One outdoor challenge a day. Apps locked at night. That’s Gress. Gress helps you interrupt the doomscrolling loop with small, real-world missions. Get a surprise outdoor challenge every 24 hours, move toward your goal, and earn rewards for completing it. Then wind down with Sleep Lock Mode, which helps keep distracting apps out of reach during your sleep window. HOW GRESS WORKS 1. Receive one outdoor challenge. 2. Use the live map and distance tracker to move toward your goal. 3. Complete the mission and claim your points. 4. Keep your streak going with another challenge tomorrow. 5. Set a sleep window to limit distracting apps at night. WHY GRESS? → One fresh outdoor mission every day → Challenges that scale from easy walks to harder adventures → Live distance tracking and map-based goals → Points, streaks, and levels to make movement more engaging → App unlocking tied to completing your mission → Sleep Lock Mode for your nighttime routine → No ads and no endless feed inside Gress Whether you explore a nearby street, café, park, or hidden viewpoint, Gress turns getting outside into a simple daily challenge. Stop the scroll. Go outside. Touch grass.

ADAPTIVE WHITE NOISE ENGINEERED FOR DEEPER SLEEP Sleep isn’t relaxation. Sleep is performance. SleepHack is built for people who want deeper sleep, sharper focus, and higher output — not just background noise. This isn’t another white noise app. This is adaptive sleep optimization. WHY SLEEPHACK? • Adaptive binaural frequencies that shift with your sleep • Engineered sound designed to push deeper rest • Performance-first sleep tracking • Built for high achievers, founders, athletes, and optimizers If you treat your body like hardware, your sleep needs better software. HOW IT WORKS • Intelligent Sleep Engine responds to your movement patterns • Adaptive audio evolves through the night • Designed to support Deep, Core, and REM cycles • Smart alarm that wakes you at the right moment You don’t just play sound. You run a sleep protocol. WHO IT’S FOR • People who wake up tired even after 8 hours • High performers who want a competitive edge • Anyone serious about recovery and mental clarity • Those who want more than “rain sounds” If you care about output, you should care about sleep architecture. FEATURES • Adaptive Binaural Audio • Deep Sleep Enhancement Modes • Smart Alarm • Minimal, performance-driven interface • Ongoing upgrades and sleep protocol refinements STOP GUESSING. START OPTIMIZING. Your sleep is either helping you win or holding you back. Hack it. If you choose to connect your sleep data from HealthKit, SleepHack can use that additional data to improve prediction accuracy as it learns your patterns. Your data is only used with explicit in-app consent, and you remain in control of what is shared. Terms of Service: https://sleephack.app/terms
