## Description

Sohl locks the apps that eat your time, like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and helps you earn that time back by doing real things.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br>• Pick the apps to lock. When one opens, Sohl steps in first with your own reason and a short breathing pause.<br>• Earn minutes by doing real things: homework, chores, time outside. Tap a task when it&#39;s done, and your Keyholder approves it.<br>• Spend minutes to unlock. 15 minutes buys 15 minutes in a locked app. When the time&#39;s up, it locks again.<br>• Watch your tree grow. It grows every day you stay with Sohl. It never shrinks, and it never dies on a bad day.<br><br>THE KEYHOLDER<br>Someone else holds a 4-digit PIN: a parent, a friend or a partner. That way the rules can&#39;t be switched off in a weak moment.<br><br>PRIVATE BY DESIGN<br>Everything stays on your phone. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Sohl never reads your messages, takes screenshots or tracks your location.<br><br>PERMISSIONS<br>Sohl uses Usage access to see which app is open, and &quot;display over other apps&quot; to show its reminder screen. Nothing else.<br><br>Sohl Pro is an optional subscription sold through Google Play.
