BLUR is your drunk self's worst nightmare. Before you head out, lock the apps you don't trust drunk-you with. Texts to your ex, 2am online shopping, posting things you'll regret, all gone. Try to open a blocked app during the night and BLUR throws up a shield and makes you pass a sobriety challenge to get in.

Scan your face during the night and BLUR rates how gone you are, 0โ100. Do it a few times, the progression tells the whole story. THE MORNING REPORT A full recap of your night: how long you lasted, how many times you tried to open Instagram (we counted), your funniest failed puzzle answers, your drunk score, and the photos you took. Built to send to the group chat. STAY SAFE โข One-tap emergency call โข Emergency contact + curfew alerts โข Drop a pin so you remember where you ended up BLUR+ Unlock everything: Impossible Mode (the lock that actually holds), custom app blocking, premium share cards, home screen widget, and your full Blurred history.
