Anchor Morning

Win your morning — then protect it. Anchor is two things in one: an alarm you can't sleep through, and a full app blocker that guards your focus. The alarm rings past Silent mode and Focus, and the only way to shut it off is to get up and scan a code across the room. No snooze button. No "five more minutes." Then Anchor locks the apps that hijack your attention — at wake-up, or on any schedule you set. WHY ANCHOR WORKS At 6am, willpower isn't awake yet. Anchor replaces willpower with one physical task you can't argue with — get up, walk across the room, scan. Getting out of bed stops being a decision. THE ALARM YOU CAN'T IGNORE • Rings loud through Silent mode and Focus • No snooze-to-oblivion — tap "I'm Up" and the app opens; it won't quietly turn itself off • Optional Quiet Walk and Morning Intentions to start the day clear-headed • Choose 0, 1, or 2 snoozes — your call, not a reflex SCAN TO WAKE — USE ANYTHING The only way to silence the alarm is to scan a code, so you have to physically get up. • Use ANY barcode or QR code you already own — pick something across the room so you can't reach it from bed • Great choices: a toothpaste tube, a cereal or coffee box, a shampoo bottle, a vitamin jar, the back of a book • Register your code once; scanning the right one is what ends the alarm • Prefer a tap? The optional Anchor Tag (NFC) lets you tap to dismiss — a small physical tag you place across the room. Available at anchormorning.app, pairs in seconds. A FULL APP BLOCKER, NOT JUST A TIMER Anchor uses Screen Time to lock the apps that steal your time — built so you can't wriggle out: • Block any apps you choose — social, games, mail, anything • Group your apps and block on your own recurring schedules — mornings, work hours, bedtime, deep-focus sessions • Block on wake-up — the apps you doom-scroll stay locked for a window after your alarm • Start a block instantly with Lock Now whenever you need to focus • Two strictness levels: scan to unlock, or hold-fast (emergency-override only) • Hardcore Mode (optional) — while a block is active, apps can't be deleted, so you can't uninstall your way out • Unlock the same way you wake: scan your code or tap your Anchor Tag FAIR BY DESIGN • Emergency override — a deliberate, limited escape hatch (a few each month) for the mornings life happens • No ads. No data collection. No account — everything stays on your device. Anchor is a paid app with no free trial — start with a low-cost weekly, or save with the yearly plan.
