## What is Oath?

You don't have a discipline problem. You have a phone that was built to win. Oath puts it back on your side.

LOCKED-IN
Pick the apps that eat your day. They stay shut until you've done the work. No "just five minutes" button.

EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME
Every focus session mints credits. Credits are the only way into your blocked apps. Ten minutes of focus buys one minute of scroll. You decide what it's worth.

GHOST FEED
Instagram, minus the algorithm. No feed, no Reels, no Stories, no ads, no suggested posts. Just your messages and the people you actually follow, with a daily limit you set. Turn pieces back on one switch at a time if you want them.

WAKE UP FOR REAL
Alarms you can't swipe away. Solve a math problem, walk the steps, shout it off, or do push-ups counted by the camera. Optional morning lockdown keeps every app shut until the challenge is done.

NORTH
Your daily routine as a set of habits with times, streaks and stacking, so one habit pulls the next one along.

THE VERDICT
Every day ends HELD or SLIPPED, judged on what you actually did, not how you felt about it. A streak you can't fake, with one repair a month if life happens.

ALSO IN OATH
Pomodoro focus timer. Winter Arc, a season-long commitment with its own habits and day counter. Tasks with a brain dump that turns a wall of text into a list. A library that scans your books and keeps your notes. Home screen widgets for the day count, the daily line and your routine.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Which apps you block, and how long you use them, never leaves your phone. Apple's Screen Time handles it on the device. We can't see it and don't want to.

OATH+
Oath+ is an auto-renewable subscription billed through your Apple account. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
