CTRL vs Dawnlock

CTRL is a focus timer, app blocker, and habit builder in one. The rule is simple: you earn credits by focusing, and you spend them to open the apps that steal your hours. Run out, and the scroll stops until you put in the work. It turns willpower into an economy so you don't have to rely on willpower at all. WHY CTRL WORKS WHEN OTHER FOCUS APPS DON'T Most productivity and screen time apps just block apps and hope you don't switch them off. CTRL doesn't fight your dopamine it puts a price on it. Every distraction costs credits you can only earn through real focused work. That's what makes the habit stick. FOCUS TO EARN • Run focus sessions (25, 50, or 90 minutes) and bank credits • Keep your phone face-down during a session for a +50% bonus • Longer, distraction-free deep work pays the most • Build a daily focus habit and track your time like a pro BLOCK THE APPS THAT EAT YOUR TIME • Shield TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X and more using Apple Screen Time • Block distracting websites too, so Safari can't reopen the same feeds (Pro) • The most addictive apps cost the most credits to open PAY TO OPEN — EVERY TIME • Before a blocked app opens, CTRL asks why and charges you credits • Every "I'm bored" tap is logged, so you get a real distraction tracker for your worst habits • See your triggers and take back control of your attention RECOVERY MODE FOR THE HARD DAYS • Binge patterns automatically trigger a fairer economy: earn more, spend less • Miss a day and a freeze covers your streak — built to catch the spiral, not punish it HONEST BY DESIGN • Credits are earned by focusing never bought with money • Your Screen Time data never leaves your device. CTRL can't see which apps you use. • No ads. No tracking. No account or login required. MADE FOR Anyone fighting phone addiction, doomscrolling, and procrastination students, founders, writers, remote workers, and anyone who wants focus, productivity, and self-control on their own terms. A focus app, app blocker, screen time limiter, distraction blocker, and habit tracker rolled into one.

Snooze, scroll, late. Dawnlock breaks the loop. Dawnlock is a real alarm clock. It rings through Silent mode and Focus, on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch, even when the app is closed. To turn it off, you do a short wake-up mission. Until you do, your most distracting apps stay locked. WAKE-UP MISSIONS • Math: solve a few problems (easy, medium or hard) • Type it out: type a line exactly. Hard to fake half-asleep. • Scan a code: register your toothpaste or coffee, then walk over and scan it • Shake: shake your phone until the bar fills • Walk: get up and take real steps • Photo: snap the same spot you picked, like the bathroom sink • Memory: remember the tiles that lit up NO SLEEPING THROUGH IT • Swipe the alarm away, or hit the volume or power button, and it rings again, louder each time • Stop never turns it off: it rings again a minute later until you do the mission (add a few snoozes if you want them) • Wake-up check: a few minutes after your mission, confirm you're still up • Can't do a mission right now? Switch to a backup. You're never stuck. APPS STAY LOCKED TILL YOU'RE UP Pick the apps you scroll in bed. They lock at bedtime or when the alarm rings, and unlock when your mission is done. It always unlocks after your safety window, no matter what. NEVER MISS A MEETING • Real alarms before your calls, with a Join button for Zoom, Meet and Teams • Smart wake: rings earlier when your first meeting is early AND • Quick naps with a Lock Screen countdown • Gentle sounds that build up, and loud ones for heavy sleepers • Streaks and insights on how fast you really get up • Widgets, and Siri: "Start a nap in Dawnlock" • Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking. Your alarms, calendar and photos never leave your iPhone. Dawnlock is free to download, and using it needs Dawnlock Pro: unlimited alarms and naps, all seven missions, the app lock every morning with Strict mode, the wake-up check, meeting alarms, smart wake and full history. Pro is $3.99 a month or $19.99 a year (the yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial), and renews automatically until cancelled in Settings.
