Dagbook

Your days. Your rules. A little space for whatever matters to you. A habit, a personal project, a few thoughts you want to keep. Track it. Write it down. Make it your own. A MARK. A THOUGHT. OR BOTH. Some days are a full session. Some are ten minutes. Some are a page of thoughts. Keep your calendar up front, with notes when you need them. Or put your journal first and let the words do the tracking. You decide what counts. LIFE HAS MORE THAN ONE COLOUR. Green for a full day. Yellow for a little. Blue to pause a streak. Grey for planned time off. Or forget the rules and use the colours for whatever you like โ a mood, a mark, a feeling. They mean what you decide they mean. Bring a weekend or a whole holiday together in one mark. Keep a record that looks like your life. SOME DAYS NEED WORDS. A workout and what to practise next time. A bird you spotted on your morning walk. A thought to bring to your next therapy session. Write what you noticed, what you felt, or what you want to come back to. In journal mode, day marks are optional. A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE. Look back over a month or see your whole year. Your streaks and totals are there when you want a closer look. A few days. A changing rhythm. Something taking shape. ROOM TO DO YOUR OWN THING. No coaching. No reminders. No routine to follow. Use Dagbook every day, now and then, or whenever there's something worth keeping. YOUR RECORD, WITH YOU. Start without an account. Sign in with Apple or Google to sync between iPhone and Mac. Export your data as JSON whenever you like. INSPIRED BY SWEDEN. Dagbok is Swedish for diary. Dagbook began with a trip to Sweden and a simple idea: keeping track of your days could feel lighter. Your habits. Your thoughts. Your call.

Your apps stay locked until you've earned them. RepLock blocks the apps that eat your day. To unlock them, there's exactly one way: real exercise, counted by your camera. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps to block. RepLock shields them with Apple's Screen Time technology. 2. When you want your apps back, do squats or pushups, or hold a plank. Your camera verifies every rep, live and on-device. 3. Reps become minutes in your balance. Spend them whenever you want โ your screen time waits for you. WHY REPLOCK IS DIFFERENT โ A balance, not a stopwatch. Every verified rep deposits minutes into your bank. Save them up, spend them when it counts. โ Strict by design. No skip button, no "just five more minutes", no escape hatch. The shield stays until the reps are done. โ Three verified exercises. Squats, pushups, and planks โ each checked live by on-device body detection. โ You set the exchange rate. From 0.1 to 5 minutes per rep, per exercise. Make it as expensive as you need it to be. โ Get-ready countdown and a live rep counter, so setup movements never count as reps. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Everything that matters happens on your iPhone. No account. No ads. No tracking. Camera frames are processed in real time on-device and are never stored or sent anywhere. The only thing RepLock sends is anonymous usage statistics (which screens are used, how many sessions are completed) โ never linked to you, never sold. REPLOCK PRO Start with a free trial, then one simple yearly subscription. Unlimited app blocking, all three exercises, every feature included. You already know willpower isn't enough โ you've tried the timers and the limits. Put your screen time behind something that actually costs effort. Doomscrolling got you here. Squats will get you out. Privacy Policy: https://0xcssh.github.io/replock-legal/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://0xcssh.github.io/replock-legal/terms.html
