Mastery β Stop feeding distractions. Start building power. Most people donβt have a time problem. They have a standards problem. You say you want discipline, then hand your day to social apps, random scrolling, and mood-based decisions. Mastery is built to end that cycle. Mastery turns your habits and skills into a score-driven progression system with real consequences, real momentum, and real proof that youβre changing. The killer feature: Non-Negotiable Mode This is where Mastery separates itself from soft productivity apps. Set a habit as non-negotiable, choose distracting apps, and those apps stay locked until you complete the habit. No fake βnudges.β No gentle reminders. If the work isnβt done, the distractions stay closed. You can configure it your way: β’ Set global blocked apps for your full discipline system β’ Add extra blocked apps to specific habits β’ Choose active weekdays β’ Run all-day locks or custom time windows If you keep breaking promises to yourself, this is the feature that stops the bleed. Free vs Premium The free version of Mastery allows tracking up to 3 habits or skills. With a Mastery subscription, you can unlock unlimited habit and skill tracking, allowing you to build a complete discipline system around everything that matters to you.
