No. It doesn't lock apps, set timers, or ask for screen-time permissions. A lock works until you find the key, and you always have the key. AlignMate changes one condition around your phone for 7 days, like the charger sleeping in the kitchen, and shows you whether it moved anything. If a blocker already works for you, keep it. This is for when it stopped.

Long enough to include a weekend and a bad night. Short enough that you'll finish. Every experiment is exactly one week, one small change, one thing to log each day. On day 7 the result lands next to the guess you made on day 1.

There aren't any. No streaks to protect, no XP, no levels. Nothing to chase but the one experiment on the bench. Miss a day and the tube stays empty. Nothing breaks.

Yes. AlignMate is in beta on both the App Store and Google Play.

No. A habit asks you to promise forever and punishes the first miss. An experiment asks for 7 days and treats a miss as information. You run one at a time, read the result, and design the next one from what you learned.

The one thing the experiment asks, then press and hold once to log it. No form, no mood rating, no note to write. The lab partner writes the notes from your logs: a first read on day 3 and the result on day 7.

You can ask for a different one, or move on to a new topic. Designs are built from what you said the scroll is costing you and from what your previous weeks showed, so they tend to fit. If one doesn't, say so.

Yes. Beta users get full access for free. Download it, say what's off, and run your first week.
