What is Recode?

I built Recode because I was losing myself in endless scrolling. I felt distracted all day, drained at night, and ashamed of how little I got done. Other screen time apps were too easy to bypass, so I built Recode for myself, and it worked. Even in its demo version, the simple act of requiring a QR or barcode scan to unblock apps completely shifted my habits. Knowing that I wasn't able to unblock apps until I got home kept me off of my phone. Over time, I reclaimed focus, confidence, and the satisfaction of being productive.

What Recode is, and how it helps you:

  1. It physically stops you from using distracting apps. You choose which apps to block and set up a QR or barcode as the code. To unlock your apps, you must physically scan the code. No more bypassing your blocks with a few taps.

  2. It's designed for accountability. You'll know that you cannot cheat yourself without effort. That friction of having to physically go to your code to unblock your apps is the built in resistance that will stop you from reflex checking.

  3. You'll see real results. As you use Recode, you'll start to feel real results: more focused work sessions, less mental clutter at night, better rest, and more confidence in your ability to get things done.
