## What is Threshld?

Your apps stay shut until the work is done.

Threshld locks the apps you lose hours to, and keeps them locked
until you have hit a goal you set yourself. Not a timer. Not a
reminder you can swipe away. A threshold you have to actually
cross.


HOW IT WORKS

Pick the apps. Pick today's goal. Lock it.

Your goal can be steps, calories burned, miles, or a calorie
ceiling you are staying under — all read straight from Apple
Health, so there is nothing to mark off yourself. Or set a task
and call it done. Nobody checks that one; your word is the
record.

The moment Health says you have hit it, your apps unlock on
their own. You do not have to open Threshld to check. It is
already watching.


PUT IT ON A SCHEDULE

Set your days and a time once, and the lock fires on its own
every morning. Stack up to four goals in a single day — steps,
a task, a calorie ceiling — and nothing opens until all of them
are done.


A RECORD YOU CAN TRUST

Threshld counts the days you showed up, the hours you held the
line, and the calories you burned or saved.

It also counts the days you went over, and the times you stopped
early. The whole point is a record you did not edit.

If you genuinely need out, you can stop early. It just goes in
the record.


PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-up, nothing
uploaded. Task photos never leave the device.

Threshld uses Screen Time to restrict the apps you choose. Calls
and texts always stay open.
