## What is PENGUARD?

Penguard makes focus the default by locking distractions and turning consistency into visible progress. Pick a task, set a duration, and Penguard blocks distracting apps with Screen Time until you finish. Try to quit early, and the AI penguin challenges you—speak the secret phrase if you truly want out.

Why Penguard works: 

Focus sessions that stick: start a timer and finish the task before you can mark it done.
Task blueprint: set precise durations (5–240 minutes), priorities, and weekly recurrences.
Morning routine lock: start your day on purpose with scheduled routines.
Journey progression: climb a 50-step penguin path as you complete tasks.
Smart calendar: plan daily, weekly, or monthly focus blocks.
Gentle but firm nudges: notifications keep you accountable without nagging.
Permissions required for full protection:

Screen Time: blocks distracting apps during sessions.
Notifications: reminds you to show up.
Microphone: powers the voice unlock challenge.
Build better habits, not just longer to-do lists. Penguard helps you protect your time and make focus feel effortless.
