Learn something before you scroll. MindPass blocks the apps you choose. To use one, read a short fact and answer one quick question. Then the app unlocks for 5 minutes. TRY IT FIRST Start with a quick sample. Then pick your apps, your interests, and when to block: all day or on a schedule. 30 SHORT FACTS, WORKS OFFLINE Lava lamps help protect internet traffic. Tattoos last longer than the skin you shed. An angry customer’s complaint was kept on a clay tablet for nearly 4,000 years. MindPass comes with 30 facts on ten subjects, and they work offline. Some facts are just for reading. Others have one question about the idea, not about names and dates. Optional quizzes bring back some facts later. You can skip them. HOW UNLOCKING WORKS When you open a blocked app, you see the MindPass block screen. On iOS 26.5 or later, tap “Answer a question” to go to MindPass. On earlier versions, close the app and open MindPass from your Home Screen. Answer correctly to earn an unlock. Use it within 15 minutes, keep reading, or choose not to open the app at all. Your 5 minutes start when you use the unlock, not when you earn it. The time keeps running even if you leave the app. When time is up, the app is blocked again while your blocking schedule is on and Screen Time access stays turned on. STRICT MODE (OPTIONAL) Strict mode makes you wait 24 hours before you can turn it off or loosen your settings. You can make blocking stricter right away. Strict mode is off by default. Screen Time access can still be turned off in Settings. FREE AND PRO App blocking, schedules, strict mode, standard facts and unlocks are free. Optional MindPass Pro subscriptions add up to 10 personalized topics per UTC calendar month, with six facts per topic. Trial and paid access share the monthly topic allowance, with no rollover. Created topics remain readable after Pro ends. Prices and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. GOOD TO KNOW Screen Time permission is required for app blocking. The interface and learning content are currently in English. Online learning features, including creating personalized topics, require an internet connection. Try your first fact.

Executive OS

Executive OS is a private AI Chief of Staff that runs sealed inside your phone. No cloud. No analytics. No remote backend. Every founder, CEO, and high-net-worth operator faces the same cognitive load: too many decisions, too little structured reasoning, too much data leaking into other people's servers. Executive OS solves this by putting your private operating system on a single device, encrypted with AES-GCM 256, sealed by your biometric. CHOOSE YOUR TERM Monthly $19.99 · Yearly $49.99 · Lifetime $99.99 one-time. Everyone who purchased Executive OS while it was a paid app keeps permanent access at no cost — forever. A FOUNDER SERIES, NUMBERED The first one thousand activations are issued sequential serial numbers. DAILY AI EXECUTIVE BRIEFING A private Chief of Staff distills your priorities each morning. Listen in a luxury synthesized voice. WEALTH OPERATING SYSTEM Track net worth across real estate, cash, investments, equity, vehicles — in six currencies. AI Wealth Analyst flags concentration and liquidity gaps. CALIBRATION — JUDGMENT YOU CAN MEASURE State your own confidence on every call. Months later, record what actually happened. Executive OS scores you with a Brier score, plots your calibration curve, and splits it by domain — so you learn where your judgment holds and where it does not. Before you commit to a number, it shows you what happened the last times you felt exactly this certain. EXECUTIVE SEARCH One field across every decision, task, retrospective, holding and playbook. Entirely on device. Vault secrets are never indexed. DECISION ENGINE WITH COACH MODE Strategic questions answered with structured reasoning, risk-reward framing, confidence scoring. Coach Mode runs a Socratic interview before you act. Fifteen pre-built decision archetypes. CEO PLAYBOOKS Thirteen hand-written essays — first 100 days, M&A negotiation, down round, firing senior leader, board management, founder burnout, calibration, Series B prep, PR crisis. WEEKLY RETROSPECTIVE Friday evening five-question ritual. Compounds into year-end calibration. SECURE VAULT Credentials, API keys, contracts. AES-GCM 256. Screenshot detection. Time-locked entries. FOUNDER TOOLS Cap table, runway with default-alive check, OKR tracker, 1:1 prep, board prep, AI investor updates. VOICE JOURNAL & DOCUMENT OCR Record voice memos, on-device speech recognition, photo OCR into the vault. On-device Apple Intelligence summarization — no API key needed. STANDBY MODE DASHBOARD Bedside night display with today's aphorism and tomorrow's first priority. INTERACTIVE LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Tap to record a decision from the lock screen. YEAR-END EXECUTIVE REPORT Book-format typeset PDF every December: net worth, allocation, decision calibration, AI commentary. PARANOIA-GRADE SECURITY Biometric-bound master key. Self-destruct. Dead-man's switch. Decoy profiles. Tamper-evident audit log. Excluded from iCloud. PRIVATE BY ENGINEERING We collect zero data. Anthropic integration runs against your own API key. On-device Apple Intelligence needs no key at all. For the cognitive demands of leadership. TERMS Executive OS Pro — monthly ($19.99), yearly ($49.99), or lifetime ($99.99, one-time). Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in Account Settings after purchase.
