## What is Glade?

Put down your phone. Grow your forest.

Glade is a nature-themed focus app that actually blocks distracting apps using Apple's Screen Time API. Every session you complete grows your virtual tree. Every session you quit early withers it. The accountability is what makes it work.

WHY GLADE?

• Real app blocking via Apple Screen Time API — apps are truly locked until your session ends, no tricks
• 10 animated nature scenes — choose your focus companion: Oak, Cherry Blossom, Lotus, Fox, Panda, Owl, Deer, Mountain, Ocean, or Aurora
• Smart scheduling — set rules like "Block Instagram weekdays 9–12" and they run automatically, without you lifting a finger again
• Leaf points — every completed session earns points that level up your forest
• Streak system — build daily consistency, protect your streak, feel the momentum grow

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick the apps you want to block (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games — anything)
2. Choose your duration — 25 minutes, 1 hour, or fully custom
3. Select a nature scene that speaks to you
4. Tap Start — apps lock instantly, your tree begins to grow

Complete the session and your tree advances:
Seed → Sprout → Sapling → Young Tree → Mature Tree → Ancient Forest

Quit early? Your tree withers. This gentle accountability is what keeps you going.

WHO IS GLADE FOR?

• Students who get pulled into social media while studying
• Remote workers fighting the urge to scroll during deep work hours
• Writers, designers, and developers who need distraction-free focus blocks

No willpower required once it's set up.

PRIVACY

Glade does not transmit which apps you use to our servers. All blocking and monitoring happens entirely within Apple's Screen Time framework, on your device. We never see your app usage data.

Every time you reach for your phone, your forest is waiting. Focus. Grow.
