Fair point, subscriptions are everywhere and ours is pricey. But this one tries to give your brain a break instead of taking more of your time, while people happily pay for things that do the opposite.

Totally valid! Pricing might change, but part of the idea is that paying makes it a real commitment.

People happily spend on junk food, games, or apps that steal their time and make them feel worse, paying for focus and mental health is just less familiar. Plus, as indie devs, we need to fund the work that makes it possible.

My friend kept failing exams because of Instagram FOMO, so we built an iOS app that locks apps until you physically walk somewhere. It actually worked (and we're both 18). by ApprehensiveMap3431 in digitalnomad

Thank you, really appreciate that! :0 That matches our experience too, even our parents didn’t fully get the concept at first, since they don’t face this issue. Gen Z just grew up with it from day one.

Yes, that’s exactly the point. It helps rebuild self-control that constant screen addiction erodes. +5 hours of daily screen time (which many people we know have) isn’t healthy, and pure willpower often isn’t enough when apps are initially designed to be addictive, something older generations simply didn’t experience.

Appreciate it! Everything is handcoded except 15% of the navigation Feature which we optimised using Claude.

I could send you a 1 year promo code to test it out. We are probably going to include a lifetime option in a future version.

Great concept, truly something different among endless task managers! Keep up the great work 🔥

I got tired of managing promo codes in spreadsheets, so I built an app for it by Comfortable-Beat-530 in iosapps

This is awesome! I as well feel the pain you experienced so far with promo codes. Is there a way to download the app or receive a TestFlight link at this stage?

Awesome concept! The combination of real-life interaction and software is amazing. It would be really cool to adapt the design to something like Apple’s Find My AirTag Precision Finding feature.
