About
The deadline is real. Your phone doesn't care.
MicroSprint turns one scary deadline into a timed sprint plan, then locks your
phone down to the apps you allow until the work is done.
This is not a habit app. There are no streaks to protect and no trees to grow.
It's a fire extinguisher for the week something is actually due.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Type the goal and the deadline. "Finish the quarterly audit by Friday 6pm."
2. Get a plan in seconds — split into focused sprints across the days you have.
3. Start a sprint. Distracting apps stop opening until it ends.
DEADLINE IN, PLAN OUT
Tell MicroSprint what's due and when. It atomizes the work into short,
aggressively timed sprints with breaks built in, spread across the hours you
actually have. Every sprint gets a concrete micro-task, and the whole plan stays
editable — we propose, you decide.
THE HONESTY YOU WON'T GET ELSEWHERE
If the work doesn't fit before your deadline, MicroSprint says so, in plain
numbers, before you start. "5 sprints plus breaks needs 2h 30m. You have 2h 14m."
Then it offers you real options: move the deadline, cut the scope, or take a
triage plan of what genuinely fits. No app should let you walk into a deadline
believing a lie.
YOUR PHONE, CONSCRIPTED
During a sprint, MicroSprint shields the apps and categories you chose using
Apple's Screen Time technology. Not a nag screen — the apps don't open. Choose
your exit friction: Normal lets you stop anytime, Strict makes you type your own
commitment phrase and wait out a cooldown, Hardcore holds until the sprint ends.
THE COUNTDOWN FOLLOWS YOU
A live countdown sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so every
reflexive phone grab collides with the ticking deadline instead of a feed. Tick
off a micro-task from the Island or a Home Screen widget without opening the app.
WHAT WE CAN'T SEE
Apple hands us anonymous tokens for the apps you pick. MicroSprint physically
cannot see which apps you use, choose, or get blocked from — and we never try.
Your missions and stats stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Ever.

PRICING, HONESTLY
$4.99/week, $9.99/month, or $39.99/year. Monthly and annual include a 7-day free
trial. Every price is on one screen — we don't bury the cheap one. Use
MicroSprint for the crunch and cancel when you ship. We built it expecting you to
leave, and to come back when the next deadline lands.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period
ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings.
