Make Me. vs Ransom

Make Me – Alarm & App Blocker Your phone is already very good at making you do things. It pulls you back with notifications. Keeps you scrolling longer than you meant to. Somehow convinces you there is time for one more video. Make Me turns that same machinery in your favor. Set something you want to do. Pushups. Writing 3 good things that happened today. Squats. Walking. Making the bed. Whatever matters. Until it’s done, the apps you choose stay locked. Need more certainty? Add an alarm that will not stop until you complete the task. Some days motivation shows up. Some days it does not. Make Me is for both. HOW IT WORKS Choose what you want to do Set a goal like pushups, squats, steps, or a custom routine. Lock distracting apps Choose the apps most likely to steal your attention. They stay blocked until you finish. Use your phone’s strengths against itself The same device that distracts you becomes the thing that pushes you forward. Verify completion Complete your goal and unlock your apps. Use movement, steps, or camera-based verification depending on the routine. Set alarms that hold the line Create alarms that keep going until the task is complete. GOOD FOR * Building routines that actually happen * Morning discipline * Exercise habits * Reducing mindless scrolling * Parents helping kids earn screen time * Anyone tired of negotiating with themselves You do not rise to the level of your intentions. You rise to the level of your systems. Make Me helps the system hold.

Get your evenings back. Keep your apps. Ransom locks Instagram, TikTok and whatever else eats your day, and asks for push-ups, squats or steps before it opens them. Most of the time you'll decide it isn't worth ten push-ups. That is the whole trick. WHAT CHANGES You stop opening apps by reflex. A set standing between you and the feed makes you notice your hand reaching for the phone, and noticing is most of the battle. The hour before bed comes back. Set a wind-down rule and scrolling takes twice the reps right when you'd normally lose the evening to it. You get a bit stronger without meaning to. Ten push-ups a few times a day adds up faster than you'd think. You watch the number drop. The Progress tab shows today against this time yesterday, and your whole week. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that eat your day. 2. Rex, a buff T-rex with tiny arms, locks them. 3. Do a set. The front camera counts push-ups and squats. The pedometer counts steps. 4. A set earns coins, and coins are minutes, one for one. 15 coins opens your apps for 15 minutes. Spend them on whatever you like. When they run out, your apps lock again until your next set. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account, no sign-up. Your screen time never leaves your phone. The camera looks at your form on the device and never records, saves or uploads a frame. Your screen time is your business. EVERY DAY IS A FRESH START Coins clear at midnight, so unspent minutes never pile up. Had a bad day and scrolled through all of it? Tomorrow starts at zero, and Rex is not going to bring it up. REX COUNTS PROPERLY Half a push-up is not a push-up. The camera looks for real depth, so a bounce doesn't earn a minute. It also means the minutes you do earn actually feel earned. RULES FOR THE HOURS THAT MATTER Name an hour. Dinner, gym time, wind down. During it, opening your apps takes twice the reps. You still can, it just takes more work. PICK YOUR LEVEL Chill, Standard or Beast. Start easy. Move up when ten push-ups stops being a reason to put the phone down. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO It doesn't delete your apps. It doesn't shame you. It doesn't nag. Full access is a subscription that renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
