Willpower alone isn't enough to beat today’s algorithms. The endless scroll is engineered to win, and solo screen time blockers are too easy to turn off when temptation strikes. Whether you are a couple looking to reclaim your evenings or a friend group fighting doomscrolling together, your room shares a single, finite time asset allocation. Pairs & Squads: Create a room for 2 partners or scale up to a 5-person squad. Unified Depletion: Every minute spent by any member on a restricted app draws down from the exact same master balance. Mutual Blackout: The second the shared pool hits zero, selected apps go down for everyone in the room. If your friend burns the final minutes on a midday scroll, you get locked out too. Turn your collective discipline into virtual currency. Every 10 minutes your lobby successfully leaves untouched at the end of the day is converted into Webucks deposited directly into your shared Vault. Use your collective wealth in the internal Shop to unlock visual status symbols and customize the experience, such as app icons, leaderboard colors and custom text for your shield. *Note: Coins are purely internal cosmetic features with absolute non-monetary value. They cannot be purchased with real money and can only be earned through real focus. The app only requires 1 subscription, from the one who creates the lobby. Once the room host activates a subscription, up to 4 of their friends can join the workspace and participate in the shared pool completely free of charge. Weekly: $3.99 Annual: $29.99 Please Note: All app features require a subscription to host or initialize a shared room configuration. Learn more at https://welimit.co/terms
