## Description

No subscription. No ads. No accounts. Block your dopamine apps until you journal — pay once ($9.99), yours forever. Free to try for two weeks.

Your favorite apps are on pause.

The key? Just 50 characters about your day. Write a quick journal entry, and everything unlocks. Skip it, and YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram stay locked.

Writeblock is not a journaling app. It's a habit engine. We block your dopamine apps every night until you write. No fancy editor — but Markdown, photos, and voice memos come standard. Most people discover they actually enjoy it.

WHAT MAKES WRITEBLOCK DIFFERENT

- Apps stay blocked until you journal — no willpower needed
- 50 characters. That's about 3 sentences. Takes 2 minutes
- Attach photos, record voice memos — no limits
- Markdown formatting, for when you're that kind of person
- No account, no signup — we never see a word you write
- Build a streak — then graduate to any diary app you love
- Export your entries anytime, for free, forever

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick the apps you can't stop opening
2. Set your nightly block time (default: 9 PM)
3. When blocked, write 50 characters to unlock everything
4. Watch your streak grow. Watch your habits change.

YOUR DATA IS YOURS

Your journal entries live on your device — and, with iCloud sync on, in your own private iCloud. They never reach our servers, and with no account, we literally can't read your diary. Export to Markdown anytime — it's always free.

FREE TO START. $9.99 TO UNLOCK FOR GOOD.

Journaling, full diary access, Markdown export, Face ID lock, iCloud sync — free forever. App blocking is free to try for two weeks; unlock it permanently with one $9.99 purchase.

No subscription. No ads. No accounts. Pay once, own it forever.
