Features
Read full description

Procrastination Lock helps you focus on one task at a time. Enter your goal, choose distracting apps, and set your focus time from one setup screen. Selected apps are blocked using Apple Screen Time while you work. When you are ready, submit a photo or a short video showing the result. AI-assisted verification checks the evidence against your goal. A timer finishing alone does not mark a task complete. START WITH 3 SUCCESSFUL LOCKS FREE Your first three successfully completed locks are free. An incomplete session or technical recovery does not use one of these successful completions. After all three are used, a weekly or yearly subscription is required to start more locks. CLEAR WAYS TO END A SESSION New users receive three separate free voluntary emergency unlocks. Existing users keep their saved remaining allowance; updating does not reset it. Once that allowance is used, an additional voluntary emergency unlock costs US $0.99 as a one-time purchase in the United States; the app shows the local App Store price elsewhere. An emergency unlock ends the session as incomplete, not as a completed task. If proof verification is unavailable because of a technical problem, you can end the lock for free. This does not require a purchase, use a voluntary emergency unlock, or count as a successful task. SUBSCRIPTIONS Weekly and yearly plans renew automatically unless canceled. Eligible customers can receive a one-week free trial on the yearly plan. Trial eligibility, subscription price, billing period, and renewal terms are shown before purchase. The app displays the current localized price returned by the App Store. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.

About

Groggy

Half-awake scrolling ruins your morning. Groggy puts your tasks first, then gives your distracting apps back. At night, the apps that keep you in bed stay locked. In the morning they unlock only after you complete your tasks and take a photo of each one. Until then, they stay closed. Usual Screen Time blocker apps unlock when the clock says so, even if you are still in bed. Groggy unlocks when your morning tasks are done. Not before. HOW IT WORKS 1. Lock your distracting apps for the night 2. Next morning, finish your tasks (e.g. brush teeth, make bed, drink water, or your own list) 3. Take a photo of each task 4. Your apps unlock You keep the apps. You just earn them back by doing the things you already meant to do. WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT Other blockers stop you by the clock. Groggy unlocks by behavior. No clock end. Real task proof. PRIVATE No account. Your plan stays on your phone. Task photos are checked once and not kept as a gallery. Blocking uses Apple Screen Time on device. An active subscription is required for full access. Privacy: https://getgroggy.com/privacy Terms: https://getgroggy.com/terms Support: support@getgroggy.com
