Every blocker has the same flaw: a cancel button. When the urge hits, you tap "end session" and you're scrolling again. Bunkr removes the button. LOCKED STAYS LOCKED Pick your apps. Set a duration. That's it — no cancel, no "just five minutes," no talking your way out. The lock ends when the timer ends. EARN YOUR WAY OUT Want out early? Do something real. Push-ups. A picture of the open sky. Make your bed. Find an item and photograph it. Bunkr's AI verifies your proof in seconds — and it refuses fakes. No proof, no unlock. SET IT AND FORGET IT Recurring schedules lock your worst hours automatically — mornings, study blocks, wind-down. A Live Activity on your lock screen shows the countdown. A strict, limited override window exists for real emergencies. It's an exit, not a loophole. HONEST NUMBERS Every completed lock is credited only if you actually held it. Your activity tab shows hours earned, not hours claimed. Streak shields forgive one slip — the stats never lie for you. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-up. Apple's Screen Time framework seals your app data on your device — Bunkr cannot see what you use. Mission photos are verified once and discarded, never stored. No tracking, no ads, ever. BUNKR PRO SUBSCRIPTION Bunkr Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $29.99 per year with a 3 day free trial, or $5.99 per week. App blocking, AI verified missions and hard lock sessions require an active subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.
