## What is Vowlock?

Most app blockers are a toggle you flip off the moment an urge hits. Vowlock is built on a harder truth: no iOS blocker is unbreakable, so breaking one should cost something real.

With Vowlock you do not just block apps. You seal a vow.

SEAL A VOW
Choose the apps that eat your evenings. Choose how long the vow runs. Then seal it with a short ritual: three questions, one spoken plea recorded on camera, and your heartbeat captured at the moment you commit. From that second, your chosen apps go dark behind Apple's Screen Time shields.

BREAKING COSTS SOMETHING
Want out early? Vowlock will not shame you, but it will not make it easy. You must sit through the break ritual and watch the recording of yourself asking you not to. Most urges do not survive that mirror.

THE PROMISE WALL
Every vow becomes a glass pane on your wall. Kept vows shine. A broken pane does not shame you; it reforges after seven kept days. Over weeks, the wall becomes a quiet record of who you are becoming.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE
Your pleas, your app list, and your heartbeat stay on this device. No account. No upload. Apple's Screen Time technology means Vowlock cannot even see the names of the apps you block.

VOWLOCK PLUS
The core promise is free forever: one active vow with full strictness and the full ceremony. Plus adds more simultaneous vows, schedules, history, widgets, and insights, as a monthly or annual subscription or a one time lifetime purchase.

Vowlock is for people who are done negotiating with themselves. Seal the vow. Keep it. Watch the wall fill.
