## What is Willow?

Your phone should work for you — not the other way around.

Willow helps you spend less time on distracting apps — social media, games, news, shopping, whatever pulls at you — with thoughtful pauses instead of impossible walls. That's why it's the blocker you won't end up deleting: reaching for a blocked app isn't a dead end, it's a moment to choose.

FRICTION, NOT WALLS
Every block includes a Mindful Pass — a short, intentional window that expires on its own, so you can check what you need without falling into an hour of scrolling. Earn one by writing one honest sentence about why, breathing for thirty seconds, or taking a walk. The shield returns automatically. Willow works with you, not against you.

BLOCK ON YOUR TERMS
• Schedules — social media off during work hours
• Focus Sessions — on-demand deep work
• Daily Limits — by minutes, or by number of opens
• Calendar Rules — blocks that follow your meetings automatically
• Location Rules — no feeds at the gym, library, or office
• Digital Detox — a multi-day reset when you need a clean break

WALK IT OFF
Want more time? Earn it with your feet. Fifty steps buys a short pass — keep walking and the pass grows. It's hard to doomscroll and walk at the same time. That's the point.

CHOOSE YOUR STRICTNESS
Standard keeps passes easy. Timeout makes each pass wait longer than the last. Strict allows a single written-reason emergency pass. And ending a block always works — Willow is a tool you control, never a trap.

STAY ON TRACK
• Home and Lock Screen widgets — opens remaining, Focus Score
• A Live Activity keeps your session in sight
• Weekly insights that skip the shame
• Streaks that bend instead of breaking

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No server. Nothing leaves your phone. Willow is built on Apple's Screen Time technology, which means even Willow never learns which apps you block — the system keeps your choices private from everyone, including us.

CALM BY DESIGN
No red badges, no guilt trips, no streak-shaming. Willow is a quiet, botanical space that treats your attention as something to tend — which is why it still feels good to open a month from now.

Willow is free to use, with Pro unlocking unlimited schedules, limits, and rules.

Spend less time scrolling — and more on what the time was for.
