Research suggests that negative reinforcement for missing deadlines can be up to 29% more effective than positive reinforcement. Due or Die is the to-do app and app blocker for planners who need a little tough love to help get tasks done. Create tasks. Set real deadlines. Select interventions to keep you focused. Due or Die can block selected distracting apps with Screen Time until the work is finished. Miss a deadline and the consequences escalate: complete your overdue task, clear a penalty, and earn your apps back. Helpful? Yes. Polite about your procrastination? Absolutely not. A PLANNER THAT BITES BACK • Add tasks quickly with due dates and exact times • Interventions to lockout your distractions, show detailed countdowns, set aside time for working, or create routines • Use iPhone system alarms that can sound during Silent Mode or Focus • Follow live countdowns on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Start app blocking at custom times to define when app lockouts begin. • Choose the apps, categories, and websites that steal your attention • Keep selected distractions locked until the task is complete • Face escalating consequences when deadlines are missed • Create daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, yearly, and custom recurring tasks • Custom deadline countdowns in-app, on your home screen, and in your notification center • "Personality". Due or Die acts like a drill sergeant to turn “I’ll do it later” into “fine, I’m doing it now.” Missed deadlines triggers a penalty before apps unlock after task completion on top of short, randomized challenges from math, games, captchas, or just taking a good hard look at yourself. The more deadlines you miss in a day, the longer your post-completion lock can last. You remain in control: automatic punishment is optional, Screen Time access can be changed in iOS Settings, and optional selfie challenge images stay on-device and are deleted immediately. REMINDERS WITH A SPINE Get personalized task reminders, morning planning nudges, evening check-ins, app-lock alerts, and a weekly accountability report showing missed tasks and time spent locked out. Helpful? Yes. Polite about your procrastination? Absolutely not. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your tasks, display name, Screen Time selections, and challenge photos stay on your iPhone. No account is required. App blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time frameworks, and camera access is optional.
