A personal economy
for your attention
Ravelo turns your screen time into a financial system. Distracting apps are blocked by default. Productive apps pay you in minutes — spend that time to unlock entertainment. The math enforces what willpower can't.
- Earn Capital — productive apps like learning, fitness, and reading deposit minutes into your balance.
- Budget Content — social media, games, and streaming are blocked by default. Spend earned minutes to unlock them. No balance, no access.
- Automatic enforcement — Ravelo works through iOS Screen Time. Distracting apps stay blocked until you unlock them with earned time. The system enforces it, not you.
- Hardcore Mode — removes Quick Peek and locks the block list. No 1-minute bypasses, no removing apps from the list. Earn your way back, or stay blocked.
Why it feels different
Ravelo is not selling motivation. It changes the rules of access.
Blocked by default, not by intention
Most blockers activate only after you start a timer or hit a limit. Ravelo changes the default state first, so temptation has less room to negotiate.
Entertainment becomes earned access
Ravelo does not just punish scrolling. It lets productive behavior buy your way back into entertainment, which makes the system feel fair enough to keep using.
Useful work can happen off-phone
Focus sessions cover the moments when the real work is on your laptop, at the gym, or in a notebook. You can still earn time without gaming the system.
Hardcore Mode removes escape hatches
When you need stronger guardrails, Ravelo shuts down the usual loopholes: no quick peeks, no casual overrides, no quietly editing the block list mid-urge.
Know your
Productivity ROI
Ravelo gives you three numbers that matter. Not vanity metrics — actionable signals about how your time is actually being spent.
The ratio of educational to entertainment time. Above 1.0 means you're earning more than you spend.
A weekly breakdown of your focus sessions. See your patterns, identify your weakest days, fix them.
Minutes earned vs minutes spent. The closer the balance, the more intentional your day.
