Break the Cycle
π§ The Doomscrolling Trap
You open Instagram for 5 minutes, and suddenly 2 hours have passed. Your brain feels foggy, but you can't stop.
β³ "I'll Do It Tomorrow"
Procrastination isn't laziness; it's a lack of strict boundaries. Without consequences, "later" becomes "never".
π The YouTube Rabbit Hole
You went to study, but the algorithm recommended a video. Now you are watching a documentary on deep-sea creatures.

Common Questions
Want to know why we beat the competition? Read our Full FAQ & Competitor Comparison.
π What is a "Keyholder"?
A Keyholder is a trusted friend or partner you link your account with. They hold the digital "key" to your distractions. If you hit your limit and want to unlock an app, they receive a notification to approve or deny your request.
π΅οΈ Can my friend see my private data?
Absolutely not. Your privacy is 100% safe. Literal only shares your app usage time and unlock requests with your Keyholder. They cannot see your chats, photos, or browser history.
π¨ What if my friend is busy or sleeping?
Don't panic! We have an "Emergency Glass Break" feature. You can use 100 tokens to force-unlock your phone instantly. However, your Keyholder will get a "Siren" notification that you broke the glass. Accountability never sleeps!
π« Can I just uninstall the app to bypass it?
Nice try! If you enable Uninstall Protection, the app becomes nearly impossible to delete without your Keyholder's permission. Weβve built this to protect you from your own impulsive urges.
πͺ What are Tokens used for?
Tokens are the "currency of commitment." You stake them on goals (like waking up at 5 AM). If you succeed, you keep them. If you fail, they disappear. You can also use them for emergency unlocks.
π± Do we both need to install the app?
Yes. You install it to stay focused, and your friend installs it to act as your Keyholder. One app, two powerful roles.
