Gatehouse

Most blockers are all-or-nothing, so you end up fighting them or just switching them off. Gatehouse works differently: it can tell the time you meant to spend from the time that just slips away. When you want in, say what you're there to do — "check the score," "post the invite," "message my landlord." The gatekeeper opens a small, time-boxed unlock that fits the task, then locks back up on its own. You decide where you want your time to go. Gatehouse helps you get there. HOW IT WORKS - Choose the apps, categories, or websites you want to gate, and set your limits. - When you want in, say what you're there to do. - The gatekeeper grants just enough access, within the limits you set. - The window closes by itself — by time, or by how much you actually use it. A COMMITMENT, NOT A TOGGLE Set your rules once up front, then lock them. After that, loosening them isn't a quick tap — it takes a waiting period, so the call of a distracting app can't undo a good decision. You can always change your mind. You just can't do it on impulse. ROUTINES FOR WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO Pre-approve the recurring stuff — checking messages, logging a workout — with a daily or weekly allowance. Those unlock right away, within the allowance you set. AN OPTIONAL PARTNER Invite someone you trust to co-sign your changes and approve the occasional override. It's backup when you want it, and you can always step away on your own — you're never handing control of your phone to anyone else. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your goals, your gated apps, the names you give your partners, and your history stay on your device. We ask for no name and no email. You can delete your account and all server data from inside the app, anytime. FREE TO TRY The gatekeeper's AI runs on a subscription, Gatehouse Plus, with a one-month free trial. New accounts also get free requests every day, and the guided setup is always free — so you can feel how it works before you commit. Gatehouse won't nag you or shame you. It just makes reaching for a distraction take one honest sentence more than it used to. Usually, that's enough. — Gatehouse requires Screen Time (Family Controls) access to shield apps on your own device. It only ever shields apps on your phone, at your request. — Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://gatekeeper-proxy.dyagress.workers.dev/privacy
