## What is Mindset?

A better you isn't built on motivation. It's built on enforcement.
Mindset doesn't remind you to focus. It forces you to.
When you start a session, your selected apps and websites become completely unusable. Not hidden. Not grayed out. Blocked. The block screen is full-screen, non-dismissible, and cannot be bypassed. There are no warnings, no grace periods, no workarounds.
ENFORCEMENT, NOT MOTIVATION
Most focus apps send you notifications, play sounds, or show streaks. Mindset takes a different approach: it makes distraction structurally impossible.
Block an app - and its website is blocked too. Switching to a browser doesn't help. The loophole is closed.
Especially effective for people with ADHD. When your brain resists friction and seeks stimulation, the only thing that works is removing the option entirely. Mindset eliminates the decision so you never have to fight it.
SESSIONS
Set a timer, select what to block, and start. While the session is active, blocked content is completely inaccessible and every access attempt is logged.
When you hit the block screen, you see a quote from the category you chose - Biblical Insight, Quran, Stoic Wisdom, Science & Neuroscience, Classical Philosophy, Deep Space Perspective, Innovators & Scientific Minds, or Mr Roaster if you need a reality check. A moment of stillness instead of a moment of distraction.
Choose how you handle breaks:

Timed break pool - 15 minutes total, use it when you need it
Challenge unlock - earn your way back with push-ups or a round of tic-tac-toe
Titan Mode - no breaks, no unlocks, no exits

POMODORO
Work in structured intervals built around how your brain actually focuses. Customize your work time, rest time, and session count. Start it, lock in, and let the timer do the rest.
OPEN BLOCKING
No timer. No end point. Block for days or weeks. For people who need discipline without boundaries.
YOUR SCREEN TIME, EXPOSED
See exactly how much time you've spent on your phone today, this week, this month. Track how many times you picked it up - every single one. Watch the numbers change as Mindset does its job.
ROOMS - FOCUS TOGETHER OR FAIL TOGETHER
This is where Mindset becomes something else entirely.
The host creates a Room, selects app categories to block, and invites up to 4 others. The moment someone joins, those categories are locked on their phone. No setup. No negotiation. Blocked.
Then the session begins.
Every phone in the Room is enforced simultaneously. If someone tries to open a blocked app, the entire Room sees it. Their dot goes red. Everyone knows. There is nowhere to hide.
No breaks in Rooms. Ever. You either focus or you expose yourself to the people you invited.
Rooms auto-terminate after 24 hours and can recur daily so your group shows up and locks in every single day.
This is accountability that actually works - not a leaderboard, not a chat, not a streak. Real-time enforcement in front of real people.
PRIVATE & SAFE
Mindset is built on Apple's official Screen Time API. Your app activity never leaves your device. No data is sold, no browsing is tracked, no usage is monitored by us. Enforcement happens locally - on your phone, by your phone.
BUILT FOR DISCIPLINE
Mindset is for people who are done negotiating with themselves. We don't motivate. We enforce. Because a better you deserves better tools.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-08-28

IMMERSIVE POMODORO
Pomodoro just got cinematic. Work in structured intervals wrapped in ambient soundscapes and looping visuals designed to keep you locked in — not just timed, immersed.

NEW BREAK CHALLENGES
Two new ways to earn your way back from a break: the Walking Game and the Flag Game, alongside push-ups and tic-tac-toe.

LOCKDOWN MODE
Once a session starts, Mindset can't be uninstalled until it ends. No deleting the app to escape enforcement. No shortcuts.

PIN PROTECTION
Set a PIN to stop yourself from changing settings mid-session — or give it to someone you trust so only they can unlock you early.

29 LANGUAGES
Mindset now speaks Arabic, Azerbaijani, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
