a remade app.
