Block distracting apps until you finish your habits

AnyHabit locks Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other apps behind the habits you actually want to build. Finish a run, meditate, or read. HealthKit verifies it and you earn real screen-time minutes. Gamified with streaks, XP, and achievements. iOS, privacy-first



Hey Product Hunt š I'm Prudhvi, maker of AnyHabit.
The problem: I'd tell myself I'd work out, then "just check Instagram for
5 minutes" and lose an hour. Setting screen time limits didn't work.
I was the one who set them, so I was the one who disabled them.
The insight: willpower fails, systems work. What if the distracting apps
stayed blocked until I actually did the thing I said I'd do?
That's AnyHabit:
⢠Pick habits ā run, meditate, read, sleep, yoga, walk, water.
HealthKit auto-verifies so you can't cheat yourself.
⢠Pick apps to gate ā Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, anything. Uses Apple's
FamilyControls + ManagedSettings so the block is OS-level.
⢠Every completion earns real minutes. Streaks, XP, and 18 achievements
keep it sticky.
It's not a habit tracker. It's not a screen time blocker. It's the only
app I know of that *exchanges* one for the other.
Built 100% native: SwiftUI, SwiftData, HealthKit, DeviceActivity, iOS 26.
Privacy-first. Everything stays on-device, no accounts, no analytics
selling your data.
Free with 5 habits + 1 gated app. Premium unlocks unlimited habits, apps,
and premium achievements.
I'd love feedback on two things:
1. Onboarding ā does the concept land in the first 60 seconds?
2. The reward economy ā habits currently earn 5ā60 min. Too generous?
Too stingy?
And I'm genuinely curious: what habit would *you* trade for TikTok time? And what other integrations would you want included?
