BrainPass vs NumLock

Before you scroll, think. Your brain is the password. BrainPass helps you stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. Choose the apps that pull you in, and BrainPass blocks them until you complete a quick brain challenge. Here is how it works: 1. Choose the apps you want to interrupt. 2. Try to open one of them. 3. BrainPass gives you a fast brain challenge. 4. Answer correctly to unlock the app for a short session. 5. When the timer ends, the block comes back automatically. BrainPass is designed to add a moment of intention, not shame. Instead of asking you to rely on willpower every time, it creates a small pause between impulse and action. Challenge types include: - color challenges - memory sequences - mental math - riddles - word meaning challenges You can use BrainPass to: - block social media and other distracting apps - reduce mindless scrolling - make app opens feel more intentional - track streaks, challenge progress, screen time, pickups, and brain state trends - choose how long apps stay unlocked before BrainPass blocks them again Why people like BrainPass: - fast setup - quick challenges that fit real phone use - temporary unlocks instead of all-or-nothing blocking - built on Apple's Screen Time framework - no VPN required Important: BrainPass is built for people who want to manage their own screen time and habits. It is not a parental control app. Setup requires Screen Time permission and notifications so BrainPass can guide you from the block screen into the unlock challenge. If you want your phone to ask for a little intention before the next scroll session, BrainPass is built for that. ------------------------------------------------------------ Privacy Policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQBn2i6VC4rjkeuwryXvxobuDc_fWd1gR4DHkVcgNwJQaerVPMOKCgOSCVftTFb7MZcN2Or1HcrpEif/pub Terms: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSAnM9zSu7bxhc_DwM4eRd6UdTTkYbLr90u1GumYqNwjJBsUZgQ3h9IF83HR-GsyVjjN0HH8KwKqCTo/pub

Your phone unlocks over 150 times a day. What if each unlock made you smarter? NumLock turns your screen time into brain time. Before you can open your blocked apps, solve a set of mental math problems. It takes seconds, keeps your mind sharp, and adds just enough friction to break the mindless scrolling habit. HOW IT WORKS Choose which apps to block. When you try to open one, NumLock presents math problems you solve on a number pad. Get them all right and your apps unlock for your chosen grace period. Simple, fast, and surprisingly satisfying. ADAPTIVE DIFFICULTY NumLock starts easy and gets harder as you improve. The 25-level system tracks your accuracy and speed, automatically adjusting to keep you challenged. Start with basic addition. Work your way up to multi-step equations, percentages, and large multiplication. You'll be amazed how fast your mental math improves. GRACE PERIODS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE After solving, your apps stay unlocked for a window you choose — 5 minutes for a quick check, 30 minutes for a balanced session, 1 hour for extended use, or until midnight for a full day off. When time's up, the lock comes back automatically. STREAKS AND STATS Build a daily streak by solving at least one session per day. Track your accuracy, average solve time, current level, and total problems solved. Watch yourself get faster and sharper over time. Your best streak is always recorded — can you beat it? DESIGNED FOR ADULTS NumLock isn't a parental control. It's a tool for people who want to take back control of their own screen time while training their brain. Think of it as a gym membership for your mind that activates every time you reach for a distraction.
