Easy to override
When focus slips, the first reflex is often to snooze, unlock, or uninstall the blocker.
Clarity OS
Block the distractions you keep letting yourself reopen.
Clarity OS creates scheduled Protection Windows across your devices—and tells you honestly when protection needs attention.
For people who know what they want to work on but keep overriding ordinary app blockers in the moment.
The real problem
Motivation fades right when the boundary matters most.
Ordinary blockers are easy to postpone, disable, or forget. A green status is worthless if protection is not actually working. Clarity OS is built for the moments when willpower dips—and for status you can trust.
Weak at the hard moment
The urge to reopen distractions is strongest exactly when you need the boundary.
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.
Commitment
Protection Windows are designed to hold through moments of weak motivation. Flexible windows can end early; stricter commitments are meant to stay until time is up.
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.
Only currently truthful launch surfaces are listed below. Platform permissions and setup are required for enforcement.
Web
Schedule Protection Windows, manage what you block, and review honest protection status from your account.
iPhone
Apply protection on iPhone with the Clarity OS app. Screen Time and network filter permissions are required during setup.
Windows
BetaWindows desktop protection is available in beta. Honest status reporting is part of the experience while beta validation continues.
Chrome extension, Android, and other surfaces are not presented as public launch support while they remain deferred or unsupported.
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 motivation dips. 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, Windows (Beta). Chrome extension and Android are not part of the public launch promise right now.
Does the app need to stay open?
No for ordinary use on supported mobile and desktop enforcement paths after setup. Protection is meant to continue with the device’s allowed background mechanisms. You still need the app installed, permissions granted, and devices able to sync when online.
What permissions are required?
It depends on the device. iPhone protection uses Screen Time / family controls style permissions and a network content filter. Desktop protection uses the privileges needed to apply blocking on that platform. The product walks you through what each surface needs.
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.
How does the free trial work?
Your 14-day free trial begins when you create an account. No card is required today. During an active trial, your account is treated as eligible for Clarity OS Pro features. When the trial ends without an active subscription, Pro access may stop.
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.
