Meet the version of you who already made it — and let them guide you there. Future Self turns your goals into a daily plan, then writes to you as the person you're becoming. Not generic quotes. Letters written for the day you're actually having, in the voice you choose. And now, you can write back. WRITE BACK, AND GET AN ANSWER Tell your future self what's hard, what you're proud of, or what you're unsure about. They reply in seconds, in their own voice — and their next letter follows up on it. LETTERS WRITTEN FOR YOU • A letter from your future self any day you need one • A Sunday letter that answers your weekly review • Hear every letter read aloud, at the speed you like • A short version on the theme you need: focus, encouragement, accountability or perspective GOALS THAT SOUND LIKE YOU • Turn "I want to" into "I am" with one tap • Each goal starts with one practice you'll actually keep, with more one tap away • Start with three priorities — more than three is the same as none A DAILY PRACTICE YOU CAN KEEP • Your day as a simple timeline, with a time beside every practice • Reminders at the time you choose, skipped once you've done it • Close each day as a win: three quick questions about what went well, what you learned and how you grew PROOF YOU CAN SEE • A calendar that turns green day by day • Then & Now: what you said on day one, beside everything you've done since • A one-page report from your future self every month — how far you've come, what to let go, and what's next. Share it as an image. A VOICE THAT FITS YOU Tough Love, Wise Sage, Warm Mentor or Best Friend. Your future self speaks the way you need to hear it.

Put your goals before your scrolling. GoodBully treats your phone as a tool. Tell it what you want more of (a language app, reading, exercise) and what you want less of (social media, videos, games, shopping, takeout). Lock yourself out of the bad stuff until you finish the good stuff. HOW IT WORKS • Name your goals and your guilty pleasures. GoodBully groups the apps behind each one. • Set time limits for yourself. • Hit a limit and a shield covers those apps. Personalized messages come at a tone that suits you. • Want in anyway? Be prepared to beat a game, solve a riddle, pick the odd one out, reason through a question, or take a photo of something around you. Tasks change every time, so it never becomes a reflex. • Track streaks and goals, and put your streak on your Home Screen with the widget. THE SHIELD KNOWS THINGS It is not a timer that says "time's up." It knows how many times you have opened the app today, how long you have been in there, what time your limit ran out, and the streak you are three seconds from breaking. It says so. RULES IN PLAIN ENGLISH Build a rule by tapping words: "Weekdays, 9 AM–5 PM, Social apps are locked at Work." Rules can follow the day, the hour, the kind of app, a goal and a place, and you can always see which rules are active. GoodBully notices patterns, like late nights on social apps, and suggests rule improvements you can add with one swipe. A COLLECTION YOU EARN Keep your limits and finish daily, weekly, or monthly challenges to open capsules and collect bullies. You'll have to earn it, we don't do pay-to-win here. CHECK-INS, NOT JUST BLOCKS Halfway through your limit — and again if you are burning through it faster than the day can carry — GoodBully steps in front of the app and tells you where you are. One tap and you are through. GOODBULLY PRO • Goals first: the apps you want less of stay locked until your goals have had their time. The shield tells you which goal is next. • Strict rules: no more "Let me in anyway". • Rules by day, time and place: bedtime, work hours, "at Work". • Focus sessions: lock everything you're avoiding for 15 minutes to two hours, with a countdown on your Lock Screen. • No deleting apps: turn it on and apps can't be deleted, GoodBully included. • Full history: every day on record, not just the last 14. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription, with a 3-day free trial on the monthly plan and a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. The App Store shows the price in your own currency. Cancel any time. YOUR SCREEN TIME STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Which apps you shield, how long you spend in them, and the places you name are read on the device and never sent anywhere. GoodBully has no ads and sells nothing about you. GoodBully uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to shield apps you choose on your own iPhone. It is not a parental-controls app and does not manage anyone else's device.
