STOP NEGOTIATING WITH YOURSELF. Most habit apps optimize for comfort, flexibility, and forgiveness. HABITSS optimizes for commitment. It is not just a habit tracker; it is a discipline enforcement system designed for high-performers. It blocks your distractions until the work is done. THE DISCIPLINE GATE HABITSS enforces behavior by controlling access to distracting apps. Select the apps that steal your focus—social media, games, infinite feeds—and they stay locked until every habit and task you set for the day is complete. Priority first. Dopamine later. WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT We've removed the gimmicks that make users complacent: No Streaks: Your value isn't a number. Either you do the work today, or you don't. No Gamification: We treat you like an adult, not a child playing a game. No Slack: The focus lock holds until the work is done. No tricks, no shortcut to skip the day. CORE FEATURES Focus Control: Seamless Screen Time integration to lock distractions until you've earned them. Habits: A minimalist daily grid for the commitments you hold yourself to. No tiers, no special cases—every habit carries the same weight. Swipe to pin, rename, or delete. Tasks: One-time to-dos for the things that just need to get done. Like habits, they hold the gate shut until they're checked off. A Moment to Reflect: Before you delete a habit, open a blocked app, or wipe everything clean, HABITSS gives you a moment to think—a few plain questions to tell a real decision from a passing impulse. Not to stop you. The choice is always yours; it just won't be a reflex. Sleep Focus: Automatically re-locks your distractions one hour before bedtime, so your nights wind down instead of disappearing into the feed. Radical Clarity: A serious, intentional, and premium design—built to get out of your way. TARGET USER HABITSS is built for ambitious individuals: builders, students, gym-focused people, and anyone tired of mindless scrolling. Don't delete your favorite apps—control exactly when you are allowed to use them. Terms of Use: https://habitssapp.vercel.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://habitssapp.vercel.app/privacy

Motivation is a feeling. Feelings change. Every morning you decide again whether today counts. Stoic removes the decision. Your phone was built by people who are very good at their job. Their job is your attention. You will not win that fight with willpower, you win it with rules you set once and cannot renegotiate at 11pm. THE FOCUS ECONOMY Nothing is free. Focus banks credits, minute by minute. Credits are the only currency that unlocks a distracting app. Want ten minutes of scrolling? Earn it first. MONK MODE Days, not sessions. Commit to a stretch and the exits close behind you. THE MORNING GATE An alarm you cannot dismiss with your thumb. Solve it, say it out loud, or move. Then the day starts. HARDCORE Put real money on it. Oversleep and you lose it. Nothing concentrates the mind like a stake you actually feel. APP BLOCKING Screen Time, enforced. Not a reminder. Not a nudge. THE ROADMAP Your mission for the year and the person you refuse to become. written down, in front of you, daily. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR People looking for another dashboard. Stoic is not gentle and it does not negotiate. If you want to be reminded, use a reminder app. If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice. Beat the algorithm. Stoic+ subscription required App blocking, focus sessions, streaks and the leaderboard require a Stoic+ subscription (auto-renewing, yearly with a free trial, or weekly). The exact price is always shown in the app before purchase. Cancel anytime in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
