You open apps before deciding whether you actually want to.
App blocker
An app blocker that makes you pause before the scroll.
Most app blockers only close the door. GrateGuard adds a small behavioral speed bump: complete a private three-gratitude ritual, then open every protected app in one intentional session.

Why it matters
app blocker searches come from a real behavior problem.
Soft app limits are easy to ignore when you are tired or bored.
You want a blocker that feels strict without feeling punitive.
How GrateGuard helps
Block the app, then change the opening moment.
Guard the apps that pull you in
Protect social feeds, video apps, games, browsers, or any app that turns a quick check into a lost hour.
Replace autopilot with a tiny ritual
The gratitude gate asks for three specific things before your protected apps open. It is short enough to repeat and deliberate enough to interrupt habit loops.
Keep sensitive data local
Your selected apps, gratitude entries, streaks, and session history stay on your device. GrateGuard does not require an account.
Setup
A simple flow for intentional app use.
Choose protected apps
Pick the apps you want behind the gate, then update the list as your habits change.
Set a lock window
Use work hours, study blocks, evenings, mornings, or an all-day reset.
Unlock with gratitude
Write three gratitudes for free when you decide a protected app is worth opening. Optional Plus adds voice entry.
