Field notes
The page lays out a progression from app limits to streaks, reward boxes, and collectible characters, alongside optional blocking tools such as bedtime schedules and focus sessions. Its first series is described as 18 characters, including “Opened app, forgot why” and “Saves everything, reads nothing.” Friend groups are described as supporting up to six people, with streak sharing and character exchanges. The site presents these as app features but says the App Store release is coming soon.
