Pause before checking or acting from frustration.
TiltLock
Pause before the next tap.
TiltLock blocks selected apps, guides a short reset, and helps you decide whether to return with intention.
Available on the App Store for iPhone. No Steadfast account required.
Why it exists
A little friction can change the next action.
Tilt happens when emotion, urgency, boredom, or temptation pushes a person toward reactive app use. A direct block and a short reset create room to decide what should happen next.
TiltLock is not advice, treatment, or a guarantee of behavior change. It is a support tool for adding a pause where an automatic habit used to be.
