BossMode - The focus app that shows your mom when you procrastinate

Every other focus app shows you a quiet block page and asks you to breathe. BossMode fullscreens someone you're genuinely scared of — your mom, your boss, a crying child — the second you open Instagram during work hours. You get a shame counter, escalating lockout timers, dramatic sound effects, and a brutal end-of-day roast notification. Free to install. $6.99 once to unlock your own photos/videos, all 5 character packs, and the full shame experience. No subscription. Shame is forever.

Hey PH! 👋 I'm Sudarshan, built this because every productivity app I tried was too polite. Cold Turkey shows a calm page. Freedom plays zen music. I needed someone to look me in the eye and make me feel bad. So I uploaded my mom's photo. I got caught opening Instagram 11 times in one day. I closed the tab every single time — because I couldn't handle the stare. BossMode is free to install. Pro is $6.99 once — no subscription, no renewal, just permanent accountability. There's also a Viral Refund: post a Reel of your reaction getting caught, hit 2K views = 50% back, 20K views = full refund. Your embarrassment is the marketing budget. Happy to answer anything — roast me in the comments, I can take it. 😅
