I’m working on an iphone app to fight my screen time addiction. You pick the apps you want to block, set a timer for how long you want to stay focused for, and lastly you set a pledge.

A pledge is the price you’ll pay for breaking your pledge. It’s more than one second of reflection. You have to ask yourself “do i want to spend a $1 to use YouTube when i should be studying”?

I don’t have a website right now. I’m calling it FocusPledge. It’s near complete so if you’re curious you can shoot me a message or follow me on X at @harveenatwal_
