ADHD? DISTRACTIONS? JUST LAZY? It doesn't matter. Stop making excuses. You know the drill: You sit down to study, and 5 minutes later, you’re scrolling social media. Your willpower is weak. You need consequences. Hush or Blush is the high-stakes focus timer that doesn't ask you nicely. It forces you to LOCK IN. KILL YOUR PROCRASTINATION This is the ultimate tool for students, ADHD brains, and anyone who needs a kick in the pants to get work done. • LOCK IN: Set your time. • ACTIVATE: Hit the button. Your phone is now a "Live Grenade." • DON'T MOVE: Lock the screen and back off. Don't try anything else or... BOOM! Public shame. • SURVIVE: Complete the session to save your dignity. DO YOU DARE TO USE THIS IN A LIBRARY? If you try to leave the app, unlock your phone, or try to cheat during a session, the app instantly punishes you with a loud, embarrassing sound of your choice. The Challenge: Can you sit in a quiet room for 45 minutes without triggering the alarm and having everyone stare at you? FEATURES - The "Shame" Engine Once a study session starts, your phone is a minefield. Don't even think about picking it up until the session ends, or you will be punished with an embarrassment of your choice—Sirens, Screams, and more. - The Mystery Crate (Rewards) You want dopamine?

When did you last change the air filter? Water the succulents? Call your mom? Ago answers one question: how long has it been? Tap once to reset. That's it. THE GAP BETWEEN A TO-DO LIST AND A CALENDAR Not a streak tracker. Not a to-do list. Ago lives in the gap between both - for things with a rough cadence you want to honor, not a fixed schedule. Car tires. The dentist. The friend you keep meaning to call. Plants that need water every couple of weeks or so. NO GUILT TRIPS. JUST THE NUMBER. Ago shows you how long it's been and gets out of the way. No judgment. No chain to break. No notifications nagging you. Open it when you want to know. The "three months?!" moment is the whole product. You see the number, you decide what to do about it. ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show the live elapsed time, counting up in real time - Log something done right from the widget, without opening the app - A soft deadline turns a card overdue when it's been too long - a quiet cue, never an alarm BUILT TO BE EXACT, NOT FUZZY - See the precise time since you last did it, down to the day - Open any item for a monthly calendar of its history - Give each thing an icon and a color so the list reads at a glance WHAT PEOPLE TRACK WITH AGO - Home maintenance: air filter, furnace, gutters - Plant care and watering - Car service and tires - Medication and supplements - Friends and family: how long since you called? - Pet grooming and vet visits SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No accounts. No ads. Nothing to sign in to, nothing to manage. Your data syncs privately across your devices with iCloud, and stays yours. PAY ONCE. KEEP FOREVER. One-time purchase unlocks everything. No subscription. Ever. Pick a color, choose an icon, set a soft deadline, and Ago tells you when something's been a while. No alarm, no nag. Just a card that says it's time.
