Store description excerpt
Your apps stay locked until you actually do it. HOW IT WORKS Tag it. Scan an NFC tag or sticker once to register it in Helpfl, give it a name, then leave it where the habit actually happens — on the mirror, the pill bottle, the gym bag. They're passive, so there's no battery and nothing to charge. Set the rule. Pick a time and choose which apps to block — Instagram, TikTok, the news, whatever you reach for instead. Tap to unlock. Your apps shield themselves at the due time and stay that way until you walk over and scan. Then they're yours again. YOUR TAG CAN ARRIVE LATER You don't have to wait on your tags to arrive. Set up your first habit the day you install Helpfl and finish it with a button for five days — the blocking is real the whole time, only the key is different. Register your tag when it turns up and it takes over the habit you already built. If the five days run out first, that habit pauses instead, and your streak is kept. REAL BLOCKING, NOT A REMINDER Helpfl uses Apple's own Screen Time framework, so a blocked app is genuinely blocked — not a notification you can swipe away. Everything runs on your device. Helpfl never sees which apps you open. BUILT FOR THE DAYS YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT A 60-minute head start — the hour before a routine is due, everything stays open. Finish early and nothing ever locks. Streak freezes — one bad day shouldn't erase two months. Spend a freeze and the streak survives, honestly labelled. Time Extenders — stuck in a meeting when the lock lands? Buy yourself ten more minutes without breaking the habit. Live Activities — the countdown lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so the deadline is never a surprise. Apple Watch — the countdown, the freeze and the Time Extender all live on your wrist. Your phone still does the enforcing. Cloud sync — streaks, tags and history back themselves up, so a new iPhone doesn't cost you your record. HABITS AND ONE-OFF TASKS Recurring routines get streaks and freezes. One-time tasks get a deadline. Both can lock your apps — or you can leave a task unarmed and let it behave like an ordinary reminder. A TAG FOR EVERY HABIT Name each tag, give it a colour and an icon, and that colour follows the habit everywhere — the home screen, the streak grid, the charts. One glance tells you which part of your day slipped. SEE THE HOURS YOU WIN BACK Every lock that held is time you spent somewhere else. Helpfl adds it up — by day, by habit, by tag — so the payoff is a number and not a feeling. CAN'T YOU JUST CHEAT IT? You can, and deliberately not easily. The emergency bypass makes you type out a paragraph acknowledging what you're doing, then records the routine as bypassed rather than done. It's there for the day you're genuinely stuck, not the day you don't feel like it. TAGS Any standard NFC tag or sticker works — a sticker for the flat surfaces, a tag for everywhere else. Helpfl links to a pack from inside the app if you'd rather not go looking. Scannin
