HabitPass turns your Screen Time blocks into a vocabulary workout. When you open a blocked app, a few flashcards stand in the way — ace them, and you're back in.

Tiny sessions. Real momentum.

No streaks-or-die guilt trips, no marathon study plans. Just a few cards every time a distraction tries to win.

Atomic learning

Five to twenty cards per unlock. Designed to fit in the gap between picking up your phone and actually using it.

Real Screen Time blocks

Built on Apple Family Controls. The shield is real — there's no “just close the app” loophole.

Smart spaced repetition

The SM-2 algorithm brings back words you struggle with, and stops drilling the ones you already know.

How it works

Three quick choices in setup, then the app gets out of the way.

Pick your language and lock time

Choose what you're learning and the time of day when the lock kicks in.

Choose what to block

Pick the apps and categories that pull you in. Social, news, games — your call.

Unlock with vocabulary

When the lock is active and you tap a blocked app, a quick flashcard set appears. Swipe through, get back to your day.

Six languages on the roadmap

Translations of the 10,000 most-common English words, sourced from open-subtitle frequency data.

Spanish
French

Your data stays on your device.

Apple Family Controls keeps your app selection completely private — even the developer can't see which apps you've chosen to block. Practice history, streaks, and progress live in iOS-protected storage on your phone, never on a server. Read the full privacy policy →
