## What is ChessUnlock?

ChessUnlock helps you reduce screen time, improve focus, and build a better chess habit by turning distracting apps into chess puzzles.

Choose the apps that pull your attention, such as Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Discord, or other distracting apps. When you want to unlock them, ChessUnlock gives you a chess puzzle first. Solve the puzzle, choose your break time, and continue with more control.

ChessUnlock is designed for people who want to stop automatic scrolling, reduce social media distractions, improve discipline, and practice chess in a simple way.

Features:
• Lock distracting apps
• Unlock apps by solving chess puzzles
• Choose your unlock/break time
• Practice chess tactics while reducing distractions
• Build focus and self-control
• Simple setup and clean design
• Useful for studying, working, and avoiding mindless scrolling

ChessUnlock is not just another app blocker. Instead of only stopping you, it gives you a small chess challenge before your break. This helps you pause, think, and make a more intentional choice.

Use ChessUnlock to stay focused, reduce screen time, and improve your chess one puzzle at a time.
