If you reach for a blocked app mid-session, ClarityClock steps in and reminds you of the commitment you made to yourself. RESCUE ME Already spiraling in a distracting app? Trigger Rescue Me and ClarityClock steps in after a few minutes to pull you back out of the doomscroll. THE FOCUS MAP Every session moves you forward on a journey of themed chapters.

Kedge makes your phone boring for a while. That is the whole trick. Pick the apps that get you. Choose when they are shut. When you reach for one anyway, Kedge is already in the way. WHAT IT DOES Block on demand. Start a block for fifteen minutes, two hours, or until you end it yourself. Block on a schedule. Mornings until ten. Evenings after nine. It arms itself and runs with Kedge closed. Block after a daily limit. Give yourself an hour of something. When the hour is gone, so is the app, until tomorrow. THREE LEVELS OF FRICTION The point of Kedge is not that blocking is impossible. It is that leaving early costs something. Gentle — unlock one app for five minutes from the block screen, as often as you like. For when you actually did need the thing. Firm — a sixty-second wait, then the block ends. Three times a day. Strict — type forty random characters, exactly. Once a day. Strict can also stop the app being deleted while a block is running. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sign-up. No email address. Nothing leaves your phone. Kedge cannot see which apps you chose — iOS never tells it. It knows how many, and nothing else. No streak guilt, no notifications nagging you, no leaderboard, no coach. No invented numbers. Kedge only shows you what it can actually measure. Time held is time a block was genuinely up. A day counts towards your streak when a block ran to the end and nothing was unlocked early. If it cannot be counted honestly, it is not on the screen. FREE AND PRO The free plan is a working app, not a trial. One profile, started by hand, at Gentle, with the last seven days of history. It does not expire. Pro adds as many profiles as you want, blocks that arm themselves on a schedule or a daily limit, the Firm and Strict friction levels, and your full history by week.
