iPhone
Start your day by unlocking your phone with a ritual, not a scroll. End it writing what you're grateful for. No backend, no tracking — just you.
Hold is the app that bookends your day with awareness instead of scrolling.
MORNING: HOLD, DON'T SCROLL
Instead of reaching for social media first thing, hold the orb for three seconds. That's it — your day begins with a moment of stillness instead of a feed. Your chosen apps stay locked until you do.
EVENING: THREE MINUTES OF GRATITUDE
As the day winds down, Hold invites you to write what you're grateful for, then hold the orb for a few seconds of quiet reflection before bed.
WATCH YOUR STREAK GROW
Every ritual adds to your calendar. See your gratitude history and streaks - a quiet record of what your days are actually made of.
WHY HOLD
• Blocking with "Screen Time" (Apple's Family Controls) — no gimmicks, no ads to watch, no way to cheat past it
• A real gratitude journal, not just a mood check-in
• A morning ritual that takes 3 seconds and an evening one that takes 3 minutes
• All your data stays on your device - nothing is uploaded anywhere
Hold is a subscription app. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.
