I'm a solo dev building Indistractable, an iPhone blocker, ending a session early means scanning a QR code you've physically hidden, or on the strictest tier, getting your accountability partner's sign-off from their phone. Mine is my wife. It's humbling.
Here's what I keep wrestling with: every blocker ultimately runs on trust. So for people who've tried blockers and bounced off, what broke the trust? Too easy to bypass, so it felt pointless? Or too strict, so you never dared use the strict mode at all?
We launch here on the 15th, and honest answers will genuinely shape the defaults.
Lock your iPhone into a focus session with no ignore button. To quit early: scan a QR code you hid across the room, tap an NFC tag,get your accountability partner's approval, or spend a limited emergency unlock. Quitting is always possible but never accidental.
I m the @Product Hunt CEO, I ve launched 7 times on PH, and helped countless friends prep their launches. The most common mistake I see is a confusing tagline. Launching on Product Hunt soon? Tell me your tagline and I ll fix it for you :)
