A PHYSICAL KILL-SWITCH FOR DIGITAL DISTRACTIONS. Screen-time apps are easy to cheat. Willpower eventually runs out. Node is different. It is a physical kill-switch for your digital distractions. By offloading your self-control to a physical object, you create a barrier that algorithms cannot break. STOP FIGHTING. SEVER THE CONNECTION. Your phone is designed to steal your attention. Node turns it back into a tool. Tap to Lock: Touch your phone to the Node to instantly cut off access to social media, games, and noise. Deep Work: Essential apps stay open; distractions stay dead. Physical Key: To unlock, you must physically return to the Node and tap out. No cheat codes. MONK MODE: NO LOOPHOLES For those who need absolute discipline. When you activate Monk Mode: Deletion is Impossible: You cannot delete the Node app or your blocked apps until the session ends. Locked In: You cannot edit your block list or cancel the timer. Burn the Ships: Once you tap in, there is no way out but through. FEATURES Physical Toggle: Initiate focus sessions with a tactile tap. Selective Blocking: Block entire categories (Social, Entertainment) or specific addictive apps. Streak Tracking: Visualize your reclaimed time and build a habit of deep work. Strict Enforcement: We combine hardware friction with un-deletable software blocking. HARDWARE REQUIREMENT Node is designed to work with the Node accessory. While the app interface can be explored without it, the core physical locking and unlocking features require the hardware device.
