Stint helps you do deep work through focus challenges with real rewards. Join a pool, put in the focus hours, and qualify for a share of the prize pool when you meet the goal.* There are no penalties or charges for missing a goal. If you don't finish a challenge, you simply don't qualify for the payout. HOW IT WORKS • Join a pool with a fixed entry fee • Complete the daily focus goal in the work apps you chose • Qualify for a payout from the shared prize pool • Focus time is measured on-device through Apple Screen Time and verified by Stint's servers FEATURES Real Blocking • Pick your work apps and the apps that pull you away • Distractions are shielded during a session, with a block screen instead of a swipe-away notification • Focus counts only while you are actually in a work app Challenges • Public pools, or private pools with friends by invite code • Daily focus goals over a multi-day challenge • Prize pools based on total entries • Clear, server-verified qualification rules Room for Real Life • Up to two emergency apps with a small daily allowance • Request a time-boxed window for a social app when you genuinely need one Community • Group chat in every pool • Leaderboard and streaks • Report and block controls to keep chat respectful Stint Pro (optional subscription) • Host your own challenges • Category-level focus analytics • Unlimited blocking • Invite friends to your leaderboard WHY IT WORKS Stint turns focus into a commitment. Everyone in the pool pays the same entry fee and commits to the same goal. Not everyone finishes, and the people who do split the pool. SAFE & SECURE • No penalties for missed goals • Entry fees handled by a secure third-party checkout, never stored by Stint • Focus verified on-device and server-side, not self-reported • Screen Time app selections never leave your device *Stint does not charge users based on individual performance or missed goals. Entry fees are for joining challenges only, and members who do not complete the goal simply do not qualify for the prize pool. Outcomes depend on your own effort, never on chance. You must be 18 or older to join a pool. Payouts are reviewed by the Stint team before they are sent. Apple Inc. is not a sponsor of, and is not involved in any way with, Stint challenges. Apple does not endorse, administer, or provide any prize for any challenge, and has no responsibility for any challenge or for any prize paid out. Stint challenges are run solely by Stint. The full official rules are available in the app at any time under Profile → Settings → Terms of service. Stint Pro auto-renews monthly at $5.99 until cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.
