How it works

Getting past a block costs something real

Not one click, not a timer you can skip

  1. Block what pulls you in

    Sites and apps, across your whole PC. Whole categories in one click

    TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, …

  2. Go do something real

    A walk, the gym, a chapter, practicing piano, FaceTiming an old friend. Your list, your call

    “Practice piano”

  3. Say what you did, earn time

    Write a sentence or two about it. The app checks it, and the site opens for a while

    “Walked the loop around Riverside Park after lunch, about forty minutes, and the leaves are starting to turn”

The block card

When you reach for something blocked

Instead of the site, you get a card with your own words from the last time you earned it. Close it, or earn time right there

WHEN YOU REACH FOR SOMETHING BLOCKED

The rules it keeps

Firm, so you don't have to be at 11pm

Stricter is instant

Tighten anything, any time

Looser takes time

Loosening a rule waits

Checked fairly

Honest effort counts. Vague or made up doesn't

The idea behind it

Start your day with something real

One real thing first thing in the morning knocks over the next one, and the day goes better
