## What is Luddite?

Luddite helps you put your phone down and keep it down.

Pick a commitment length, confirm when you are ready, and Luddite uses Apple’s Screen Time frameworks to shield broad app and web categories until the timer ends.

Built for people who want fewer reflexive checks, less doomscrolling, and more time back.

Features:
• Timed Screen Time commitment sessions
• Broad app and web category shielding
• Progression levels that unlock longer sessions
• Local progress history
• Optional completion notification
• No account
• No ads
• No tracking

Luddite is intentionally strict. Once a session starts, it is designed to run until the selected time ends.
