You set the limits and Rory, a strict but fair AI screen time judge, enforces them. When you hit your daily screen time limit, you can record a voice plea explaining why you need more time. Rory listens, evaluates your case, and delivers a verdict in seconds. Approved pleas unlock extra minutes, denied pleas mean you should go touch grass. Rory adds friction where you need it most – the moment you're about to spiral into another hour of mindless scrolling. Having to say your reason out loud forces you to be honest with yourself, and most of the time you'll realize you don't actually need more time.
