Stop the doomscrolling reflex,
One Gita shloka verse before the apps. Every time. Free.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You didn't mean to open Instagram. You just did.

You know the feeling. A moment of boredom, a reflex, and suddenly 20 minutes are gone. You're not lazy or weak — you're up against an app designed by the best engineers in the world to keep you scrolling.

The reflex

You open the app before you've even decided to. It happens before thought.

The lost time

15 minutes becomes 45 (sometimes 2 hrs). You close the app feeling worse than before you opened it.

The guilt

You know there's more meaningful ways to spend that moment. You just never had a bridge.

Gita Guide is that bridge, intercepting that moment — not to block you, but to give you one breath of wisdom & intention before you scroll. Based on the Bhagavad Gita. Free to start.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Thirty seconds. One shloka verse.

No hard blocks. No guilt trips. Just a moment of intention before you scroll.

Open a blocked app

Choose the apps that pull you in — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook. The moment you open one, Gita Guide appears. Quietly, without blocking anything.

Once every 30 minutes. Fully configurable.

Choose how you feel

9 emotions, each mapped to specific Gita shloka verses. Not a generic affirmation — a shloka verse written for that exact emotional state, by a teacher who understood the human mind 5,000 years ago.

A different shloka verse every time you pick an emotion.

Read your shloka verse. Then proceed.

The shloka verse appears in Devanagari and English. Read it. Let it land. Tap 'I've read the shloka verse' whenever you are — there's no timer, no pressure. You can even go deeper into the shloka verse's meaning.

No hard blocks. You always proceed when you're ready.

WHAT YOU GET

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built to intercept the reflex, not punish you for it. Rooted in the Bhagavad Gita.

Choose from 9 emotions — anxious, angry, lost, restless, hopeful, and more. Gita Guide matches each to specific verses written for that exact state. Not a random quote.

A different shloka verse every time - even when you pick the same emotion

Every time you pause before scrolling, your streak grows. Milestones at 7, 30, and 100 days. See your emotional patterns over the past 7 days.

Streak never punishes — missed days just say 'welcome back'

Unlock commentary, stories, and psychological insight. Then generate a beautiful shloka verse card — Devanagari, English — and share it to WhatsApp.

We only know one thing: an app was intercepted.

Gita Guide uses Android's Accessibility Service for a single purpose: to know when you open a blocked app. That's it. We never see what you do inside those apps, never read your messages, never access your photos, never track your location.

We collect only anonymous emotion selections and streak data — no names, no device IDs, no app identifiers. Your blocked app list never leaves your phone.

The Bhagavad Gita is a 700-shloka verse Sanskrit scripture, part of the Indian epic Mahabharata, written roughly 5,000 years ago. It's a conversation between the warrior Arjuna and Krishna on the nature of duty, emotion, and the mind. Its teachings on handling anxiety, anger, restlessness, and purpose are remarkably precise — and remarkably modern.

No account is required to use Gita Guide. Download the app, choose your apps, and you're set. Your streak and data are stored locally on your device.

The app is mostly in English. Verses are displayed in both Devanagari script (Sanskrit) and English translation, so you get the original text alongside its meaning. More languages coming soon.

Most screen time apps block or restrict access to apps — they rely on willpower and hard limits. Gita Guide doesn't block anything. Instead, it intercepts the moment before you scroll and offers a Bhagavad Gita shloka verse matched to your current emotional state. It works with your psychology rather than against it — replacing a mindless reflex with a moment of intention, not guilt.

Stop the doomscrolling reflex,
One Gita shloka verse before the apps. Every time. Free.
