Love your phone? Good. Anchor is a habit tracker and daily routine planner that makes your favorite apps the reward for following through. Complete your morning routine, then scroll TikTok guilt-free. Finish your workout, then game without shame. Stop fighting your phone โ€” use it as daily motivation instead. Made for people with busy minds, ADHD brains, or anyone who knows the right move but can't quite start. ANCHORS GIVE YOU SOMEWHERE TO GO Reminders tell you what to do. Anchors give you a destination. There's a difference between "I should get dressed" and "I need to walk to my closet." One is a mental battle. The other is just movement. Place an anchor where the task happens โ€” inside the closet, not on the nightstand. When your routine starts, you have somewhere to go. Walk there, tap, and the rest usually follows. HOW IT WORKS 1. Build a routine โ€” organize your daily habits into a sequence for your morning, workout, bedtime, or any time you want to focus. 2. Place your anchors where tasks happen โ€” small tags or printed codes you stick around your home. 3. Walk there to unlock โ€” tap or scan your anchor, and your blocked apps unlock automatically. FOUR WAYS TO ANCHOR โ€ข Tap Anchors โ€” small NFC tags you tap with your phone โ€ข QR Anchors โ€” free printable codes you scan with the camera โ€ข Countdown Timer โ€” minimum-duration tasks like meditation or reading โ€ข Photo Verification โ€” snap a photo as proof for cleaning, cooking, or visual tasks BLOCK THE DISTRACTIONS YOU CHOOSE Pick exactly which apps stay locked behind your routine. TikTok, Instagram, games โ€” whatever pulls you off track. Phone calls, messages, maps, and banking are never touched. Blocking uses your iPhone's built-in Screen Time, so it works system-wide and helps you manage your time without willpower battles. There's always an emergency override โ€” you're an adult โ€” it just takes a few taps so you have a moment to reconsider. SCHEDULE ROUTINES FOR ANY TIME OF DAY Set up morning routines, bedtime wind-downs, workout sequences, or focus sessions for any habit you want to build. Schedule each routine to start when you need it. Track your streaks and celebrate the days you showed up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The app is free. No account required. Your daily routines, habits, and completion data stay on your device. What you do with your time is your business. REQUIREMENTS โ€ข iPhone with iOS 17 or later โ€ข Tap anchors require iPhone 7 or newer (for NFC reading) โ€ข All core features work offline Some days are harder than others. Anchors don't judge โ€” they just give you a place to go. That's often enough. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
