Doubleknot
Step 01
Pick your poison
Choose the apps that eat your day — social, video, games — and set a daily step goal that stretches you. They lock at midnight.
Launching soon · iOS & Android
No one scrolls until everyone moves.
Doubleknot locks your most distracting apps behind your daily step goal. Go solo — or tie in with a team, where nobody's apps unlock until everybody finishes. Willpower is optional when your friends are on the rope.

Team mode — the part that actually works
Your apps are tied to
their step count.
Solo streaks break quietly. Teams don't. In team mode, every teammate must hit their daily goal before anyone's apps unlock — so when you sit down, you're not just blocking yourself. You're blocking your best friend's group chat.
Today's rope team
Three of you have finished. Sam is 1,800 steps short — and everyone's Instagram stays locked until those steps land. Expect a very motivating text.
Apps locked for everyoneHow it works
Tie in. Walk. Unlock.
Step 02
Tie in with your team
Invite 2–6 people you'd hate to let down. One shared rule: nobody's apps unlock until everybody hits goal. Or go solo — the lock still holds.
Step 03
Walk it off
Steps sync automatically from your phone or watch. Hit the number and everything unlocks — for you and the whole rope team, together.
Why it sticks
Willpower fails.
Rope teams don't.
Every screen-time app asks you to police yourself. Doubleknot changes the physics: your unlock depends on people who will absolutely knock on your door.
65%
Accountability works
People who commit goals to a partner are dramatically more likely to hit them than people who keep goals to themselves.

Questions
Before you tie in
What if a teammate just… doesn't walk? +
That's the point — and the pressure works both ways. Teams set their own goal levels, and there's a built-in "rescue" option a limited number of times per month, so one bad day doesn't sink the rope team. But mostly? People walk. Nobody wants to be the reason four friends can't open Instagram.
Can I play solo? +
Absolutely. Solo mode locks your chosen apps until you personally hit your goal. Many people start solo and rope in friends once they feel the difference.
How does it count steps? +
Doubleknot reads steps directly from Apple Health or Google Fit / Health Connect, including from your watch. No extra tracker needed, and your health data never leaves your device except the daily goal-met signal your team sees.
Can't I just delete the app to cheat? +
Doubleknot uses the platform's screen-time frameworks, which make quick workarounds deliberately annoying — and in team mode, cheating shows. Your team sees goal status, and the social contract does the rest.
When does it launch, and what does it cost? +
Early access rolls out to the waitlist first, iOS leading. Waitlist members lock in lifetime founder pricing before public launch — joining the list is free and commits you to nothing.
