Grindly uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls). You pick the apps to block, and Grindly shields them on your device — either for a timed Lock-In Session or until your daily non-negotiables are done. You'll be asked to grant Screen Time permission the first time.
That permission is what lets Grindly actually lock apps. It runs entirely on your device, and your selections are anonymous tokens we can't read. See our Privacy Policy.
Lock-In Sessions are intentionally high-friction — that's the point. iOS doesn't make blocking impossible to circumvent, but Grindly maximizes friction so you stay locked in.
Finish your daily non-negotiables to keep your streak alive and grow the "don't break the chain" grid. Your current/best streak, completion rate, and discipline score are all computed on your device.
One honest price — monthly or annual, with a free trial on the annual plan and no predatory weekly billing. There's a genuinely useful free tier, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple account settings.
Open Settings in the app: tap Restore purchases, or Delete all data to permanently remove your tasks, profiles, sessions, and streak history from the device. You can also export a copy first.
