Grounded: alarm to screen lock

Stop mindlessly opening apps. We are maxing the amount of friction from what pulls you in, and beat a challenge to get through. Wake up on time, too. 100% on-device.

Take back your focus.
• Grounded puts a barrier in front of the apps that pull you in. When you reach for Instagram, TikTok, or whatever steals your hours, Grounded stops you with a shield — and the only way through is to beat a quick challenge first. That tiny pause is usually all it takes to put the phone back down.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps you want to block
• Block them all the time, or only during set hours each day
• Open a blocked app and Grounded shows a shield
• Beat a challenge to earn a short window of access
• When time's up, the apps re-block automatically

THE MORE YOU OPEN, THE HARDER IT GETS
Every time you come back, the challenge gets tougher — so impulse-checking actually costs you something.

CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
• Math — solve quick arithmetic
• Color memory — memorize and tap the tiles
• Phrase recall — find the missing word
• Squats — do real reps in front of the camera
• Step it out — get up and walk it off
• Surprise me — a random challenge each time

WAKE UP GROUNDED
Set an alarm you can only silence by completing a challenge. Do squats, walk it out, or solve math to shut it off — no more snoozing your way through the morning.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
Track how many times you resisted, how often you gave in, and which challenges keep you honest.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Grounded runs entirely on your device using Apple's Screen Time framework. It never sees what you do inside your apps, and nothing
leaves your phone.

LIVE ACTIVITIES

Less doomscrolling. Better mornings. Get grounded.

Accessibility Service disclosure

Grounded uses Android's AccessibilityService API to provide its core app-blocking feature. The service is used solely to detect when you open an app that you have chosen to block, so that Grounded can show a blocking screen over it. Grounded does not read, collect, or store any screen content, personal data, or information from other apps through this service — it only receives app-switch (window change) events. The service is optional and only activated after you explicitly enable it and grant permission in Android Settings.
