Your apps are designed to be hard to put down. Regen flips that on its head: the apps that distract you stay locked until you do something that's actually good for you: study. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that pull you in: social media, games, whatever derails your day. Set the hours you want to stay focused. During those hours, those apps are locked. To open them, Regen shows you a few flashcards. Get enough right and your apps unlock. Miss, and you can try again or spend your one emergency unlock for the day. Five minutes of studying before each scroll adds up fast. Over a week, that's real learning instead of a feed you won't remember. EARN YOUR SCROLL TIME WITH SCROLL COINS Every card you get right earns Scroll Coins. Those coins are your currency for the apps you love. Want ten minutes on your feed? Spend the coins you earned by studying. Run out, and it's time to learn a little more. Your attention finally has a price, and you're the one who sets it. FOCUS TIMER Need to lock in? Start a Pomodoro-style focus session and Regen keeps your distractions sealed while you work. Study, write, or get through your to-do list in focused blocks, then take a real break you've earned. STUDY WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT Tell Regen what you want to learn and it builds personalized decks of cards for you. Languages, science, history, exam prep: your unlocks teach you something worth keeping. BUILD A STREAK Every day you study keeps your streak alive. Evening reminders nudge you before you break it. Watch the number climb and you'll find yourself reaching for your cards instead of your feed. WHY REGEN WORKS It puts a small, useful task between you and your distractions The friction is just enough to break the autopilot scroll You earn your scroll time instead of losing hours to it You end the day having learned something instead of losing an hour Your focus schedule runs automatically, so you only set it once FOCUS SCHEDULES Set custom blocks like "Study Time" on weekday afternoons or "Evening Focus" after 6 PM. Distracting apps stay locked during those windows until you earn them back. Regen uses Apple's Screen Time to block apps privately and securely on your device. Take back your attention. Start your streak today. Terms of use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Take Control of Your Screen Time Ever opened an app for 5 minutes... and then realized 30 minutes were gone? Ever tried to study, work, or sleep, but your just opened the same distracting app again? Or maybe there are private apps you do not want others to open easily. Lockit helps you pause before opening an app. It does not try to stop you from using your phone forever. It simply adds one small step before access. First, protect the apps you want to manage. Then, when you want to open one, Lockit can ask you to finish a small task first. It could be a math question. It could be a simple checklist you create yourself: Drink water. Review 5 words. Clean your desk. Finish today’s first task. After the task is done, you get temporary access. When time is up, the app is locked again. This helps you ask: Do I really want to open this right now? Can I do one better thing first? Lockit is useful when: You want to focus while studying. You want fewer phone breaks while working. You want to use your phone less before bed. You want to hide and protect private apps. Your child wants to play on the phone, and you want them to answer questions before unlocking apps. This way, learning and entertainment can stay in balance. Less impulse. More focus. One small pause before the next app. Privacy is simple too: Lockit does not read content from your managed apps. Your settings, tasks, and progress stay on your device. Passwords are stored securely using Apple’s Keychain. Biometric authentication is handled by iOS.
