How It Works

Simple rules.
Real accountability.

01
Set Your Rules
Ban apps completely or set daily time limits — 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Your rules, your call.
02
Add Friends
Share your friend code and build your Focus Circle — up to 6 people who can see your score and write custom messages for your block screen.
03
Stay on Track
Open a banned app and your score drops. A custom accountability message from your Focus Circle appears on your screen.
04
Build Discipline
Your score climbs throughout a clean day. Stick to your rules, build streaks, and prove to your friends you mean it.

Your Watchdog Score
The Score

Your friends
can see it.

Your Watchdog Score runs from 0 to 100 and updates in real time. It climbs throughout a clean day and drops the moment you open a banned app or exceed your time limit.

Your Focus Circle friends see your score. Accountability works best when it's visible.
