It's not the phone. It's the hand.
HackTime detects the movement before you pick up your phone during a
focus session. It doesn't wait for you to open an app to react — it
reacts to the reach, one step earlier.
REMINDS YOU THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO START
If you said you'd start working at 9 and it's 9:41 and you still
haven't opened the app, HackTime tells you. Most focus apps assume
you already sat down to work. This one comes looking for you first.
REAL BLOCKING, WITH ONE CLEAR RULE
You choose which apps to block during your sessions. If you try to
open a blocked app three times, that's when an ad shows up — as a
reminder that you broke the session, not as a way to pay the bills.
If you don't slip, you don't see ads. Ever.
A GARDEN, IF YOU'RE INTO THAT
Every completed session grows something in your garden. It's not the
main point — it's the reward when you're done.
BREAKS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BREAKS
Breathing and stretching exercises between sessions, for whoever
wants them.
HONEST PRICING
$5, one time. No monthly plan, no auto-renewing annual subscription,
no free trial you have to remember to cancel.
WHO IT'S FOR
· For anyone who already tried blocking apps with another app and
kept opening them anyway — because blocking the app doesn't stop
the hand.
· For anyone who sits down to work and forty minutes later has no
idea how they ended up watching a video.
· For anyone who needs something to call them to start, not just
lock them up once they already did.
Not for anyone looking for full screen-time analytics or a whole
habit-tracking system. There are other apps for that, and they're
fine.
Students, professionals, remote workers, and anyone tired of
grabbing their phone without deciding to.
An alarm goes off the moment you pick up your phone without deciding to.
