Curse - Tap to Lock Apps

Curse turns quitting distracting apps into a single physical action. No more relying on willpower or clicking "Ignore Limit" fifteen times a day. Curse pairs with a physical NFC tag — a card, sticker, or keychain you tap against your phone to lock the apps that are stealing your time, and tap again to unlock them. HOW IT WORKS Choose what to lock, tap your Curse tag, and it's gone from your home screen until you tap again. That small bit of friction — actually getting up and finding your tag — is what makes it work where app timers and screen-time limits don't. LOCK MODES • Doomscroll Block — Instagram, TikTok, X, and other feeds that eat your afternoon • Work Mode — silence everything except what you need to get things done • Sleep Mode — keep your phone from keeping you up • Adult Content Block — block adult content categories with one tap • Custom — pick exactly the apps and categories you want to lock SCHEDULES Set recurring lock windows — every weeknight after 10pm, every workday from 9 to 5 — and Curse enforces them automatically in the background, even if you never open the app. BUILT ON APPLE'S SCREEN TIME Curse is built entirely on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework. Locking happens on your device using Apple's own APIs — Curse never sees which apps you use or uploads your activity anywhere. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your current streak, minutes reclaimed today and all-time, and how many lock sessions you've completed — real numbers, not vanity stats. Curse works with any NFC tag you already own, or with a Curse card/tag designed for it.
