Hi everyone,
I started Potential because I believe it's possible to improve our way out of whatever life situation we may find ourselves in.
Meditation is free. Exercise is free. Journaling is free. Reading is free. Calling our loved ones is free. So many practices with the potential to transform our lives are available to us at all times.
If we can just *do* these simple things that we know are good for us, we can become people that are more capable of handling life.
And yet it's so easy *not* to do them. Because for hours each day, technology companies are feeding us cheap dopamine.
That's why attention matters: it's not just time we lose. It's our ability to navigate our lives, become a better person, and create a better life.
Your ability to improve your life depends upon your relationship to technology. How you use your phone shapes who you will become.
Potential is designed to align your phone with your intentions. It upgrades your home screen, helps you structure your day and stay consistent with your habits. Here’s how it works.
1. Set up your intentions and routines
2. Connect your meditation apps, running playlist, shortcuts, etc.
3. Place our widgets on the first page of your home screen
That’s it. Your Home Screen will now show the right intentions, at the right time. But there's more:
4. Track your habits manually or complete your intentions automatically through integrations
5. Use distracting apps more mindfully by setting up our shortcut
6. Share your activity with your friends to hold each other accountable
7. Discover new practices in the Explore section
8. Celebrate with Visual Dopamine
9. Build your habit system with fallbacks
10. Customize your experience with Attention Settings
I hope you like it!

@imtiyaz922 Potential and Attention Settings really go together. Potential is what we can do as an app to change your experience with your phone. Attention Settings is what should be done on the level of the operating system...
