## What is FareGate?

FareGate locks the apps that eat your day behind your own Anki deck. Pick the
apps to gate; iOS Screen Time keeps them shut; clear ten cards and you've earned fifteen
minutes. The cards are yours — imported from your real collection, including decks made with AnKing or AnkiHub — and with a FareGate account and our open-source desktop bridge, your reviews sync
back to Anki, so nothing you do here is wasted. Money never opens the gate: there are no paid
skips, for anyone, and the emergency pass is always free. Finished your reviews for the day?
The gate opens free, and we tell you so.

The gate isn't a goal-checker that just confirms you studied somewhere else — the gate IS the
study session, on the phone, right where you reach for the feed.

• Your actual cards, rendered faithfully. Not a quiz clone — your own notes and
  templates, shown the way you expect.
• The toll is cards, not dollars. Ten cards buys fifteen minutes. The toll is
  always reviews; there is never a paid skip.
• Earn your minutes, then get on with your day. When time's up, the gate returns.
• A fair toll, honestly built. An emergency pass is always free when you truly need
  through. No fake urgency, no dark patterns.

You feel it work before you commit: your first gate opens in a practice run — real cards,
a real gate opening — before iOS ever asks for Screen Time permission.

Import your Anki decks (.apkg). Built first for USMLE and med students already doing
hundreds of reviews a day.

FareGate Pro unlocks up to 50 gated apps, the Morning Gate, the Live Activity countdown
and deep stats.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-03

A dry run, then the real thing.

- Setup now asks what you're studying for, which app takes your breaks, and how often. Answer, and it adds up what a day of fares would clear in the cracks — from your own numbers, at 10 cards a fare.
- The practice gate is now a plain dry run: three cards, a simulated app, and a note that Screen Time is what opens your real apps.
- Turn on Screen Time and pick an app, and your first real gate opens inside setup — an opening fare of 3 cards; the everyday fare is 10. Setup then sends you into your app while the window is live and finishes the rest at the concourse.
- Until your own deck is connected, gates run on FareGate's built-in starter cards — 15 now, kept on your phone and labeled as starter fare. Bring your own deck whenever you're ready.
- The notifications ask now comes with the daily reminder, not bundled into the Screen Time step.
- Settings gains "Walk through setup again".

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-31

Larger type, straighter talk.

- Emergency pass now grows with your text size. At the largest accessibility sizes it wraps instead of squeezing.
- Primary buttons trade their gradient for a flat fill that reads clearly in light and dark.
- On smaller iPhones the concourse header no longer stacks "15 min" over this week's reclaimed time.
- If a gate can't open after you've paid, FareGate says so plainly instead of celebrating early.
- Restore Purchases now speaks in its own words when it can't confirm your subscription, and tells you what to do next.
- An empty sync notice that read aloud as nothing is gone.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-26

Your gates now look like the apps they hold.

- Every gated app leads with its own icon, standing between the posts of its turnstile. The concourse finally shows what it is holding.
- Paying your fare moves the gate arm: it tenses, snaps and settles, with a haptic cut to match.
- The app you pick during setup keeps its icon all the way through to the gate that greets you later.
- Your share ticket is one tap from the moment you clear the day, instead of three.
- Clearer type wherever a heading sits over the station plate.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-13

The first update.

- Your first ride now starts at the gate itself: open a practice gate — real cards, a real gate opening — before iOS ever asks for Screen Time access.
- If Screen Time access fails to turn on, FareGate now says so and offers a retry — or you can continue without it. No dead ends.
- Your share ticket now prints your fare (10 CARDS → 15 MIN) next to your own numbers.
- Sync is more honest at the edges: reviews too old to ride back are counted and set aside, and duplicate write-backs are gone.
- Fixed: the one-time Pro introduction after your first real gate never appeared. It shows now — once. "Not now" always works.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-10

No release notes.
