## What is IntentLock?

IntentLock — Put a Daily Budget on the Apps That Eat Your Day

IntentLock gives the apps you choose a daily time limit – then counts every minute you take past it, so the habit stops being invisible.

Every screen-time app lets you take more time. IntentLock is built around what happens after you take it.

-----------------------------
Set a Daily Budget

• Pick the apps that take your day
• Give each one a limit – 30 minutes, 45, an hour
• Under the limit, nothing happens at all
• Over it, the app stops opening

No lockouts. No lectures. No streak to protect.

-----------------------------
Take More Time, On Purpose

• Choose 1, 2, 5 or 10 extra minutes
• The 10 needs a three-second hold
• No "ignore for today", no snooze, no off switch
• 10 minutes means 10 minutes of use, not 10 minutes of clock – put the phone down and you are not spending it

The time is always yours to take. It just costs a decision.

-----------------------------
How Is This Different From Screen Time?

• Screen Time lets you ignore a limit for the rest of the day, in one tap. The largest thing you can take here is ten minutes
• Screen Time forgets that you ignored it. IntentLock keeps the count
• Extra time is measured in use, not in clock time
• One number to read, instead of a weekly report you close

Apple gives you the limit. IntentLock gives you the record.

-----------------------------
See Where It Went

• Today – every budget, what is left, how far past you went
• Weekly – seven days at a glance, and the hour you slip most
• Any day – every extension you took, and when you took it
• Share card – one picture of your week, made for sending to someone
• Counted in five-minute steps, the finest resolution iOS allows. Minutes past the budget are exact, because you asked for them

Time taken past the budget has a name: drift. It is the one number this app reports on.

-----------------------------
Private by Design

• No account, no sign-up, no server
• Nothing leaves your iPhone, because there is nowhere to send it
• Built on Apple's Screen Time API – iOS reports which of your chosen apps you opened, and for how long
• Never what is inside them: no messages, no posts, no browsing, no contacts

Not "we don't sell your data". There is no data to sell.

-----------------------------
Built for People Who Already Know

IntentLock is designed for people who want:
• A limit they set themselves
• An honest count instead of a punishment
• To decide, rather than be stopped
• One number, not a dashboard

-----------------------------
Premium Features (Optional)
