Answer them correctly to earn a timed pass. Then it re-locks automatically. ◆ SIMPLE PRICING, NO CATCHES Your first app is free forever — with every single feature. Want to shield more than one app or website? That's Ivy Lock Pro: $4.99/month, or $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Nothing else is paywalled. ◆ STUDY WHILE YOU SCROLL Choose from USMLE Step 1 & 2, MCAT, GRE, SAT, and ACT question banks. Every distraction becomes a micro-study session. ◆ BREATHE FIRST, DECIDE SECOND A guided breathing exercise gives you a mindful pause before you reach for that app. Most of the time, you'll realize you don't need it. ◆ PROVE IT IN THE REAL WORLD Verified gates use your iPhone itself: photo proof, camera-counted push-ups, real steps, a walk outside, handwriting, a Watch mindful minute — all checked on-device. ◆ DESIGN YOUR OWN GATE Set the proof YOU need: a photo of your textbook, a GPS check-in at the library, a QR checkpoint taped across the room, or a mantra you must type word-for-word. ◆ TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Streaks, XP, per-topic mastery, accuracy, and weekly study charts keep you motivated.
