Building technology that understands us

About

I build products, websites and automation systems. My background spans 14+ years in brand and growth, alongside hands-on work building custom CRMs, business platforms and tools around real workflows. I’m the founder of Renura, a free, offline Android app that helps people notice autopilot scrolling, impulse buying & excessive food ordering and choose when to pause. I’m interested in human behavior, privacy and building software that gives people more control over their day.

I got tired of digital wellbeing apps treating adults like children.

Hey everyone. I m Siddharth, and I m launching Renura on Tuesday.

I spent 14 years in marketing. I know exactly how much money and psychology goes into removing every ounce of friction between a trigger and a purchase (or another hour of scrolling). Right now, it is a rigged game: a million-dollar production budget versus your raw willpower.

So I built a local behavior engine that steps in. It senses an impulse in real time and offers a choice-preserving pause right at the point of action. No guilt-tripping scorecards, no strict app blocks, and absolutely zero internet permissions. If you want to doomscroll for an hour to decompress, you should be able to. The choice just needs to be yours.

We go live next week, but I want to know exactly what you are up against right now. What is the specific autopilot loop you actually struggle to break out of at the end of the day? Is it infinite feeds, impulse buying, or something else?

Renura - A real-time pause for doomscrolling and impulse buying

Renura notices when you slip into autopilot and steps in exactly when you need a second to think. It never reads your screen, has zero internet access, and doesn't hard-block your apps, the choice to continue is always yours. Free on Android with no accounts, no ads, and 100% local privacy.
