Celery: Focus is a Team Sport
be present with your friends
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Willpower is overrated. Your friends are not.
The people who know you best are the ones who can actually change your habits. Build a pod with your friends, lock down your most distracting apps, and share a daily time budget. Every unlock costs the whole group—so you'll think twice before opening TikTok.
*** How It Works ***
A pod is the group of people you want to be your accountability buddies. Think: your roommates, your partner, your close friends. Whether just you and 1 other person or up to 10 people max, it's a group who've got each other's backs.
1. Create or join a pod
2. Pick the apps it controls—Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, etc. or any combination
3. Set a shared daily time limit for the group
That's it. Those apps are now locked for everyone in the pod.
*** Claiming Time ***
When you need access, you claim time from the pod.
→ Choose how many minutes you need
→ Write a short justification note so your friends know what's up
→ Snap a selfie to keep it real
→ Your apps unlock and the timer starts
When your timer runs out, those apps lock again—automatically.
Only one person per pod can have access at a time. And every minute you use comes out of the shared daily pool. When it's gone, it's gone until tomorrow.
*** Multiple Pods, Multiple Circles ***
You can be in several pods at once, each with different people and different apps.
→ Your study pod going phones down in the library and actually getting through the work together
→ Your partner pod for keeping evenings free from ending with both of you on your phones
→ Your roommate pod where someone always calls you out (lovingly) for opening YouTube again
Each pod has its own app list, its own time budget, and its own daily reset.
*** See Everything That Happens ***
Your pod has a shared feed where you can see what everyone is up to — react to your friends' claims, drop a comment, and keep the accountability going.
*** Why Celery Works ***
→ Real stakes — you're in it together, not just on your own
→ Real accountability — from people who actually care about you, not an app timer
→ Real people — not an algorithm, your actual friends
→ Real results — less mindless scrolling, more of everything else
=======================================
Less doomscrolling. More laughing, cooking, reading, walking, and actually living.
