## What is DialUp?

DialUp turns opening distracting apps into a deliberate choice.

Choose the apps you want to protect. When you open one, DialUp asks how long that specific app should stay available. Make your choice, complete the full 39-second dial-up connection ritual, and continue with intention. When time expires, the line closes again.

ACCOUNTLESS BY DESIGN
No profile, password, or cloud account is required. Your app selections, schedules, and onboarding answers stay on your device. Progress reports use Apple’s Screen Time framework and remain inside its privacy-preserving system.

DialUp does not read your messages, browsing history, or app content. It uses Apple’s Screen Time controls to keep selected apps behind the connection gate.

A line is a temporary, user-timed connection you decide to open. DialUp does not impose a daily allowance; you choose whether to connect and for how long.
