Easy to override
When the urge hits, the first reflex is often to snooze, unlock, or uninstall the blocker.
Clarity OSYou tried blockers. You just turn them off.
Clarity OS makes your earlier decision harder to reverse — and tells you honestly when protection stops working.
Outsource discipline. Reliably.
For people who know what they want to do but keep overriding ordinary app blockers when the urge hits.
The real problem
The block fails when you're tired, bored, or on autopilot — not when you decide to quit.
Ordinary blockers are easy to postpone, disable, or uninstall. A green status is worthless if protection is not actually working. Clarity OS is built for the weak moment — and for status you can trust.
Weak at the hard moment
Bypass happens on autopilot — boredom, tiredness, or muscle memory — not after a calm decision.
Status without truth
Feeling protected while enforcement quietly fails is worse than knowing you are unprotected.
How it works
Choose what to block. Start or schedule protection. See the truth.
Setup takes a few minutes, and supported devices need the permissions Clarity uses to apply protection.
Choose what to protect time from
Pick the apps, sites, or categories that pull you away from the work you mean to do.
Start now or schedule a Protection Window
Begin immediately, or set recurring windows for the hours that matter most.
Clarity applies protection on supported devices
After setup and permissions, Clarity applies your window on the devices you use with Clarity OS.
See whether protection is verified
Clarity shows Protected, last confirmed, or Needs Attention—so you are not left guessing.
Why Clarity OS is different
Harder to casually bypass. Coordinated across devices. Honest when it cannot protect you.
Make the decision once
Protection Windows protect the rule after you start. Flexible windows can end early; strict commitments are meant to stay until time is up.
No cooperation required
Your blocker shouldn't depend on you agreeing not to bypass it. Clarity is built for the moment after you've already said no.
Cross-device coordination
Schedules and active windows stay coordinated across the supported surfaces you connect—so protection is not trapped on a single screen.
Honest protection status
Clarity distinguishes intent from verified enforcement. If something needs attention, the product says so instead of quietly claiming you are protected.
Supported surfaces
Protection where you actually work—without overclaiming the rest.
The v1 launch is the web app plus iPhone. iPhone preview distribution is labeled honestly while the App Store listing is completed.
Web
Schedule Protection Windows, manage what you block, and review honest protection status from your account.
iPhone
TestFlightiPhone protection is available as a TestFlight preview while App Store listing and current-build gates finish. Screen Time and network filter permissions are required during setup.
Windows, Mac, Chrome extension, Android, and other surfaces are not part of the current public launch promise.
See the product
Protection you can schedule—and status you can trust.
These views reflect the product people use today: choosing what to block, running a Protection Window, and reading honest status.
Protected
An active window is in effect and enforcement looks verified for that device context.
Last confirmed protected
Clarity last saw verified protection recently, but is not claiming a live Protected state right now.
Protection Needs Attention
Something needs your help—permissions, setup, or a device that is not verifying enforcement.
Compared with common approaches
Not another quiet timer you can dismiss.
Capability comparison—not a takedown of any one product. Named platform tools differ; Clarity's job is commitment plus truthful status.

Trust & privacy
Permissions for protection. Conservative status. Your account, deletable.
- Clarity uses the permissions required to apply protection on each supported device—nothing mystical, and setup is part of the product.
- Clarity OS is not built to sell your browsing history or build advertising profiles.
- Protection status is intentionally conservative: better to know you need attention than to believe you are protected when you are not.
- You can delete your account in the app when you want your data removed.
FAQ
Answers before you start
How is this different from Screen Time or a normal blocker?
Built-in controls and ordinary blockers help, but they are often easy to postpone or disable when you're tired, bored, or on autopilot. Clarity OS is built around Protection Windows for commitment, coordinates those windows across supported devices, and shows honest status when protection cannot be verified.
What happens if I try to bypass it?
Clarity is designed to make casual bypass harder, not to claim it is impossible. Depending on the device and permissions, you may need passcodes, reinstall steps, or other friction. If protection is removed or cannot be verified, status should reflect that instead of quietly staying green.
What do “Protected,” “Last confirmed,” and “Needs Attention” mean?
Protected means Clarity has reason to treat enforcement as verified for that context. Last confirmed protected means Clarity recently saw verified protection but is not claiming a live Protected state. Protection Needs Attention means something requires your help before you should trust the boundary.
Which devices are supported?
Publicly presented surfaces today: Web, iPhone (TestFlight). Windows, Mac, Chrome extension, and Android are not part of the v1 public promise. iPhone is currently a TestFlight preview while the App Store listing is completed.
Does the app need to stay open?
No for ordinary iPhone use after setup. Protection is meant to continue with the iPhone's allowed background mechanisms. You still need the app installed, permissions granted, and the phone able to sync when online.
What permissions are required?
iPhone protection uses Screen Time / family-controls permissions and a network content filter. The product walks you through the required setup.
What happens when a Protection Window ends?
When the window ends, Clarity stops enforcing that window's block set. Other still-active windows can continue. Your schedules and categories stay saved for the next window.
Can I end one early?
Flexible Protection Windows can be ended early. Stricter commitments are designed so you stay until time is up. Ending one window does not clear other active windows.
What does it cost?
$59.99/year, billed annually. That is the only plan — there is no monthly option and no permanently free tier. Apple shows the price for your country on the purchase screen before you buy.
How does the free trial work?
You get 7 days free when you subscribe in the iPhone app, and Apple does not charge you until the trial ends. The trial runs at full protection strength — it is not a weakened version. Cancel before it ends and you are not charged. We also email you before every charge, including the first one.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Account deletion is available in the Clarity OS app settings, and is also described in the Terms of Service.
What happens if a device goes offline?
Already-applied local protection can continue on that device depending on the platform path. Cross-device status becomes more cautious when Clarity cannot confirm enforcement—honest “last confirmed” or Needs Attention labeling beats a false Protected claim.
