GrateGate: Gratitude App Block

GrateGate is an app blocker with a twist: instead of a timer, it turns mindless scrolling into a daily gratitude practice.

Choose any app on your phone — social media, games, news — and set it as your "gate." Every day, before you can open it, GrateGate asks you to write 5 things you're grateful for. One small pause. One powerful habit.

No skip button. No shortcuts. Just you, your thoughts, and a moment of reflection.

─── HOW IT WORKS ───
1. Choose an app to gate
2. Write 5 gratitudes to unlock it
3. Your gate resets every morning at 5 AM
