## What is Bonsai?

Instead of relying on self-motivation to stay focused and away from your phone, Bonsai lets a friend help you stay on task.

Features:

Accountability Partner: Add a friend or family member who is committed to helping you stay on track.

Boundaries: Set limits on apps and categories that you want to waste less time on.

Limit reached: Request more time from your accountability partner, or purchase an optional manual override token to bypass your limits.

Metrics: View stats like daily, weekly, and monthly screen time, helping you keep track of your progress
