The idea

It's not about screen time.
It's care.

Every other app fights you. Blocks, limits, timers, a parent watching a dashboard. Kids find a way around it. Adults get tired of being the police.

Nubi flips the logic. You're not restricted. You get attached. The instinct to look after something small does the work no timer ever could. It's the same trick that got millions of kids carrying a Tamagotchi to school in 1996.

Not this
Blocking. Limits. Surveillance. Guilt.
This
A creature you take care of by locking your phone.
A small companion app, kept as simple as the hardware. No behaviour to spy on.
One signal. That's all.

How Nubi stays alive

Nubi reads exactly one thing about your phone: is the screen locked or not? No camera, no mic, no location, no usage reports. Just on, or off.

+ eating

Lock to feed

Every minute your screen stays locked counts as a meal. The longer and more consistent the stretch, the better-fed Nubi grows.

02 22:00–07:00

Rest to sleep

Lock it at night and Nubi sleeps. Earlier and longer means Nubi wakes well-rested. A steady rhythm beats one heroic night.

Care adds up, quietly

Feeding and sleep combine into a care rating that decides which Nubi you get. It stays hidden on purpose, so it never turns into another number to chase.

All of it runs on the little screen itself. No personal data leaves your phone.

How you care decides
who Nubi becomes

Everyone starts the same: a green egg, a green blob, a green teen. Consistent care carries it into a rarer tier by adulthood. Neglect a grown Nubi for too long and it can die, and you start over. Most people hatch more than once, chasing a rarer one each time.
