## What is 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. Cancel anytime.
