the exit isn't yours to open

hand the key to someone you trust. you can't unlock your own phone at your weakest moment — only they can. accountability that actually holds.

the idea

willpower apps fail because you hold your own off switch. people already give a friend their screen-time passcode so they can't cheat. tinyphone makes that real: your partner, a friend, your sponsor keeps the key — you decide the rules together, and you can't quietly undo them alone.

who it's for

couples who want phones out of the bedroom and mean it · anyone in recovery from a feed, a game, a habit · study partners and "we're both doing this" pacts.
