In one paragraph
Kiri is a screen time app that never locks you out. You give an app a daily time. While you use it, a small hourglass counts down. When the time is up, mist covers the screen; you wipe it away, take one breath, and decide whether to stop or keep going. It is free for one app, Kiri Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription, and it has no account, no ads and no analytics. Kiri (霧) is the Japanese word for mist.

Mist, not lockouts: a gentle hourglass for the apps you lose time in.
