A hard, system-wide blocker first — with an optional loop that pays you back for real-world action.
When you're locked out, you're locked out
Set an app to block and Tethered means it: no snooze, no soft reminders, no easy override. Session blocks can't be deleted around, Strict Blocks can't be overridden at all, and there's exactly one emergency override per week. The wall is the product.
Rules & Sessions
Work Focus, Sleep, Study — recurring sessions shield your distracting apps automatically, on your schedule.
Earn extra minutes — if you want
An optional loop: a focus session, a workout synced from Apple Health, a good night's sleep — real actions bank real minutes. Skip it and Tethered is a pure blocker.
Hold to Leave
Wind up the retro clock for a one-off block. Leaving early takes a long, deliberate hold — friction that keeps you honest.
Screen Time Score
One honest number, an hour-by-hour graph, and your top apps — where your day actually goes.
