## What is Feedlock?

You don't decide to lose an hour. You just open the app.

Feedlock puts a wall in front of the apps that eat your evenings and a slow
breath in front of the wall. Not a timer you'll ignore. Not a limit you'll tap
past. A real stop.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick what pulls you in. Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, news whatever
   your thumb goes to without asking.
2. Feedlock shields them using Apple's own Screen Time lock.
3. When you reach for one anyway, you get a breath and a question: what are you
   actually here for?

Most of the time, that's enough. You put the phone down.

WHEN A BREATH ISN'T ENOUGH

Strict Mode locks a block so that even you can't lift it early. Pick an hour,
an evening, or until 7 AM, hold to confirm, and it's done. No settings menu to
sneak into at 1 AM. That's the point.

Schedules put it on rails sleep hours, work hours, every weekday so you
stop having to decide.

THE PART NOBODY ELSE DOES

Name a friend as your witness.

If you override a block, they're told. That's it. No lectures, no dashboards —
just someone who knows. It turns out that being seen is the cheapest willpower
there is, and it changes what you do at 1 AM more than any app ever will.

They can send you a nudge back. You can drop them any time.

WHAT YOU GET FREE

- Block as many apps and sites as you want
- The breathing gate before every one
- 7 days of stats: what you dodged, and the time you got back

PRIVACY

Feedlock can't see what you browse, and doesn't want to. Your quiz answers
never leave your phone. There is no ad tracking, no advertising SDK, and no
data sold ever.

Sign in with Apple or an email address. Your blocks, streak, schedules and
witness live on your account, so they follow you to a new phone.
