[How It Works]

How It Works

01

Select your distractions

Choose exactly which apps are wasting your time. Whether it's social media, news, or games, you decide what to block.

02

Scan to lock

Use any physical barcode around you like a book, a cereal box, or a water bottle. Scan it, and your selected apps are instantly locked.

03

Unlock with purpose

To unlock your apps, you must scan the same physical barcode again. This interruption breaks automatic habits and turns screen time into a conscious choice.
