About
Your phone wins because it's easy. Hardline makes it hard.
Most screen time apps give you a limit and a button to ignore it. Hardline gives you locks that don't bend.
LOCKS DON'T BEND
• Set a daily limit for the apps that eat your time, in 5-minute steps. Hit it and they lock until midnight.
• Schedule locks for class, study or sleep: weekdays 9 to 5, every night 23:30 to 07:00.
• A running lock can't be paused, edited or deleted. That's the point.
UNLOCKING COSTS YOU
Pick how hard it is to break a lock:
• Firm: wait 5 minutes, then type a sentence to get in for 5 minutes.
• Hard: wait 10 minutes, type the sentence, and lose your streak.
• Brutal: no unlocks at all. Locks end when they end.
You can raise the strictness any time. Lowering it takes 24 hours.
FOCUS SESSIONS
Lock every distracting app for 25 minutes to 3 hours. No early exit. Breaking a session costs your streak.
ONE EMERGENCY PASS A WEEK
For the moments you really need your phone: everything opens for 15 minutes, then every lock comes back by itself.
STREAKS ARE EARNED
Every clean day counts. Stay clean and rank up from Recruit to Vault. Break a lock and you start from zero.
