Jolt: Screen Time Control

You know exactly what you should be doing right now. So does your phone - and it's betting you'll check it anyway. Jolt is built for people who are done losing that bet.

KNOW IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY IMPROVING
Most apps tell you what to block. Jolt tells you if blocking is actually working.
Attention Score - New

New One number. Every day. Your Focus, Sleep, and Discipline combined into a single measure of how well your digital life is working together. It rises when all three do. It won't let one good habit carry the weight of two bad ones. Watch it move over 7, 14, 30 days - the direction it goes is the most honest feedback you'll get on whether anything is actually changing.

Discipline Score  - New
The gap between the limits you set and the limits you actually held. Not whether you blocked Instagram - whether you stayed blocked when it counted. Most people who see this number for the first time are surprised by it. That's exactly the point.

Focus Score 
A daily measure of how well you avoided distractions, how deeply you worked during blocked periods, and how close you got to your screen time goals. Not just whether you showed up - whether you stayed.

Sleep Score 
Your last pickup before bed. Your first reach in the morning. How many times you interrupted your own sleep in between. Tracked, scored, and shown back to you every day so you can do something about it.

SET LIMITS THAT ACTUALLY HOLD

Duration Limit 
Set a daily time cap on any app - 30 minutes on Instagram, 20 minutes on YouTube. When it hits, it locks. No snooze, no five more minutes, no exceptions.

Open Limit 
Set a cap on how many times you can open an app each day. Three opens on Twitter. Five on Reddit. Once you've hit the number, it's done - regardless of how long each session was.

Blocking Modes 
Three levels of friction between you and a blocked app. 

Easy: a breathing pause before the app opens - a moment between impulse and action. 
Medium: a mental challenge, rapid taps or a timed reaction. Your brain earns the unlock. 
Hard: nothing gets through. No bypass, no workaround.

Hard Mode 
Set it once. Can't edit it, can't delete it, can't override it until the next day. Your morning self makes the rules. Your evening self lives with them.

FOCUS SESSIONS

Focus Sessions 
Block every distracting app for a set window - deep work block, exam session, meeting hour. 20+ pre-built templates or build your own from scratch. Pick your apps, set your time, start. Everything else disappears until you're done.

Quick Sessions 
One tap. Immediate block. Zero setup. For the moments when you need to focus right now - not after opening a menu, not after configuring anything. Tap once. It starts.

CLOSE EVERY LOOPHOLE

Sleep Schedule 
Set your bedtime and wake-up time. Every distracting app locks for that window automatically. You choose which essentials stay on - everything else is gone until morning, with full tracking of every pickup in between.

Accountability Partner 
A real person - a friend, a partner, a colleague - who sees your screen time and must approve every override you attempt. Not an algorithm. A human being who knows what you're trying to do and will actually push back.

GPS Blocking 
Set your office, library, or gym as a location. The moment you arrive, Jolt activates automatically. No setup, no remembering. The environment does what willpower can't.

Good Apps First 
Use your reading app, your journal, your workout tracker first. Once you do, the distracting apps unlock on their own. Focus becomes the price of entry.

Block 18+
One toggle. Every adult site and app - off.
