Your phone isn't your friend. It's the thing standing between you and everything you meant to finish today. FlipOrDie is a ruthless, self-roasting focus timer. No gentle nudges or motivational clichés—just put your phone face down and get to work. HOW IT WORKS • Put your phone face down to begin a focus session. • Flip it face up before the session ends and a 20-second countdown begins. • Type—or in Read-Aloud Mode, speak—the displayed pledge before time runs out. • Fail the challenge or abandon the session, and you lose discipline points and reset your streak. • Complete the session to earn points and keep your streak alive. BUILD YOUR DISCIPLINE Your discipline points and streak reflect what you actually do. Successful sessions move you forward; failed or abandoned sessions set you back. Points never reset on their own. If your points reach zero, focus mode locks until you upgrade to Pro. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE • Type Mode — Type the displayed pledge before time runs out. • Mercy Mode — Get a more forgiving countdown. • Read-Aloud Mode — Say the pledge aloud and let FlipOrDie verify it. • Custom Pledges — Write your own motivational—or merciless—message. FLIPORDIE PRO Upgrade to Pro for: • Unlimited focus sessions with no point-based lockouts • Mercy Mode • Read-Aloud Mode • Fully custom pledges FlipOrDie Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
