## What is DIAL?

DIAL locks the apps you name until the tasks you wrote are done. 

LIVE ACTIVITY
Your next task sits on the Lock Screen under the clock, with a checkbox. One tap finishes it without having to open the app. The shield lifts the moment your last task is done.

FINISH REAL WORK, EARN REAL MINUTES
Every task you complete banks ten minutes of your blocked apps, to spend whenever you want them. Typing a line and ticking it straight away is worth nothing: a task has to have sat on your list a while before it pays. Earned minutes outrank everything, including the timer below.

GETTING OUT ANY OTHER WAY COSTS FIFTEEN MINUTES
Exempting a task, deleting one, or pulling apps out of the picker all take effect a quarter of an hour later. Finishing the task is instant.

WRITE THE WAY YOU THINK
The list is the editor. Start typing; press return; the next line is a new task. There is no add button and no edit screen.

Write times and repeats in plain English and DIAL reads them back to you in color:
"essay due friday 5pm"
"gym every monday"
"bins every 2nd tuesday"
"mum's birthday sept 14"
"chem lab every tuesday 3 to 5pm"

Wording picks how it reaches you. "Laundry ready at 4pm" rings an alarm at four. "Meeting at 4pm" gives you a quiet reminder before it. A countdown - "nap for 45 min" - wakes you at the end.

PLACES
Add the library, the office, the supermarket. Two things then happen there.

Write a place into a task - "Best Buy: get batteries" - and DIAL tells you about it when you arrive, when you are standing where the thing can actually be done. Naming the place in the line and a swipe left to select a location is all it takes.

And any place can hold the shield up. Your blocked apps stay shut while you are at your desk and open again when you leave.

CALENDAR
A second notepad for things that simply happen: a class, a birthday, a flight. Written the same way, in your own order. A week grid lays them out by time, and tapping a block takes you back to the words.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
No account. No sign-in. No server. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your tasks never leave the device.
