A Cirola app · Now on the App Store
Cirola Chill
Time is how you find out who you are — and the feeds have been taking it. Chill quietly blocks the apps designed to steal your time, and when you reach for them anyway, it reminds you what that time is for.
Social feeds are engineered by teams of hundreds to keep you scrolling. You're not weak for losing to them.
But finding out who you are happens out there — with your family, your hands, your work, your people. It runs on the one resource no one can give back to you. Chill exists to return it.
The moment that matters
When you reach for a blocked app,
Chill answers with what you love
No shame, no lectures, and never an order. A quiet reminder of the life you said you wanted — tuned to what matters to you, the season, even the hour.
If you have kids
“What's worth it is small, loud, and waiting for you.”
— your Chill screen
On a winter evening
“That ski trip you keep not planning — winter won't wait forever.”
— your Chill screen
Late at night
“Whatever you're looking for at this hour, it isn't in here.”
— your Chill screen
You can also write your own — the words only you would say to yourself, shown exactly when you need them. Those never leave your phone.
What Cirola Chill does
Your life, with you back in it
Block the apps that cost you hours
Pick the apps and websites that pull you in — social, news, endless video. Start a session and they're blocked until it ends. No negotiation, no five-more-minutes loophole.
From 15 minutes to forever
A short break, a whole day, or the big one: Forever — no timer at all, blocked until you deliberately choose otherwise. For when you're done negotiating with the feed.
Words that actually reach you
Tell Chill what matters — your kids, your health, your craft — and the block screen speaks to that. Add your own words too. It only knows what you choose to share.
Hard to escape on purpose
It's trivial to disable a weak blocker in the moment you most want to. Ending a Chill session early takes a deliberate, reflective step — because that moment is exactly when you need it.
Calm by default
Chill is quiet. No streaks, no gamified XP, no daily push notifications begging for your attention. It does exactly what you ask, then gets out of the way.
Private by default
Your block lists, your sessions, and your own words stay on your device. We don't need to see what you're blocking to help you block it.
Where we are
Cirola Chill is live on the App Store — Android will follow. Honest weekly reports are next on the roadmap. If this is the kind of tool you want to exist, tell us — early voices genuinely shape what we build next.
