Social media stole your attention. We help you take it back.

Your apps stay locked
until the work is done.

TarkizAI blocks your distracting apps at the OS level and only unlocks them when you've completed your daily tasks, verified by AI, not just a countdown.

No spam. No credit card. You'll get build updates + founding member pricing.

We'll send you build updates as TarkizAI takes shape, and you'll be first in line when we launch.

The real cost of distraction

You don't have a willpower problem. You have a design problem. Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube pour billions into keeping you trapped, and it's working. That startup idea still in your notes app? That goal you keep pushing to tomorrow? They're not waiting for motivation. They're waiting for you to stop being designed against.A timer won't fight billion-dollar algorithms. A real lock will.

How it works

Four steps to actually get things done

Not a timer. Not a nudge. A real lock with a real key.

1

Set your task

Tell TarkizAI what you need to finish. AI helps you write it so it's clear, specific, and actually achievable today.

Takes 30 seconds
2

Your distractions lock

Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, gone at the OS level. Not minimized. Not hidden. Actually inaccessible until you finish.

Designed to resist easy overrides
3

Do your work

Focus without the pull. Your phone becomes a tool, not a trap. TarkizAI runs quietly in the background, no babysitting needed.

On-device processing, fully private
4

Verify and unlock, you earned it

TarkizAI confirms you did the work through AI-powered quizzes, self-report with cooldown, or a trusted check-in. Then your apps unlock. No guilt.

Real verification, not a timer trick
Why TarkizAI is different

Other apps ask nicely. TarkizAI enforces.

Common questions

FAQ

What platforms will TarkizAI support?+
TarkizAI will support both Android and iOS. The blocking experience may differ slightly between platforms due to how each operating system handles app-level permissions.
How does TarkizAI keep you accountable?+
Four layers, you pick what works for you: a focus timer that detects if you leave, self-reporting with cooldown, a trusted check-in partner, and AI-powered quizzes that verify you actually learned what you claimed. Most blockers just lock your phone. TarkizAI checks that you did the work.
Is my data private?+
Yes. All task processing and focus monitoring happen on-device. Your tasks, habits, and app usage data never leave your phone. Privacy-first is a core design principle, not an afterthought.
Can I really not bypass the lock?+
TarkizAI is designed to make bypassing significantly harder than typical focus apps, but we won't pretend it's impossible. A determined user can always find workarounds on any platform. The goal is to create enough friction that the easy path is finishing your task, not gaming the system.
Is it free?+
Pricing isn't finalized yet. Early waitlist members will get founding member pricing, a permanent discount as a thank you for believing in the product early.
When does it launch?+
We're targeting a closed beta in late 2026. Waitlist members will be the first to get access. You'll receive build updates along the way so you know exactly where things stand.

Your apps should be a reward.
