Stop trading on impulse. Start trading on your own rules. MonkTrader is a discipline enforcement app built specifically for traders — using Apple's real Screen Time technology to put a deliberate pause between you and the trade you'll regret. HOW IT WORKS Set your own trading rules: max trades per day, daily or weekly loss limits, cooldowns after a loss, and your actual trading hours. MonkTrader enforces them — not with a reminder, but with a real, OS-level lock on your trading app itself. Every time you open your trading app, MonkTrader asks one honest question: did you close a trade? Win or loss? That's it. No broker connection required, no account linking — just you, being honest with yourself, every time. If you've broken a rule, you get three choices, always: - Stay Disciplined — hold the line - Delay Decision — give yourself a pause before deciding - Continue Anyway — override it, no judgment, fully logged MonkTrader is a friction layer, not a cage. You are always in control of your own device. Nothing is ever permanently locked. BUILT FOR TRADERS, NOT AGAINST THEM - Real Screen Time enforcement, not just notifications - A rule engine you fully control — set it your way - A discipline streak and score that reflect your actual behavior over time - A private, on-device activity log — no broker required - Fully overridable, always — MonkTrader supports your discipline, it doesn't punish you PRIVACY FIRST No login. No account. No data sent anywhere. MonkTrader runs entirely on your device — your trading habits stay yours. Set your rules. Build your streak. Trade like the trader you actually want to be.
