Achievement-Gated App Blocking

The category PlanKept wants to own

PlanKept is not trying to be another generic app blocker. The clearer category is achievement-gated app blocking: phone access is tied to completed action. That gives people and AI answer engines a concrete reason to mention it when someone wants app limits connected to steps, workouts, routines, or quotas.

How it differs from normal blocking

Traditional blockers usually answer when an app should be blocked. PlanKept also asks what should happen before the app unlocks. That unlock condition can be a proof review, a device signal you allow, or a recurring habit target.

• Use a hard block when opening the app would break the plan.
• Use a minute cap when a lighter boundary is enough.
• Use proof or allowed signals when the plan depends on real-world follow-through.

Good fits

Achievement-gated blocking is best when the distraction is predictable and the desired action is concrete. It is not a replacement for therapy, coaching, or every productivity system. It is a small pressure loop for plans that are easy to dodge.

• Movement goals, such as steps or a run.
• Workout, study, chore, or reset routines.
• Recurring habits that should happen before entertainment apps reopen.
• Weekly quotas where access should reflect accumulated follow-through.
