AikaniYour time matters. Protect it together.
Aikani blocks the apps you choose, for the time you choose. If you need one early, you ask someone you trust.
Aikani gives you the chance to take some time back.
Instead of scrolling, you could
- Start that book.
- Play with your pet.
- Take a walk.
- Meditate, maybe.
- Have a long talk with that person.
Aikani and your Kani are here to support you. The action is yours to take.
It shouldn't take willpower.
Most blockers come with an off switch, and you know exactly where it is. So every session turns into a small argument with yourself.
Aikani hands that switch to someone you trust. Once you start, there's nothing left to decide. The apps stay closed and the time stays yours. If something comes up, you ask.
How it works
The phone is a demo. Its buttons work.
Alex's phone
Alex asks for YouTube
Approve early access to YouTube.
Until your session ends at 19:45.
A Kani is one person you trust.
A friend, a partner, a sibling. Someone who will answer when you ask, and who doesn't need to know the rest.
Being a Kani is free. They install Aikani, sign in and accept your invitation.
What Maya sees
- Your name
- The app you're asking for
- A note if you use an emergency unlock
What stays with you
- Whether you're in a session, and how long is left
- Your other apps
- Your history and Time Back
No notifications. No streaks. No scores. No chat.
And no dashboard for anyone to check. Aikani does one thing, so you can go and do something else.
The rest of it
- Schedules
- Set your mornings or evenings once. Sessions start on their own, with no reminder and nothing to confirm.
- Emergency unlocks
- Three a month, on every plan. Each one opens a single app until the session ends. They work offline and they are never for sale.
- Time Back
- A running total of the time you protected. It's a record for you, not a score.
- Offline
- A session keeps going without a connection and ends when it should.
What you can count on
Your apps stay on your phone
Aikani uses your phone's own blocking controls. It keeps no record of what you do in your apps, or how long you spend there.
Paid for by Premium, nothing else
No ads and no data for sale. Aikani earns money only when someone chooses Premium.
Honest when something is off
If protection is interrupted, Aikani says so plainly. An app is shown as blocked only when your phone confirms it.
You can always leave
Delete your account in the app whenever you like. Aikani is something you choose, every time.

Questions
Can I end a session early?
No. Once a session starts, its length and its apps are fixed. If you need an app, ask your Kani or use an emergency unlock.
What if my Kani doesn't answer?
You have three emergency unlocks a month. Each opens one app until the session ends, after a short moment to think it over.
Does my Kani have to pay or set anything up?
No. Being a Kani is free. They install Aikani, sign in and accept your invitation. Nothing is blocked on their phone.
Will Aikani send me notifications?
No. Aikani doesn't send push notifications to you or to your Kani. You share a request yourself, in whatever app the two of you already use.
Is this parental control?
No. Aikani is for adults who choose to block their own apps. It can't be used to watch what someone else does on their phone.
Which phones does it work on?
iPhone and Android. You and your Kani don't need the same kind of phone.
What does the name mean?
Aikani is Finnish for "my time". Kani is Finnish for rabbit, which is why your Kani is one.
Your time back.
Aikani is coming to iPhone and Android. Free for one app.
