## What is HanaLock?

HanaLock turns your phone habit into a language habit.

When you reach for a blocked app, HanaLock turns that moment into a short Korean challenge. Complete the challenge to earn temporary access, then return to what you chose to open.

No passive lessons. No streak pressure. Just a moment of recognition every time you reach for your phone.

WHAT YOU LEARN
- Korean vocabulary: words, phrases, and short sentences
- Hangul script recognition
- Practice that tracks your answers, accuracy, and mastery

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose apps, categories, or websites to block
2. HanaLock adds a Screen Time shield to those apps
3. When you try to open one, the shield brings you back to HanaLock for a Korean challenge
4. Complete the challenge to get temporary access for the duration you choose
5. Turn on Hard mode if you want incorrect answers to be retried before continuing
