Cucut, the alarm clock that makes you earn your screen time
Cucut is an iPhone alarm that keeps ringing until you complete a physical or mental mission, then converts the result into minutes for blocked apps.
Field notes
Cucut describes a mission catalogue of nine activities, ranging from arithmetic and tile memory to accelerometer shakes, gyroscope mazes, breathing, step goals, push-ups, and a self-registered QR code. Rewards are assigned in three tiers: +5, +15, or +30 minutes, while app windows cost 5, 15, or 30 minutes and expire at midnight. The page also specifies that selected app names never leave the phone; the server receives only an alias, friend code, and four numbers.
