Feed your brain. Then your feed. Block the apps you reach for on autopilot. Discover something worth telling a friend, then choose whether to scroll. Read for the fun of it, or answer a discovery’s question correctly to earn a five-minute app pass. TRY IT BEFORE YOU SET IT UP Start with an interactive sample. Then choose your apps, interests and an all-day or custom blocking schedule. TINY READS. REAL PLOT TWISTS. Lava lamps helping guard internet traffic. Why tattoos outlast the skin you shed. An angry customer’s complaint, preserved in clay for nearly 4,000 years. Explore 30 bundled discoveries across ten subjects, available offline. Some are simply good short reads, with no question required. Others offer a question about the idea—not a test of names and dates. Optional memory checks revisit selected discoveries; you can skip them. BREAK EARNED. YOUR CALL. Claim your earned pass within 15 minutes, keep reading, or decide you don't need to open the app after all. The five-minute timer starts when you activate the pass, not when you earn it. It keeps running even when you leave the unlocked app. When it ends, the app is blocked again while protection is scheduled and Screen Time access remains enabled. MAKE “JUST ONCE” WAIT A DAY Optional strict mode adds a 24-hour wait before you can switch it off and weaken your settings. You can still strengthen protection immediately. Strict mode is off by default, and Screen Time access can still be turned off in Settings. Your learning progress stays yours. CORE FREE. PRO IF YOU WANT MORE. App blocking, all focus routines and schedules, strict mode, standard discoveries and earned passes are free. Optional MindPass Pro subscriptions add up to 10 personalized learning paths per UTC calendar month, with six lessons per path. Trial and paid access share the monthly path allowance, with no rollover. Created paths 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 paths, require an internet connection. Your curiosity gets a turn before your feed does. Try your first discovery.
