Nothing is given · screen time is earned

Tethered gives the apps that pull you in a fair daily allowance. When it runs out, the block is real — and every extra minute is earned, through focus, movement, and sleep.

Every blocker I tried, I'd delete within a week. Tethered is the first one that made me want to open my phone less — because I could feel the streak I was building.

Every other blocker had a back door, and I always found it. Tethered doesn't. When my time's up, it's up — and earning minutes back through a focus session beats arguing with a popup.

My phone use is finally tied to my gym goals instead of fighting them. I've gone from three workouts a month to three a week just to keep my streak alive.
