Morning Reset
Two minutes before the scroll — a notification-led ritual that names your mode.
A notification-led ritual that interrupts reactive phone use right after you wake — five one-tap questions, a mode, one concrete first win.

The problem
You open your phone at 7am and surface forty minutes later with no idea what you saw. Meditation apps want ten minutes you don't have. Habit trackers want a routine you can't maintain. The actual problem is the order of operations.
Why now
The only thing that wins against the feed is interrupting before the feed — with something small enough to actually do. Two minutes, five taps, one mode named. That's the whole product.
Why I'm building this
I built Morning Reset because I lost too many mornings to my phone. Apps that try to replace the scroll (meditation, journaling) all lose to the scroll. The only thing that wins is the door between waking and the scroll — five questions, one mode, one first win. Tiny on purpose.
— Can Ayan, founder
How it works
Set your morning ping
Weekday and weekend times — you keep your normal alarm.
Tap the notification
Five yes/no questions, auto-advancing. 60s idle resets.
Pick your first win
Water, movement, first task, or phone down. Then go.
Inside the app
Wake
A notification-led ritual, not an alarm.
Quiz
Five tappable questions, auto-advancing.
Results
Mode named. One first win picked.
What it does
Notification entry
A morning ping opens the 5-question check-in. No need to remember to open the app.
Mode diagnosis
Protect, Steady, or Push — the mode names what kind of morning this is, in the voice of a coach who knows your week.
One first win
The ritual closes by naming the single concrete action that starts your day: water, 60-second movement, first task, or phone down.
Weekly patterns
When strong patterns repeat, a deeper read surfaces — plus a guided 5-minute movement reset on Pro.

decision
Mode language simplified
Old: 'Defensive / Even / Aggressive'. New: 'Protect / Steady / Push'. Felt less judgmental in conversation; copy still being refined.

Audience & signal
Adults 25–45 with a self-described phone problem; wellness-curious but bounced from Headspace / Calm; productivity-skeptical.
