how it works
your webcam is now
your accountability partner.
No cost. No cloud processing. Everything runs locally on your machine — your camera feed never leaves your device.
01 —
open the app & start a session
Set your focus duration. The webcam activates and begins monitoring passively in the background.
02 —
computer vision watches
A local CV model detects phone-shaped objects in frame — in real time, no internet needed.
03 —
you get called out
The moment your phone appears, a loud alert fires. No snoozing. Just accountability.
04 —
session ends, you win
Complete the session phone-free and see your stats. Build the habit over time.
