You scroll. You don't think. Now: Your phone is the easy escape. When work gets hard. When you're bored. When you're avoiding something. You reach for your phone out of instinct. After Stackwall: You tap a distracting app, Stacky opens instead. You tell him what's happening. He helps you pause, rethink the moment, and choose what to do next. [HOW IT WORKS] Block distracting apps. When you open one, Stackwall opens instead. Chat with Stacky AI about the moment. He responds to what you tell him and offers swipeable cards based on your needs. Cards can be better self-talk, affirmations, steps to focus on your goal/task, or ideas for something better to do. When a card fits, keep it, edit it, save it for later, or record it in your own voice. Then tap through cards, play a game, or use the timer for a focus session. Each tap, game, and session earns time. Spend your earned time to unlock your apps. They lock again when the time runs out. Stacky sets daily spend limits, so even if you earn a lot, you can only spend so much time every day. [THE 24-HOUR RULE] Set your blocking rules while you're calm. Changes to blocked apps, categories, earn rates, and unlock limits take 24 hours to apply. An urge cannot change them in the moment. [FEATURES] - Block selected apps and categories with Screen Time - Chat with Stacky, an interactive AI guide - Swipe through cards for self-talk, focus, and next steps - Edit, save, favorite, and organize phrases - Record phrases in your own voice - Play voice recordings while you tap or use the timer - Earn time with taps, games, and timer sessions - Spend earned time in temporary unlock passes - Set an optional hard daily unlock limit - Track streaks, daily goals, activity, and brick wall progress - Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Start without an email or account [WHO IT'S FOR] • You reach for your phone when work gets hard, boring, or uncomfortable • You bypass the limits you set the same day • You want app blocking that requires effort, not just another timer • You want a hard daily ceiling, not only friction • You want something to do instead of doomscrolling • You want to get back to what you meant to do • You want access to be a choice, not a reflex Terms of Use (EULA): [https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) Privacy Policy: [https://www.stackwall.app/privacy](https://www.stackwall.app/privacy)

Lilypad helps parents manage screen time without turning every device request into a battle. A subscription is required to access Lilypad’s features. Parents create tasks, set how much screen time each task unlocks, and choose which apps to limit. Family members complete tasks, enter the auto-generated passcode, and unlock screen time for the selected duration. Designed for calmer routines: • Create everyday tasks like brushing teeth, reading, homework, tidying up, or getting ready for bed • Set unlock durations between 15 minutes and 2 hours • Limit apps using Apple’s Family Controls • View active screen time countdowns • Works offline once set up • Supports Apple Family Sharing Private by design: Lilypad stores family tasks, passcodes, app selections, and unlock states locally on your device. The app does not track app activity, searches, browsing history, or personal content. Lilypad is for parents who want screen time to feel less like punishment and more like a reward.
