The loop
Block
Pick any apps on your phone: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, games, browsers. Opening one shows Broc's wall: the badger, your habit list, and what each habit earns.
Do the habit
Set anything concrete: read 10 pages, work out, meditate, tidy up. Reorder them, group them by category, give each its own reward size.
Prove it (your choice per habit)
Photo: snap the open book or the gym and Broc's AI checks it matches. Timer: the minutes count while you stay in the app and pause if you leave. Or honesty mode with no proof at all.
Earn and spend
Completed habits unlock screen time. Spend it; when it's gone the wall returns until the next habit. Streaks and a four-week grid track every day you follow through.
The two unlock modes
Per habit is the daily driver: each finished habit opens a timed window (you set the size per habit; the workout can pay more than the dishes). All habits first is strict mode: nothing on the block list opens until the entire day's list is cleared. Exam weeks, training blocks, mornings: see the morning setup.
Time itself can run as a window (a countdown that starts when you unlock) or a budget (a pool you spend across the day, pausing when you leave the app). Window is simpler; budget is fairer if you scroll in short bursts.
Verification, honestly explained
The tap-the-box lie is how most habit apps die, so Broc closes it. Photo verification sends your snap through an AI check: does this look like an open book, a gym, a made bed? It sees the photo you chose to take, checks it, and doesn't build a gallery of your life; details in the verification guide. Timer verification is simpler: the countdown runs while Broc stays open, pauses when you leave. Both exist so the unlock means something.
Permissions: what Broc sees and doesn't
| Permission | Why | What it can't do |
|---|---|---|
| Usage access | Know which app is in the foreground, to compare against your block list | Can't read content, messages or browsing history |
| Display over other apps | Show the wall over a blocked app | Nothing else; it's how the wall appears |
| Camera (optional) | Photo verification, only when you take a photo | Never records in the background |
| Notifications (optional) | Daily reminders | Off means off; blocking works without them |
No keylogging, no screen recording, no location tracking. The full detail lives in the privacy policy.
What Broc deliberately doesn't do
- No uninstall prevention. Broc deliberately leaves app removal available. Its counterweight is your streak: deleting a visible three-week record is a decision, and that's the point. More in the bypass guide.
- No snooze, no "5 more minutes." The wall has no negotiation surface. That absence is the product.
- No ads, no data selling. The subscription is the business model, full stop.
