The problem isn't you.

Apps are designed to keep you scrolling. You unlock "just for 5 minutes." Forty minutes disappear. Every app-based blocker ends the same way, because the off switch is on the device that's pulling you in.

What makes Shift different

You can't just hit "Ignore Limit." With every other solution, the key that re-enables distractions is already in your hand.

  • Screen Time limits ⊗ Easy to ignore.
  • Deleting apps ⊗ Easy to reinstall.
  • Grayscale mode ⊗ Easy to undo.

Shift lets you leave that key in another room. Getting past it costs you a walk, and by the time you've made the walk you've usually changed your mind.

  160 in the resistance.

Skeptical a 200 zl device would change anything. Three weeks later I'm reading books again. Worth 10x the price.

Kamil, 30

The best tool for a deep focus.

Max, 29

Deep work sessions went from 20 minutes to 2+ hours. I'm shocked at how much time was being stolen from me every day.

Oleksii, 31

I find it much easier to stay focused at work and have a better daily rhythm. One of the few purchases that actually changed a habit.

Damian, 27

Before this, I checked my phone every 2 minutes. Now I forget where it is. My output at work doubled in the first week.

Frequently asked questions

The product

Why pay for this when Apple Screen Time is free?

Because free hasn't worked for you yet. Screen Time limits are easy to bypass — tap Ignore and you're back in. Shift creates physical separation. Unlocking needs the puck, which means getting up, which means you usually change your mind on the way.

Why use a physical Shift? What's special about it?

The lock lives outside the phone. An app can be deleted and a setting can be changed, but a puck in another room can't be talked out of anything.

Won't I just leave it next to my phone?

Some people do at first. Then they notice they're tapping it off six times an evening and it ends up in the kitchen.

Can't I just delete the app?

Turn on strict mode and you can't delete the app or change the mode during a block.
