Your feeds should cost something. Kinase shields your apps until you've made something — thirty seconds of you, on camera. Sun, movement, your rules. No server. Ever. Other blockers take something away. Kinase makes you build something first. Pick the apps that eat your hours. They start every day shielded — and they open the moment you've met conditions you chose yourself: morning daylight, a walk, a workout, push-ups, pages read. And one condition above all: thirty seconds of you, talking to a real camera, making something. Meet your recipe and the shield lifts on its own. No button. Your apps stay open until sunset, or whatever re-lock time you set. Tomorrow, the cycle runs again. YOUR RULES, YOUR REACTOR • Thirty tracked activities credited automatically from Health — biking, swimming, HIIT, yoga, pickleball, and more • Invent your own conditions: push-ups × 50, ten pages, anything — honor-logged with one tap • Staged recipes: sunlight first, then movement, then create • Quiet hours: the shield forces on for dinner (5–7, or your window) and your earned time resumes by itself • Loosening your own rules takes 12 hours — instant relief isn't the product THE TAKE THAT UNLOCKS YOUR DAY • A real camera with prompts, freestyle, or your own script • A teleprompter that learns your reading pace in one rehearsal • Take Studio: captions in your words, silences cut, ums dropped, title card, 9:16 — ready to post • Every take kept in your Vault: a year from now, a body of work THE PROOF • Reclaimed: your hours back versus your old average — and what they became: takes, miles, daylight, workouts • Streaks, milestones, a year-long heatmap PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Videos, transcripts, and Health data never leave your phone. No account. No server. Nothing uploaded, ever. Kinase Premium is required after setup: $9.99/month with a 7-day free trial, or $79.99/year ($39.99 your first year). Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings.
