What Monk does

Discipline that actually sticks

Not another timer you ignore. Monk puts a real wall between you and the scroll — and makes you earn your way back.

Lock the time-stealers

Pick the apps that eat your day. The Shield blocks them — so the easy dopamine is one wall further away.

Earn your time back

Do real acts — push-ups, self-care, reading — to mint coins. 1 coin = 1 minute of unlocked time. You buy back your own screen time.

Watch your brain recover

A personalized 90-day recovery plan with dopamine and focus projections, so you can see the calm coming.

Stay accountable

Climb the ranks, hold your streaks, and track every step of your progress. Momentum you can feel.

How it works

Three steps to your time

Simple by design. The friction is the point.

Lock the apps

Choose the apps that steal your time. Monk's Shield blocks them until you've earned your way in.

Earn coins

Do real acts — push-ups, self-care, reading. Each one mints coins. Effort in the real world, time on the phone.

Spend when it counts

Cash coins in for unlocked minutes when you actually need them — not by reflex, by choice.

A coin marked with a clock

1 coin = 1 minute. Your screen time stops being free. It becomes something you choose to earn.
