"Pause before you scroll"

Most app usage is impulsive—you reach for your phone without thinking. TaskGate adds intentionality by requiring a small commitment before access. Whether it's a breathing exercise, a reflection, or a partner app's challenge, you'll build healthier digital habits one task at a time.

Before: Impulsive Opening

You tap Instagram or TikTok without thinking, losing minutes (or hours) to endless scrolling and distraction.

After: Intentional Access

TaskGate intercepts the impulse, presents a quick task, and gives you the choice—continue with purpose or redirect your time.
