Let the apps wait.
Choose the apps, categories and websites to quiet during a moment, or quiet them all. They come back when you do. Blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time, is free and optional, and Virama never reads your browsing history.
New in 1.1: a line and a photo from every moment
Life is happening.
Be here for it.
The people at your table. The book on your shelf. A little time to do nothing at all.
Make room for them with Virama.
Pause the phone. Be here.
Today’s intentionA little more together.

The stories you only hear when you stay at the table.
What matters now?
Not less of everything.
More of your things.
A pause feels different when it has somewhere to go. Choose an intention—or make one your own.
A few of the things worth putting your phone down for.
A small gesture. A different moment.
One small turn.
A little more here.
Choose what matters.
Family, rest, reading. Or an intention of your own.
Put your phone face-down.
Open Virama and turn your phone over to begin, or tap to start. Stay until you’re done, or choose 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Your moment can wait on the Lock Screen as a Live Activity.
Come back when you’re ready.
End your moment when you’re back. Keep one line and a photo if you like.
Choose what matters. Then turn your phone over.
A rhythm.
Not another rule.
Enough support to make a little space. Nothing that turns it into another thing to keep up with.
A line and a photo.
When a moment ends, add one line and a photo. Each moment gets its own page, so you can look back on the dinner, the chapter or the walk, not just the minutes.
See your rhythm.
Notice when you’re most present and how often your phone stayed down. Set a gentle hope for each week. A free weekly pattern shows last week at a glance. No rankings, no guilt.
A ritual that fits.
A familiar time, a chosen intention and an optional reminder. Your first ritual is free. With Premium, keep up to eight and let them begin on their own, with your chosen apps blocked on time.
Your Journal.
Your notes and photos gathered into monthly chapters, with your week in words, a letter each month and On this day. Monthly insights show what helps you stay. All put together on your device.
Back up, your way.
Keep backups in your own iCloud Drive, or on your device. Turn on a daily backup that keeps the newest seven, and restore everything on a new iPhone or iPad.
Worth sharing
A little more life.
Pass it on.
A quiet celebration of the time you chose. Share a moment or your week, with as much—or as little—detail as you like.
You choose what appears. A photo or note is added only if you turn it on.

A practical way to take small breaks from your phone without deleting every app or giving up the useful parts.
Make a little room ↗A few things
you might wonder.
Do I have to block my apps?
No. You can use Virama simply for phone-free moments. App blocking is free and optional, and asks for Screen Time access only when you turn it on. Virama never reads your browsing history.
What happens when I pick up my phone?
Your moment keeps going until you end it. If you started face-down, Virama counts the pickup, so Rhythm can show how often your phone stayed down. Prefer to finish as soon as you lift it? Turn on Finish on pickup in Settings.
Is Virama free?
The core is free: unlimited moments, app blocking, Rhythm, notes and photos, the weekly pattern, backups and one ritual. Virama Premium adds the Journal, monthly insights, up to eight rituals that can begin on their own and block apps on time, and a blocking list for each intention. Premium is available monthly, yearly or as a one-time purchase, with prices shown in the app before you buy.
Do I need an account?
No. Your moments, notes and photos are stored on your device, and you can back them up to your own iCloud Drive. Purchases go through Apple and RevenueCat, which see purchase records, not your moments. Read the privacy details.
Does it measure my total screen time?
No. Virama records the moments you make in the app. It doesn’t claim to measure how much screen time you would otherwise have used or saved.
Can I get it on Android?
Virama is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. There’s no Android release to announce at the moment.
