1. Block addictive apps and websites 2. Describe in >= 30 words why you need access 3. Claude judges your reason against your schedule and upcoming deadlines. Valid reason --> Access "I'm bored" --> Reflect why. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Every blocker fails the same way: you turn it off. Kael doesn't give you that switch. Tap a blocked app and it asks one thing — why? An AI weighs your reason against your actual day — deadlines, schedule, time, where you are — and either grants a short, timed pass or tells you to sit with it a moment. Good reason → a few minutes, then the block comes back on its own. Weak reason → denied, with a quick reflection instead. No willpower. No gaming the timer. Just honest friction, right when you reach for your phone. It adjusts on its own. Strict during class, work, and deadline crunches. Looser once the day's done. You never fiddle with a strictness dial — Kael reads the moment. Built for people with deadlines Sync Apple & Google Calendar — Kael tightens as due dates close in Draw a zone around your library or desk; it activates when you arrive Daily to-dos it remembers and brings up when you start to wander A morning briefing that plans your day Real breaks — scheduled, and earned with a quick note on what they're for Stay honest together Add friends, form groups, and climb streak leaderboards. See your patterns Every unlock is logged — what you asked for, what you said, what you got. Learn when you actually crack, and let Kael guard those hours harder. Kael Pro unlocks breaks, deadline tracking, advanced scheduling, and more. Private by design: blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time, your location never leaves your phone, and your reasons are judged in the moment — never used to profile you. Stop negotiating with yourself. Let Kael do it. Kael Pro does include an auto-renewable subscription. • Kael Pro Monthly — $7.99 per month (1 week free trial) • Kael Pro Yearly — $89.99 per year (2 weeks free trial) Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
