## What is Broc?

Turn your phone into broccoli.

Hold one button and the apps you lose time to are blocked. To get them back, you have to go tap your Broc tag, an NFC sticker you put somewhere that takes effort to reach. By the time you get there, the urge has usually passed.

HOW IT WORKS
- Pick the apps, categories or websites to block
- Hold to broc. Your phone is now broccoli.
- Tap your Broc tag to un-broc

FEATURES
- Works with any NTAG213, 215 or 216 NFC sticker
- 5 emergency un-brocs for real emergencies. They never refill.
- A timer that shows how long you've been broccoli, plus a home screen widget
- Your app list and tag are locked while you're broccoli

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no tracking, no servers. Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time, and Broc can't see which apps you picked.
