Gentle habit apps fail because you just swipe the alert away and keep scrolling. FinishIt physically gates your favorite distraction sites on Chrome and nags your phone until your 3 daily habits are actually done.
Why typical to-do lists and gentle habit apps fail you every single day.
You sit down to study or write. You open one tab to check the news. Suddenly 2 hours vanish, your to-do list hasn't budged, and you feel guilty all night.
Standard habit trackers send cute little push reminders. Your brain swipes them away and goes right back to doomscrolling Twitter or YouTube.
FinishIt locks down your favorite distraction sites until your 3 daily habits are done. When you work, you focus. When you finish, you browse 100% guilt-free.
