Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Your apps stay blocked until you do one real-world social rep. Wave at someone. get rejected. Log the proof. Unlock your phone.
Your apps won't open until you talk to someone in real life.
iNTRPT is a pattern interrupt for men who scroll instead of socializing. You pick the apps that pull you in: Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, X, whatever owns your time. You lock them. They stay shielded until you log proof that you went outside and engaged with another human being.
No theory. No courses. No motivational quotes. just real reps.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick your apps to block
2. Start a lock-in session
3. apps stay shielded until you log a real-world social proof
4. log the proof, earn back time
5. Repeat daily, build the streak, rebuild the muscle
FOUR PROOF TIERS
Every approach you log earns unlock time and points. Choose the level that matches what you actually did:
WAVE LOG (5 points, unlocks 30 minutes)
acknowledged a stranger. eye contact, nod, brief hello.
REJECTION LOG (10 points, unlocks 1 hour)
You went for it and got rejected. the most valuable rep. effort over outcome.
AUDIO LOG (20 points, unlocks 3 hours)
Record your own voice reflecting on the approach. stays on your device. never uploaded. for your reflection only.
PHOTO PROOF (25 points, unlocks all apps)
Take a selfie at the location of your approach. proves you showed up. unlocks everything for the rest of the day.

DAILY CHALLENGES
Every morning, a new challenge calibrated to your barriers and commitment level. start small. Compliment a stranger's outfit. Ask someone for the time. build the reflex.
STREAK TRACKING
One approach per day keeps the streak alive. Miss a day, and it resets to zero. day 7, day 30, day 90 — milestone notifications mark the pattern dying. Day 90 is the day you stop being someone who used to have approach anxiety.
NOTIFICATIONS THAT EARN THEIR PLACE
Morning challenge at 7:30 am.
evening reflection at 8 pm.
Streak warning at 9 pm if you haven't logged.
milestone celebrations at days 7, 30, and 90.
That's it. No engagement bait. No notification spam.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your audio recordings never leave your device. deleted within seconds of recording stop.
Your photos never get written to disk. processed in memory, then released.
No analytics tracking. no third-party SDKs. No telemetry harvesting.
Gio sees your typed situation text. That's it. No audio. No photos. no location.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Men who scroll too much and approach too little. engineers, professionals, late bloomers, chronic overthinkers. Anyone tired of being good at everything except talking to people?
