Positioned as a strict accountability contract where unlocking requires a deliberate, frictional in-app purchase to break the spell of mindless scrolling. Take Back Your Time with the Ultimate Focus Contract. Is your screen time out of control? Standard app blockers are too easy to dismiss, swipe away, or ignore. When willpower isn't enough, you need an accountability tool that adds real friction to your bad habits. Meet Toll Booth: a strict, zero-compromise screen time manager. We don't just politely remind you to close your apps—we lock them down. HOW IT WORKS Sign the Contract: Select the apps that drain your time the most (like social media or games) and commit to a daily limit. The Vault Locks: Once you hit your 30-minute daily allowance, Toll Booth activates, firmly blocking access to your selected apps. The Access Pass: Need to get back in? The only way to bypass the shield is to purchase a temporary Access Pass. The friction of an in-app purchase is the ultimate deterrent. The choice is yours: save your money, or buy a brief recess. WHY TOLL BOOTH WORKS Most focus apps rely purely on motivation. Toll Booth relies on active loss aversion. By placing a genuine barrier (requiring a purchase) between you and your distractions, your brain stops mindlessly craving the dopamine hit. It’s the ultimate productivity tool for students, remote workers, and anyone tired of losing precious hours to doomscrolling. FEATURES • Unforgiving Shields: Built on Apple's secure Screen Time API to ensure blocks cannot be easily bypassed or deleted. • The Accountability Ledger: Track your "Screen Time Balance"—a visual history of exactly how much your distractions have cost you. • Anti-Cheat Cooldowns: Want to remove an app from your contract to cheat the system? Changing your settings requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. Stop paying with your time. Build better digital habits with Toll Booth today.
