How it works

Three steps. No soft loopholes.

Bounty is not another delay screen. It is a standing rule: blocked first, unlocked only after the work is done.

  1. 01

    Block the apps that cost you hours

    Pick the apps you want to stop opening on impulse. Bounty treats them as blocked unless you have earned access.

  2. 02

    Set a bounty while your self-control is intact

    Define the real-world task that unlocks access: a workout, a study session, a chore, or a partner-verified claim.

  3. 03

    Unlock only after the work is done

    No easy bypass. No “ignore limit” button. You either do the work or the apps stay blocked.

Why Bounty exists

Filed rationale

Friction is not the same as enforcement.

Time limits, pauses, and willpower all fail in the exact moment they matter most. Bounty changes the default: access is not free anymore.

What usually happens

Soft friction, then surrender.

Existing tools give the user a soft delay, a daily limit, or a schedule they can work around.

What Bounty changes

Release follows proof.

Apps stay blocked until the user completes a bounty. The unlock feels earned because it actually was.
