Kovenant Today screen: your habits for the day, your aura and Aurby

Inside the app

Kovenant, in ten screens.

The same ones you’ll see on the App Store: what it does, how it stops you and how it rewards you.

The problem

You know what you want to do: read, train, sleep earlier.

But you pick up your phone "for a minute" and another hour is gone.

You don't lack willpower. You're up against apps built so you never put them down.

What Kovenant does

It doesn't lecture you or make you feel guilty.

It puts a pause right at the moment of the urge, reminds you of your why in your own words and turns the intention into a small habit you actually keep.

Why Kovenant

Same night. Two endings.

Habit apps log what you do. Kovenant acts at the moment you are about to slip.

Another habit app

  1. 11:47 pmYou open Instagram or TikTok without thinking.
  2. 11:47 pmThe feed opens. One video, another, another…
  3. 12:59 amOne hour and twelve minutes later.
  4. TomorrowYour streak drops to 0.

Kovenant

  1. 11:47 pmYou open Instagram or TikTok without thinking.
  2. 11:47 pmKovenant steps in: breathe and read your why.
  3. 11:50 pmYou choose not to go in. You read 10 pages.
  4. TomorrowYou earn aura and your streak hits 24.

Kovenant doesn't count your slips. It prevents them.

And on top of that, what only Kovenant does

Four apps in one.

Habits, blocking, podcasts and a mentor. And the only one that steps in when your phone tempts you.

It stops you before you slip

When you open the app that hooks you, a pause to decide.

In other apps: you find out at night that you slipped.

One bad day won't reset you

The streak can be repaired and a season never sends you back to day one.

In other apps: your streak drops to zero.

A mentor who knows you

Aurby learns from your habits and reflections, and suggests your next step.

In other apps: generic reminders.

You compete with people at your pace

Weekly leagues of 30 people and pacts with friends who see if you deliver.

In other apps: just you and a list.

No ads, no data selling

Free with up to five habits at a time. What you write never trains an AI.

In other apps: ads, data selling or a paywall after a long quiz.

How it works

This is Kovenant on the inside.

Six screens from the real app. Scroll and the iPhone changes with you. Drag it to turn it around.

  1. Today

    Your day at a glance

    Today's habits, your aura and the daily chest. Each habit is written as "after X, I will Y", so it hooks onto something you already do. Miss a day and the streak can be repaired: you don't go back to zero.

  2. Seasons

    Seasonal challenges

    Winter Arc, Temperantia, Stoa, Ianus. Each season has dates, three or four daily rules and a reward for your Aurby: a flame or a laurel. One bad day never sends you back to day one.

  3. Leagues

    Eight leagues, from the Agora to Olympus

    Every week you compete in a group of 30 people. Those who keep the most move up a league and earn drachmas. What counts is this week, not how long you've been here.

  4. Vault

    Listen, note, reflect

    Podcasts and long videos from the channels you choose, with their whole archive and a search. Note what moves you at the exact minute and, when you finish, write your reflection. Aurby learns from it.

  5. Focus

    One thing at a time

    Block your apps to study, train or sleep: now, at a set time or once you pass your daily limit. And see how much time it gives back.

  6. Pacts

    Your word, in front of a friend

    Challenge someone to a habit for a few days. Each of you ticks off your part, you cheer each other on in the pact chat and you both see how it goes.

Pacts

A pact doesn't care about distance.

Kovenant comes from covenant: a pact. Pick a habit, invite a friend with a link, whether they live down the street or on the other side of the world, and commit for a few days. Each of you ticks off your part and you both see how it goes.

  • One on one or as a team
  • Kudos when the other one delivers
  • A reward at the end

Seasons and leagues

Every challenge starts with its story.

This is how Kovenant greets you when a season starts or you move up a league. Turn the sound up and press play.

App blocking

Cover what distracts you. And make skipping it cost.

You pick the apps that hook you and Kovenant covers them with its shield: now, at a set time or once you pass your daily limit. If you really want in, you breathe first.

  • Challenges to skip itMaths, a race against the clock, memory or a sentence. Every try on the same day costs more.
  • Schedules and limitsEvery night from 23:00 to 07:00, or 20 minutes of social a day. They run on their own, with the app closed.
  • Your timeHow much you use your phone, your week against the last and what you win back. iOS works it out: Kovenant never sees it.
  • In the Dynamic IslandThe block’s countdown, always in sight.

Aurby

A mentor in your pocket.

Aurby is the flame that lives in Kovenant. You talk to it like a mentor: it listens, it teaches you and it turns what you talk about into habits you can keep.

  • It listens

    Tell it anything, anytime. Short, straight answers, no lectures.

  • It teaches

    30 days of stoicism with Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus: one lesson a day and one practice for today.

  • It organises

    It creates habits, routines and pacts for you. Nothing is saved without your yes.

  • It holds you back

    With 3AM Mode, before you text your ex, buy on impulse or go back to the scroll.

A day with Aurby

  1. 07:30

    In the morning

    "One important thing today. What is it?" It helps you pick the day's priority.

  2. 14:00

    At midday

    The lesson of the day, like "What is up to you" by Epictetus. Two minutes and one practice.

  3. 19:00

    In the evening

    If today is hard, it suggests the small version of the habit so you don't drop it.

  4. 03:00

    In the small hours

    3AM Mode stops you at the urge and stays with you until it passes.

Questions

What you’re wondering.

What is Kovenant?

Kovenant is an iPhone and Android app that blocks the apps that steal your time, like Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, and helps you keep habits. It combines app blocking with challenges to skip it, a breathing pause before you open an app, daily habits with Aurby (a stoic AI mentor) and pacts and leagues with friends.

How do I block Instagram or TikTok on iPhone?

In Kovenant you pick the apps (it uses iOS Screen Time permission) and create a block: now, on a schedule (say 23:00 to 07:00) or with a daily limit, like 20 minutes of social media. When you try to open a covered app, the Kovenant shield appears. It works even with the app closed.

How is it different from Apple Screen Time?

A Screen Time limit goes away with one tap. In Kovenant skipping a block costs something: a maths, memory or sentence challenge, a breathing pause or, in Pact mode, no way out except one emergency a week. It also ties blocking to your habits, your streak and your friends, and shows how much time you win back.

Is it an alternative to Opal or one sec?

Yes. Like Opal, it blocks apps with schedules and limits, and like one sec, it makes you breathe for a few seconds before opening Instagram or TikTok. Kovenant adds daily habits, a 90-day plan, an AI mentor, and pacts and leagues with friends.

Is Kovenant free?

Yes, you can use it for free. Kovenant Pro raises the limits (more habits, routines, blocks and schedules, Pact mode and the full 90-day plan), and you can try it free for 14 days.

Does Kovenant see which apps I use or for how long?

No. The apps you pick and your screen time are handled by iOS through Screen Time. Kovenant only gets encrypted tokens: it never knows which apps they are or how much you use them, and none of it leaves your phone.

Can I skip a block?

It depends on how you set it up. On Soft you end it whenever you like. On Firm it costs you a challenge (maths, memory, a race against the clock or a sentence). On Pact there is no way out, except one emergency a week.

What if I miss a day?

Nothing terrible. Your streak can be repaired and, in seasons, one bad day doesn’t send you back to day one. Kovenant rewards coming back, not being perfect.

Does it work on Android?

It’s built for iPhone and Android. The beta starts on iPhone and the Android version comes later: sign up below and we’ll let you know.

When does it launch?
