Unlock difficulty levels

How do I turn a block off, and how hard is that?

That is up to you. When you start, you choose one of five escalating difficulty levels: PIN (easy), cooldown delay (medium), accountability partner (hard), passphrase (hard), and lock until a date, which is Nuclear Mode. The harder the level, the more friction stands between you and giving up.

What that means in practice

  • The level is chosen at the start of a session, not during it. That is what makes it work.
  • Gentle levels can be stopped early; hard and Nuclear levels cannot.
  • Match the level to the habit rather than to your mood: pick for the version of you who will want out.
