Do It First is an iPhone app blocker that locks Instagram, TikTok or any app you choose at a set time until you finish a real task you planned — read 10 pages, study 30 minutes, go for a run — and confirm it with a photo. Every mission earns XP, keeps your streak, unlocks medals and evolves a pixel-art companion through five worlds. Built on Apple Screen Time, no account, your data stays on your iPhone. Free to start; Pro adds up to 10 protected missions.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Do It First because I kept opening Instagram "for a minute" before the things I actually wanted to do, and losing the evening.
Screen Time limits never worked for me: they count minutes, and "Ignore Limit" is one tap away. So I flipped the rule. You pick one real mission — read 10 pages at 8:00, study 30 minutes, go for a run — and the apps you choose stay locked until it's done and confirmed with a photo.
To make the habit stick, every mission feeds a small pixel-art adventure: XP, streaks, medals, five worlds and a companion (boy or girl) that evolves from Rookie to Legend.
A few things I cared about:
No account. Missions, photos and progress stay on your iPhone.
Built on Apple's Screen Time API, so the block is the real iOS Shield.
Breaks and emergency access exist — it's a habit tool, not a prison.
English, Portuguese and Spanish.
Free covers one protected mission and the whole adventure; Pro adds up to 10 missions and custom schedules.
I'd love your honest feedback — especially: what would you lock, and what would you do first?
