Most blockers punish you — you hit a wall, feel guilty, and switch them off. Gemify inverts the loop: Instagram, X and YouTube stay quietly closed by default, and focused work is the only thing that opens them. Run a timer (5/25/50/90 min) to earn gems, then spend them to unlock — 1 gem buys 1 minute, and the door closes itself when time runs out. Gems can never be bought with money. Every gem is proof of focused time. Chrome extension + iPhone app, one shared balance.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 Gemify started from a simple frustration: most blockers punish you. You hit a wall, feel guilty, and eventually switch the thing off — and all it taught you is that you can override it. Gemify spins the loop the other way. Instagram, X and YouTube are closed by default — that's the resting state, not a penalty. Focused work is what opens them: run a timer (5/25/50/90 min), earn gems, spend them to unlock. 1 gem buys 1 minute, and when the time is up the door closes itself. You earn the break by doing the work first. The one rule I won't break: gems cannot be bought. Not with money, not one. Every gem in a balance is proof of focused time — that's the entire point. If you could pay your way past the block, none of it would mean anything. It runs as a Chrome extension and an iPhone app sharing one balance, so gems earned at your desk can be spent on your phone.
