## What is Tact?

The gap isn’t talent. It’s reps.

You consume millions of words every day, but when it’s your turn to speak, you blank. You ramble. You lose the room before you’ve even made your point. Meanwhile, you are losing hours of your life to mindless doomscrolling.

Tact is a strict app blocker designed to cure phone addiction by forcing you to practice the most valuable skill in the world: articulating your thoughts.

We replaced the easy "ignore limit" button with real friction. The only way to unlock your apps is to speak your mind.

HOW IT WORKS
1. The Lock: Tact strictly blocks your most addictive apps (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.).
2. The Prompt: When you try to open a blocked app, Tact gives you an impromptu speaking prompt (e.g., "Describe a pivotal moment in your life that shaped who you are.")
3. The Rep: One clean take. 45 seconds. Camera and mic. You have to actively formulate an answer and speak it out loud.
4. The Unlock: Once you complete your rep, your apps instantly unlock.
5. The Notes: Tact immediately provides AI-driven feedback to show you exactly how to tighten your delivery, stop rambling, and command authority.

WHY TACT WORKS

Unbypassable Friction: Apple's built-in Screen Time is too easy to ignore. Tact requires you to literally use your voice to get your dopamine.

Impromptu Masterclass: 60 days of curated prompts designed to make you think on your feet, build vocal confidence, and eliminate social anxiety.

Active over Passive: You can't consume your way to a better voice. Tact forces your brain to shift from passive consumption to active creation.

Scrolling is silent. Your life shouldn't be.
Download Tact, reclaim your focus, and build an undeniable voice.
