Precommit - the deadline that won’t let you wiggle out Ditch procrastination by locking the things you care about (apps, photos, notes) behind goals you choose. When the goal is met, Precommit unlocks automatically. Until then, temptation stays sealed. Simple, brutal, effective. Why you’ll love it β€’ Timer Locks - Set any countdown from 5 minutes to 30 days. Perfect for focus sprints and exam marathons. β€’ Location Locks - Make yourself go to the gym, library or park. Choose β€œVisit only” or β€œStay X minutes” for extra accountability. β€’ Health Locks - Syncs with Apple Health to release when you hit steps, calories, workouts or stand-hours. β€’ App-Usage Locks - Block TikTok, games or entire categories until you’ve spent time being productive elsewhere. β€’ Force Unlock with Cooldown – Need out early? You canβ€”but only after waiting out a cooldown timer that makes you feel the pain of breaking your commitment. No payments, no cheats. β€’ Privacy-first - All goals and files live on device. We never see your data. β€’ Beautifully native - Built with Swift and SwiftUI. How it works 1. Pick what you want to lock access to (photo, video, note, or selected apps). 2. Choose a lock type and set the goal. 3. Hit Precommit - your content disappears from view. 4. Complete the goal. Precommit verifies it in real time and puts everything back. 5. Or, force unlockβ€”but only after a mandatory cooldown that stops knee-jerk impulses.
