VIEW PROJECTED LIFE LOSS BASED ON SCREEN TIME You've already lost hours today to apps built to trap you. Kaze calculates exactly how many years of your life you're on track to waste, shown as a life calendar of 80 dots. It also let's you block the apps stealing your time. We've built a couple of features to help you get rid of your phone addiction. ADD AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER Your accountability partner can add your stats to their home screen and view your live hourglass status and streaks. They can also see when you’ve exceeded the daily limit you set. STRICT MODE VS EASY MODE Two lock strengths, because willpower alone doesn't work: Easy : 40-second pause before any app opens. Optional short break. Strict : No bypass. No app deletion . Until block time is over. USE GOOD APPS TO UNBLOCK THE REST Build good habits with Kaze by blocking distracting apps until you spend some time on other productive apps HOURGLASS DRAINS AND BREAKS IN REALTIME Your cute hourglass mascot cracks and drains as your screen time rises. FOUR BLOCK MODES Four blocking modes built for how addiction actually works: Scheduled Block : automatically blocks apps during focus hours, bedtime, or quiet mornings. Save and reuse Quick Block : block everything for the next 1–4 hours in one tap Earn access : can't open Instagram until you've read for 10 minutes first Daily Limit : Instagram allowed for 1 hour max, then blocked for the rest of the day COMPETE WITH FRIENDS Add friends to compete in your leaderboard based on who can stay under their limit and maintain their streak. Kaze Pro subscription includes: • Weekly – $5.99/week, billed weekly • Monthly – $9.99/month, billed monthly • Annual – $39.99/year, billed annually Cancel anytime - No commitment All subscriptions auto renew unless canceled Terms of Use: https://aishahhamman24.github.io/kaze-legal/terms-of-service.html Privacy Policy: https://aishahhamman24.github.io/kaze-legal/privacy-policy.html
