Gratitude Habit Builder

Block the apps that pull you in — and unlock them by naming one thing you're grateful for. Every impulse to scroll becomes a small moment of thanks.

Break the scroll with a moment of thanks.

Gratitude turns the apps that pull you in into a pause. Pick the apps that steal your attention — social media, video, games — and a calm lock screen appears in front of them. To get in, you speak or type one thing you're grateful for. The app opens for the window you chose, then quietly locks itself again.

HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps you want to shield • Open one — a gentle lock appears instead of the feed • Speak or type a gratitude to unlock • Your app opens for the window you set, then re-locks automatically

WHY IT WORKS The urge to open an app is fast and automatic. Putting one small, warm act in the way is enough to break the loop — and instead of feeling policed, you end the day with a page full of things that went right.

A JOURNAL THAT FILLS ITSELF Every unlock adds to your gratitude library. Look back on a hard day and read weeks of small good things you'd otherwise have forgotten.

KEEP YOUR GOALS IN VIEW Build a simple vision board of what you're working toward, so the thing you actually care about is the thing you see first.

WATCH IT GROW A quiet garden grows as you keep your streak — a calm, visual reminder of the habit you're building.

A COACH IN YOUR POCKET Short, gentle reflections when you want a nudge. Runs entirely on your device.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Your gratitudes, goals, and app choices never leave your iPhone. Speech is recognized on-device, and audio is never recorded or uploaded.

Requires Screen Time permission to shield the apps you select.
